Cooking a brisket today on the SNP. Not sure I've got this cooker completely figured out yet. Eleven and a half hours into it now, and it's only 6.8 lbs. Is that ok? Been about 225 the whole time. We'll see how it turns out. No judges in sight. Film at eleven.

Judging by the size, it sounds like it's just a flat that you're cooking....or that was one tiny cow. With that temp and that time, that sucker should be close to done if it isn't already. 

Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

So where are the pics, Johnny?  The only bad pic is the one not taken.

Ok, here are the pics.  I was too tired and too hungry last night by the time it was done to upload the photos and post them.  May have had a few beers in me, too!   

The finished brisket


The seperated brisket.  See, Crash...it was a whole brisket, just a small one.  They had some at Wal-Mart that were twice the size, but I'd rather screw up 6.8 lbs of meat than 14.


I chopped/shredded the point.  Not sure if this is what one is "supposed" to do, but that's what I did.


And, finally...the sliced flat.



It seems that I have to figure out the macro setting on my camera for better closeups. They're a bit out of focus.

Exactly what defines a "good" smoke ring?  Is it the depth?  The definition? Or a combination?

[KidCurry]

Looks pretty good to me!  Where this sitting in a pan or on foil or anything like that?

[AzJohnnyC]

I cooked it right on the smoker grill, then wrapped in foil with a little beef broth in it for the last hour.

[RangerJurena]

Looks good Johnny.  My first one was like a boot...

[desertdog]

Nice job, Johnny!  That is an excellent smoke ring. 

Lotta times folks will take that point and make burnt ends (kind of a Kansas City thing).  You take those chunks of the point and put them in a tin with some sauce and let them crisp up.  Fun to experiment with different sauces, rubs, juices etc.

[azkitch]

ALL of mine have been like shoe leather. Yumm--oh... Someday, I'll out wait one. But last time I had my SnP runnin' at 250, I waited 14 hours and gave up!
Gorgeous smoke ring!! That's what it's supposed to look like, far as I'm concerned. Great depth AND definition.

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Great Job Johnny, looks fantastic. 

[Quiggs]

Nice Johnny! Looks good and moist!

[AzJohnnyC]

Thanks, guys. It was pretty tasty too. I still think fifteen hours was a bit long, but worth the time. I would have done burnt ends, but by that time, I was done.
