Okay, just want to get some feed back, Internal temp 185 to 190, smoker temp 210 to 220. smoke for however long I want, sound right, then FTC for about 4 to 5 hours.

Thanks

You forgot to invite me! (and I like adult beverages)

Try to tun the smoker at 220-225. I like to pull at an IT of 185 but also give it a fork test to see how tender it is.

With enough adult beverages no one will remember the brisket anyway ;D

Take pics.

Almost ditto on the suggestions. I like 225 to 230 - just goes a little faster.

Oak or Hickory for the wood

Simple rub of salt and pepper and red pepper.

IT of 180 to 190 - but start checking about 180 as Arnie said!

The heck with the adult beverages - just don't forget the fatties, moinkballs, explosions, poppers, and anything bacon wrapped!

Assuming you need the IT to stay above 150 when you FTC? does it stay above 150 when FTC for 5 hours?

I have to work this weekend, so I plan on smoking this over night and trying to time it to FTC it about lunch time, and have it for dinner around 4 or 5 pm. So you think thats to long to FTC? I'll try and keep th cooking temp around 220 then. It's an 8.75lb sams cut brisket. I fugre start about 9pm tonight, and it should be done around 10 to 11 am on sunday.

You should be able to FTC for 4-5 hours with no problems.
