Fathers day Brisket (June 19,2011)

Got a 6.5# Flat from the butcher shop, the only problem is they trimmed it to 1/8" fat or less. I asked them to keep atleast 1/4" fat-cap to keep moist on the long smoke.

Here is the Brisket rubbed the night before then reapplied rub for full coverage in morning

Got up at 4am on fathers day to get the brisket on.

9 hours on using mesquite wood, started to mop with the sauce.

10 hours and the Brisket hit 200*F looks good after mopping two times, time to wrap and place in cooler for 2 hours rest.

Served with red potato salad and fiesta beans.

Ate way too much, was soooo good!
