I ruined my first brisket. Pure creosote flavor on the bark. Basically followed the recipe in the Lazy Q booklet. 225 set to 190 internal. I thought I used a conservative amount of wood, 6oz of post oak from Fruita Wood. 12lb brisket. After 14 hrs the IT was only up to 180. I pulled it and rested in cooler. The flat was overcooked and dry. But the creosote was the killer. I plan to cook a small pork tenderloin with no wood. Next time 1 pc of wood, etc, until I figure out the results with less wood.
