(//)This is an open post to everyone who has recently chimed in about tactics to tasty brisket.
Thank you! I read MANY posts and synthesized them into a set of tactics that thrilled my guests, yesterday:
- Bought a six pound brisket from Costco
- Decided NOT to use my standard home-made BBQ rub and went with a simple kosher salt/fresh ground black pepper/onion powder/cayenne rub.
- Rubbed the brisket about three hours before start of smoke and left it out to air-dry to promote pellicle creation
- Into a 230 degree Bradley with apple pucks...Started at 1:30am - Four hours on smoke
- Alarm goes off at 5:30am and the, now foil-wrapped, brisket goes into a 225 degree oven
- The nine hours of cook time (based on 1.5 hours per pound) was up at 10:30 and I took the brisket's temp...
- 200 degrees and I panicked. I was shooting for an internal temp of 185.
- Forged ahead by leaving the brisket, foil wrapped, in the oven..turned off, of course...to rest.
- Carved at about 1:00pm after having reserved the juices, skimmed for fat, and reduced for au jus.
- The results are attached and my guests were thrilled. (Struggling to attach the photo...will try with reply)
Again, many thanks for the expertise, and the willingness to take the time to share it.

It sounds like everything turned out well. :)
Here's a link on posting pics. It's not as hard as seems when you first look at the tutorial, especially after you establish a free Photobucket account.
How do I add pictures to my posts on the Bradley Smoker Forum? (http://www.susanminor.org/forums/showthread.php?488-Answers-To-Bradley-Smoker-FAQ-s/page2)

It looks like you were trying to provide a link to your folder and not the photo, that is why it wouldn't work for you. If you follow the instructions that TedEbear provided, you should be able to post pictures from Photobucket without any difficulty.
Also you should make your folders private. I usually mentions this through PM's only, but because you only have that one photo, I'll mention it in this post.
I really have to say that this forum has the best, most knowledgeable, most helpful folks of any in which I participate.
I will definitely read the instructions and will update my PhotoBucket account.
Many thanks,
Trying again, after having carefully read photo instructions:
