One of the Albertson's that's on my normal route, started putting these Choice brisket flats out not too long ago. This seems like a really good value to me, so I said what the heck and brought one home.

I trimmed it up a bit and gave it the SPOG treatment. Here it is ready to go into the cooker.

Today, I used my Outrider, with a Cajun Bandit Stacker. Stubb's briquettes and several good size chunks of hickory were loaded into the bowl. :o 8) ;D

I used my 16" pizza steel as the diffuser. I got this idea from
@swamprb a while back (thanks man!) and have been using it since. After taking this pic, I put in a foil drip pan, filled with water. You can see the grease outline from my last cook on the steel.

I snapped this pic at the 4-hour mark and went shopping with my daughter for a couple hours.

We got home and the cooker was still holding a very steady temp. 225*-240* seems to be the sweet spot for low and slow on this thing. This is currently where I have my cookers set up. My red 78' MBH is hiding under cover on the right. ;D

Using my Thermapen, it was probing tender all over and had an average internal temp of 199*. I pulled the brisket at the 7-hour mark and wrapped in foil.

After resting on the counter for an hour or so, I sliced a couple off to take a pic and have a sample. We actually had leftovers for dinner, from a birthday party last night. This will be tomorrow night's dinner though!

As of right now, the Outrider, with Cajun Bandit Stacker, is my favorite cooker that I have to do cooks like this with. This set-up is extremely fuel efficient and easy to clean up.
Thanks for looking!
Wow, that is a great price. They are like $6 a lb here.
Really like that grill area and prep table there.
Great job man!

I always buy my brisket at GFS. Kroger charges $6.99 per pound and you only get a flat. My last brisket at GFS was $2.49 per pound and it's the flat and point.

Looks great!!!! love the grilling station, that 26er looks like a monster behind your 18.
Nice cook! Always wanted to try a brisket on my stacker. Just waiting for a sale.
