Well I just got done smoking my 1st whole brisket. It was 12 lbs and got it at Sam's on the way home from work Thursday. Rubbed it up good that night and in the fridge until 3 pm Friday. Got the Bradley heating up then and started smoking at 4. Smoked 4 hrs 40 min with oak and boated it at 9 then into the oven until 1:30 this afternoon. FTC until 3 and it's time to eat.

Coming to room temp



Into the Bradley



After 5 hours in the Bradley



After FTC and 23 hours start to finish.







It is tender and moist. Could have made pulled beef easy with it and was cooked to an IT of 180.

Thanks for all the advice from everyone on the forum.

Fantastic job Hawkeye! any leftovers can be shipped here.
pm for address  ;)
I do have one question though, i noticed that you have your rack low and close to the heating element.
i usually do my cooks up high and away from the heat with the thought that up and away would give a little
more of an even heat/smoke level.....am i thinking wrong?

Looks like Hawkeye has a 6 rack and is in the middle of the smoker which is where I always put single racks.  That position is just above the built in temp sensor.

Looks good. How do you like the caviar as a side dish.

Giz was right. I have the 6 rack and it was on the 3rd rack from the top. Seems to work well on a 1 rack smoke.

Love the caviar but have to confess, it was just a can of pintos with a peno, onions, garlic, salt, pepper and the SECRET ingredient, some chopped dried beef. The local meat market makes some real good dried beef that I use in a lot of things.  ;D Just had to have some pintos with the brisket.
