Brisket ? Pit masters

Wrap in foil part way through cooking or not? I've always wrapped the half dozen I've done. Got one now I've smoked at about 150 for a hour then it's been about 275 to 300 for another 2 hours. PK grill burning old hedge posts. Thinking trying it without wrapping. Think it will get too dry?

I think it will dry on you. I would wrap it.

Also those temps seem high to me. I start to get nervous anything over 250.

I cook mine until 165 then wrap till 205. I run the smoker around 225 to 250

I'll cut the temp back

They taste great but for the time and trouble? Nope done my last brisket. If I want brisket just go Thur sonny’s bbq drive thru

I put mine in a turkey bag around 140-150 then when it hits 180 I wrap it in a towel and throw it in a cooler for a few hours

I never wrap mine. Put it in and let it ride until it probes tender. Normally around 203

No profesional myself, but I always put on at daylight and wrap at around 1100, let cook rest of day. I keep the temps around 200- 225.

I dont wrap and mine never dry out but I dont trim any fat either. My favorite cut of meat by far.

I cook for 6 hours and then wrap in foil and add half a cup of apple juice cook 2 more. Called the Texas crunch I believe. It’s delious

There is a special kind of paper that a lot of folks wrap with.

Wrap it with pink butchers paper.

They had the 3wv state barbeque championship coo5koffs here yesterday. There were alpt guys from across the country here in my town yesterday.

Some of those barbeque rigs were huge.

Bet that was some good eating

If you are saying that your smoker temp was set at 150 for an hour you are asking for trouble. Bacteria will grow at that low temp for that long. I smoke mine at 250 and if it stalls out , ussually at around 165 I will then wrap. I have used pink butcher paper and foil and not noticed a difference. I like to get my brisket to 205 and pull it. It will rest for 2 hours before slicing.

This , pink butcher paper. It's in the stall, don't burn it tryin g to get it out, the pink paper will do it at 250 or so.
