I've wanted to try one ever since I got my smoker. Lathered it with mustard & worchestshire then added my rub ingredients: seasoning salt, brown sugar, ground pepper, chili flakes, chili powder (I like a little heat ;) )and garlic salt.
Getting ready for the massage, this is half of the brisket I bought about 6 1/2 pounds.

All rubbed & ready for smoke, used hickory & a couple of cherry's for 4 hours at an average temp of about 220 (didn't have quite enough hickory) The flavour was great.

I had the stall at 158 for about 3 hours, took it out at an IT of 200 & let it rest before slicing. One thing I did notice about 5 hours into the smoke the oven temp started dropping by 1 or 2 degrees every few minutes. Thought maybe it was a bad element? temp swing? At 185 I unplugged it & plugged it back in & it seemed to work fine after that I'll see if does it again on the next long smoke, anyway sorry for the long post.
Rewarded after 13 hours, tasted amazing.

John I am going to guess that you have a Digital Bradley. Did we have a "Blond Moment"? sounds like we forgot to set or reset the smoker time. Done that myself once or twice ::)

LOL you may right on that one Tenpoint5 I do have a Digital, I was probably fixated on the temp of the oven that I didn't notice the oven time :o

SJ,

Righteous looking brisket.  Nice bark and looks moist.  I pull most of mine between 190 and 195 in the first third of the flat.  Some come out at 185. 

That said, a brisket is ready when it's ready.

The Cook is always the final judge of how he likes it so it looks perfect to me.

The Bradley makes one fine brisket that you can put up to any other made.

Good luck and slow smoking,

Pachanga
