Starting at 220 over night, apple chunks under the grease pan with Rec Tec perfect mix...

I expect to pull it and move to warming drawer at 1500 ish tomorrow for dinner and company. Over kill for 4 people in these times, but leftovers are bound to be good! Finishing my wine watching it start before bed....

The flat and point pulled at 200...

First brisket on my new RT-700 - I was expecting more of a smoke ring.

I would have to agree on the smoke ring. Doesn’t make sense, based on your temp and time in the smoke before wrapping.
 
Agree on the smoke ring as well. Here's mine from last weekend on my 700 with the Rectec pellets.

Wow! What a difference! Do mind sharing your cook temp and duration? While I didn’t have much of a smoke ring, the taste was great!

thanks!

Happy to share. I cooked at 225. Put it on the Bull at 11pm. I had dry brined it the night before then put the rub on right before it hit the smoker. Went on cold, initial temp was probably about 37 or so. Finished at 203 degrees about 4:00pm the following day so about 17 hours total. I did not wrap, just cooked through the stall, although the general consensus is that all the smoke is absorbed in the first few hours anyway. As long as yours tasted good, that's all that really matters!
 
The lack of a smoke ring is curious. I cooked a 7# flat yesterday, 7.5 hours total at 250*, wrapped in butcher paper at 165*, and done at 205* and I got more of a smoke ring than that.
