Smoked brisket

[HUNTINGMAN]

I had a brisket in the freezer and layer it out to cook last Thursday,that didn't happen for I was sick. I got up early this morning and fired up the smoker with some crab apple wood and brought it up to temp. I trimed most of the fat off but left enough for flaver and moisture,stabbing my hand in the process. I rubbed it down with some McCormicks pork rub and added salt and pepper. I placed a pan of water under it and began the smoke job. I smoked it unwrapped for an hour and a half,then brought it in and wrapped it in foil. I poured some apple juice on top of it and sealed up the foil. I finished cooking at between 200 and 300 degrees for the rest of the time. I cooked it for a total of 6 hours,it came out great. Realy fall apart tender and juicy. It's alot better than the first one I cooked,I think wrapping it helped,it didn't have that realy strong smoky taste and stayed realy juicy. I let it rest on the counter for 45 min before slicing,I'll be doing this aghttp://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii230/heatherjbrown2/f024bfaf.jpg[/img.

Brisky is some good stuff... Foiling does really help with moisture.. It does wash out some of the smoke flavor tho... Glad it came out good..

That looks awesome. One of these days I'm going to have to get a smoker and learn how to use it.

I've got a Pork Tenderloin and hindquarter going in the smoker tomorrow.

Glad it turned out good. Brisket is ok, but not one of my favorite things to drop on the smoker.

I have never had brisket. It looks real good tho.

It is pretty ironic that I said the other day I have never had brisket and I actually just had some yesterday for the first time, and boy was it good.
