Default First brisket today

I know right? I have cooked a hundred if not 200 ribs, pork, beef, sausages, everything but never wanted to do a brisket. Sorry Texans, I have just never been too in love with them. I've had some awesome brisket, just never cared.

So instead of me doing it, I made a rub and let it marinate for 4 days (some **** came up, couldn't cook it when I first intended) and today I am making my 16 year old do it while I am at work. LOL I am using Mesquite, which I NEVER do anymore. I haven't used mesquite in years but I think it will compliment the rub pretty well. If it turns out good I'll give up the rub ingredients. Here's what 4 days of a rub looks like.

2.3 lb

Start off smoker at 220*, looking for internals of 190*-195* and then wrap in aluminum foil until I get home. Guessing a 3-4 hour event. Making him start at 1PM (meat out of fridge at 12PM)

Good luck, I have a 10lb'er (small for me) I am doing, it gets marinated and injected tonight. But I smoke for about 15 hours when I do it.

TEN POUNDS! That'd make lunch meat for a week for us!

It's interesting, lots of spices, complicated...it may not smoke well. It may cake on me. We shall see.
