I was in Costco a few weeks ago and I was luck enough to snag a 14.4 lb prime brisket for $45.00.
I applied yellow mustard and pickle juice and then hit it with my rub. Put it in the frig for 10 hours and pulled it around 9:00 pm to put in the smoker. It used 6 oz. of pecan and set the temp to 225 degrees.
I woke up early in the morning (4:00 am) and decided to see how things were going. At first I thought no way, but the temp said 200 degrees on the brisket. I doubled checked with my thermoworks and yet it was 200!
I was expecting that the brisket would not be done until 11:00 or noon, but it was done. I pulled from the smoker and added some au jus covered with foil and placed back in the smoker at 160 degrees. I decided to pull it at 8:00 am and put it in the frig until dinner. I reheated the brisket at 250 degrees until it hit 160. Pulled let it rest and then sliced up for dinner. It was a bit over cooked (thin slices fell apart to easy), but the taste was amazing.
Dinner was brisket, Texas toast and homemade coleslaw!

I cut up the rest and will make BBQ pizza and BBQ sandwiches!
