Thanks for the input everyone. I finally found brisket.
Snake is what I want to try. How many brickettes do I need for a 10lbs meat? I'll be adding wood chips in between the brickettes also. Do I put the brisket in an aluminium pan/plate it can retain it juices or do I'd just put an aluminium plate at the bottom with some water to help keep the air humid?

Here's my video on how I set everything up.

So I went with the snake method but my ambient temp is climbing slowly. It's now at 142 and increasing by 1 degree every few mins. Is that normal? I have a torch... Should I light up a few more brickets to help increase the temp faster?
IT of the meat is at 102...been on for 20 mins. It's a 4lbs piece.

Pork ass, snake 2x2 , what ever wood you got around, bottom blades 1/4 open top vent wide open, light 10 coals give it 10 mins, install meat, drink beer, come back in 3/4 hours , wrap, 2/3 more hours, rest 1-2 hours. Enjoy.


This is literally how I smoke ANYTHING

my only tip is DO NOT go by temp. Once the bark is firm, wrap. Once you can tooth pick it like your baking a cake your golden.

 Temp can mess with you. First and only time i did a brisket i went by temp and it wasn't done enough. Pork is damn near un fuckupable.

There's always a stall. Where the meat has sweated enough to be cooling the meat with its own juice sorta. But it eventually get by it. A 4lb with a 2x2 usually takes about 3-5 hours depending what the grill temp is hanging around at.

That's a good idea, I never thought of poor man burnt ends.
I buy a 25-30 pound whole boneless chuck roll, cut my own chuck steaks and chuck roast. Chuck and brisket trim are ground to make chuck/brisket burgers.

Great video. Does this method apply to any type of meat?
