Consistency is spot on but a bit on the salty side. I also wish the jalapeño came though better. As an english teacher I may have F’ed the conversion for a Triple batch!!! Pecan is nice wood!!!

when i make my Jalepeno brats I dice some peppers but i also add a healthy few shots of green tabasco.  Its mild on the heat scale but great jalepeno flavor

Any tips for smoking a brisket?  Trying my first one this weekend. 

Ill season with salt and pepper plus a little spice rub and granulated garlic. 

Most recipes Iv found say 225 until the meat reaches 165.

Then wrap in butcher paper and keep going at 225 until the meat hits 202-203.

Ill figure out approx. times once I get the brisket and know the weight.

Thanks in a advance... and stay tuned for updates!

Vacuum packed my venison jalapeño cheddar sticks tonight and needed to constantly taste it for quality control- found it MUCH better today. Still wish for more jalapeño “peppery” flavor so I will definitely add that next time.

This batch has better consistency while the jalapeño flavor is lacking- maybe another Monday round to host a taste test comparison

14lb brisket is trimmed and rubbed.  She’s going on the smoker tomorrow night.  Trial and error at its finest!

Looking good.  I wait to wrap when it hits the stall. That's usually around 160-170.  

Don't go by temp alone to determine if it's done.  When a temp probe slides in with no resistance, it's done. Point will be probe tender before the flat.  Some separate the two once it is, and put the flat back on and make burnt ends from the point.  I've had briskets be probe tender at 196, and some at 206, but most fall in the 201-203 range. 

Good luck.

I missed the stall... when I first checked it it was 175-180.  Wrapped it and will be done a little earlier than expected.  I threw a chunk of venison on too.   I’m taking notes and learning as I go.  I’m sure no matter what I do it won’t be too bad... plus most of us will be drunk by mealtime anyway.

Don't worry if it gets done early. Wrap it in foil, then I towels and put it in a cooler. It will stay hot for hrs.

Fantastic.   You did a great job on that brisket, and everything else.. Only issue I have is I wasn't invited.
