What is your method of smoking brisket on the rec tec?

Thanks, will try the search tool. New to the site.There are multiple threads in the forum about cooking brisket - tons of information. Have you read any of these and have questions? I'd suggest using the Search tool if you haven't already.
Thanks, I had been wondering which side was hotter.There's really nothing specific about smoking a brisket on a recteq compared to most other smokers. The 590 runs a little hotter on the right side, so I put the thicker point toward the right, otherwise, you can use one of the thousands of brisket recipes available on the web.
I have not been to Franklin's yet, but Blacks is definitely my favorite!No worries, Welcome to the club.
I was raised in TX, so I like central Texas style brisket.
I guess Franklin is now the king of brisket in TX, but it use to be Black's, Smitty's or Kreuz Market (all in Lockhart, TX....about 1/2 an hour south of Austin). I always liked Blacks better than the other two, but others prefer one of the other ones. They are all excellent though.
I use pretty much anything that's in the hopper now, but Oak is my favorite for Beef. I bought 100 lbs of Bear Mountain Gourmet pellets, and they are pretty good with everything.
Here's an interesting article on Franklin's way of doing it, and pretty easy to do. I've always kind of done it this way, but used to wrap in foil.

All I keep hearing on that is that it goes in like butter lolI'd make sure you recognize that there are 1000 roads leading to the finish, a good brisket. Find a method that works for you.
My only real suggestion is to learn/understand what "probe tender" is and I'd make sure you rest it.

Me either, but if you don't get in line hours before they open...you ain't getting any.I have not been to Franklin's yet, but Blacks is definitely my favorite!
I heard you can actually order online for pickup now.Me either, but if you don't get in line hours before they open...you ain't getting any.
Me....there very little on this planet that would have me waiting in line for it and none of it is food.
