After a long 8 days at work, I could barely wait to get home and try smoking up my first brisket. I was able to pick up an 11 pound brisket at the local market and brought it home to season it up.

I rubbed it down with a mixture of Jalapeno mustard and Jan's rub

After seasoning it appropriately, I wrapped it up and put it into the fridge overnight.

After pulling the brisket out of the fridge, I let it rest for a couple of hours and then into the Bradley it went. Planning on doing 4 hours of Hickory. We'll see how it turns out. It went in tonight at 6 pm, so we'll see what the evening brings. First time doing a cook all night. Wish me luck :)

I'll send pictures of the final product! ;D
Well, I checked on the brisket throughout the night and was super pleased that the Auber held the temperature right at 225* and that there weren't any unexpected problems. The brisket hit 190* at 0815 and was removed from the smoker...

After removing from the smoker, FTC'd for 4 hours and then brought it back up for the cut up..Figured I'd cut half up for dinner with the family and vacuum seal the other half for later ;D
