After having a lot of success with the smoker, Ed decided it was time to try a brisket. The local meat market provided us with a nice looking six pound brisket. After marinating all night, the brisket was put on the smoker at 8:30 am by a grumpy Ed ... no coffee yet. Blending a couple of recipes we ended up with a very pretty and very tasty brisket.
