My 3rd brisket attempt

That looks incredible. I've not had a lot of luck with briskets but am planning on giving and overnight smoke a go. My overnight pork butts always come out good.

this was definately my best by far. will definately continue to use the mustard as a rub coating, i don't like it generally but such a nice flavor and bark. may be picking another one up in the near future. it's funny to, i was expecting dry as i recall just reading a post about someone wanting to keep it more moist. i didn't tent or anything, was in the smoke from about 830pm to 130pm and ftc for under 2 hours, hoping i can repeat this texture/juicyness again.

You know the drill take good notes and try to duplicate then on the next smoke, then if the steer and the smoker gods cooperate you get the same or better results, just saying :D

yeah i gotta get on the whole logging things, i've made a sauce twice now, and pretty sure i used different stuff each time, came out the same and i keep forgetting to write it down. i even printed out some of the logs from the recipe site, and yeah they sit there....blank. one of these days i'll get to it.

I kind of cheat now, I post all the details of good smokes here, then I just copy and paste into a word document and save in my smoker file.

Here's my ultra-sophisticated method of documenting my efforts! LOL

I might try that Joe, if I could only read my writing after I finished ;).

Haha-your method looks eerily similar to mine, other than your use of paper clips and binders seems quite technologically advanced. I just got rubber bands.

All of you guys with your PID's and 6 rack digital smokers, why not invest in a 3 ring binder and plastic cover pages like I did? LOL
