Just put a brisket in the smoker at 10 am.Using Mesquite for 1 1/2  hour then Hickory for 11/2  hour smoking. Then keep it in the smoker till internal temp of 185 is achieved. Then take inside and towel wrap with foil for 2 hours before slicing.This was just over 5 lb brisket.

Okay, i smoked the brisket with mesquite for 1 1/2 hrs then with hickory for 1 1/2 hrs. Then just in the smoker for an additional 6 hours to a internal temperature of 185 deg F . Then brought inside and wrapped with aluminum foil and towels for 2 more hours. Then sliced it up and wow that is one tasty piece of meat, much better than pork butt.
internal temp of 185 and wrapped for 2 hours and ready to slice.

Very nice Smokey. I was looking at some brisket today at Sam's Club. I need to do one of these. I am still a brisket Virgin.

Smokey did you end up putting it in the foil pan for 2 hours?  If so did you add AJ and then make a foil tent?  I'm getting ready to do brisket for the first time and these pictures look great!
