Thanks for all the input, fellas! Also, I will add that i absolutely hacked away at the brisket when I trimmed it. Definitely had those Noob vibes. LMFAO. @Waterboy Did you pull it when it probed tender or just when the temperature hit 203? I used the two probes, "Flat" probe was at 209 and...

So, I did my first brisket about a month ago. It turned out ok. Bark was nice, but flat was super dry, point was ok. Started at like 3am at 225. I positioned the brisket towards the center of my bull (point in the middle, flat towards the right). I think this is where my problem was. But what do...

If you have a Restaurant Store near you, they sell BM pellets for $8.99 20 lb bags. The one near me in Lancaster PA had Hickory, Oak, Mesquite, Gourmet Blend, Cherry and Apple.

So the general consensus is NO beef tallow for a binder, but use it during the wrap portion of the cook. Glad I asked! Would hate for my first brisket cook to turn out trash. LMAO. Thanks, guys! Appreciate you!

Thanks for the advice, Brad!

Makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the insight!

That's a good call out. But I think it would wash off if you laid it on thick, but with a nice thin layer just enough for the rub to adhere may work. I may experiment with it and see who if shakes out.

Thanks, Thor! Appreciate you!

Thanks, Lager! You're in my neck of the woods! I'm in York, PA! Awesome! Yeah, my stainless steel Weber kinda has a nervous look on his face. LMAO. Hopefully I can spread the love, but with all the capabilities of the Bull, I'm not so sure about that. Haha. Thanks so much for the guidance on...

Thanks, Jim! I’ll keep that in mind for the Mesquite. I got that, Hickory and Gourmet Blend. Let’s see how it turns out!

What’s the vibes everyone?! You know, to my surprise, the wifey encouraged this purchase! Put my order in this past Friday and should be here by the end of the week! I went to my local The Restaurant Store in Lancaster, PA and picked up 6 20lb bags of Bear Mountain wood pellets and got them for...

If you have a The Restaurant Store local to you, they sell Bear Mountain wood pellets for super cheap. You can have them ship it to you, but the cost of shipping equals out to paying full price for a 20lb bag. I got 6 20lb bags for less than $60. Lol. Here is the link...
