BBQ Beef Brisket virgin

[CheapboatKev]

So I consider myself a decent cook, and I love my BBQ ribs..
Been watching these BBQ competition shows and the holy grail seems to be the big ol beef brisket.
So I figured I was up to the challenge and here is where I am at thus far..
12 lbs of beef brisket.
Dont have a smoker, so I am using my charcoal grill, with indirect heat from the coals.

about an hour in

4 hours

Here is 9 hours into this marathon

Been mopping it with my top secret mop sauce (it included a Corona, btw)

Have another couple hours to go...The little woman was shocked that I wasnt planning on having this for dinner! lol

Great recipe/technique!, if she thinks its "too smokey" then I guess you have to eat the rest all by yourself!

lol..She said "Nothing a little BBQ sauce wont fix!"

The last 2 hours I wrapped in foil and let it sit on the grill..Was pleasantly suprised.
I'll post the whole recipe and method in the morning if I dont explode from brisket overdose!
