I've been lurking for a bit and have read numerous threads on a PID and cooking brisket. I finally ordered the Auber PID and am in process of cooking my first brisket (10lb). I will post pictures of the brisket after it is done. I have before pictures also. Here is the PID I ordered:

Here are a couple of pictures.
The first 2 are after when I took them put of the fridge and they had been in there about 24 hours with the rub. The second 2 are after 4 hours of smoking in oak and apple (sorry no mesquite ;)). Getting ready to go in the oven at about 225 for however long it takes to get to 195, I am guessing about 13-18 hours. They are sitting in a little beef broth and SoCo. ;D

Looks good - when's breakfast ?
Hi Gray, welcome to the forum. Everything looks great, enjoy.
2 questions,
How do you like the pid?
How come you're finishing it in the oven and not the box with your new pid?
Just wondering.

I haven't received the PID yet. I ordered it yesterday. I just checked the brisket and it was done already at about 195-200. Very, very, tender. I now have it FTC. I will take more pictures when I take it out and start slicing.

That's the same PID that I ordered for mine. Shipping was blazing fast (ordered on a Sunday, notified that it had shipped on Sunday, and it arrived here in Iowa on Monday).
At first the instructions made it sound like a pain to set up and use but it's really easy. I like the ability to "set and forget". It holds the temperature dead on where I set it.
I'm using it for the second time today (yesterday was the first with some ribs). My only (very minor) issue is the length of the power cord (could be longer). However I have several old computer power cords and just substituted a longer cord for the one the PID had. I'd also like the sensor cable to be longer, but again it's a minor issue.
Overall I'm impressed and pleased with mine and hope you are with yours when it arrives!
Pop_rivit thanks for the info I can't wait until it gets here. I ordered it yesterday and received the e-mail it shipped today. I am figuring I will have it Tuesday or Wednsday.
Here are the pics of the final product. This is after 8 hrs FTC. It was still hot.

Thanks for your input pop. :)
That's a mighty fine looking brisket Grayghst!!
very nice product... ;D
Thanks for compliments. I am hooked on Bradley now. I have used smoker/grills before and it was a pain keeping the temp constant with the logs, but Bradley is so much easier.
