What's up fella's. After a few tries at the snake method, failing, reaching out here for advise, then having a couple good successes at it, I decided to give a 10 lb. brisket a try.
I've normally done long cooks on the uds, but this year have started using the kettle, and after getting comfortable with the snake method, I felt I could give it a whirl.
I picked up this "choice" packer cut from my butcher, set up the Fleetwood with 3x3 snake using Stubb's briquettes and sprinkling the small leftover lump pieces over the top as buckie suggested in a previous thread. Wood choice was hickory.
I got the brisket on at 4:30 am and pulled it at 6:30 pm. I had a handful of the snake left at the end.
Nice bend
