Smoking my first brisket today. It's all wrapped up now resting. I'm still very nervous to cut into it. I hope it turned out well. Here are a few pictures to old me over until it's time to actually slice this thing up.
For the rub I just used a salt and pepper mix. Basically 50/50. I didn't measure it out, just poured a similar amount in a bowl.
This is right before I wrapped it. I wrapped it at 170 degrees. I hope that's close to right.
And this is what is getting me though the day. I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday than watching college football, eating bbq and drinking beer.
If it's worth a damn I'll post some post slicing pics. I'm crossing my fingers.
