First time smoking a brisket on my new 22! 10lb from Costco trimmed down, Diamond kosher and coarse hand ground pepper only, no binder. 2×1 snake method for a steady 225-250, which timed out perfectly – it died about 20 minutes after I pulled the brisket off the grill. Started at 9:30am, came off the kettle about 6pm and rested in a cold oven til 8pm for dinner.
Holy hell I cook a lot and this is easily top 3 best things I've ever made! Super tender and juicy, fat rendered down to Jell-O texture, smoky without being overpowering. Didn't even need a BBQ sauce drizzle. Served with blackened onion, pinto beans, potato salad, jalapeno cheddar bread, and triple creme brie (couldn't find any cambozola sadly.)
Pictures in reverse order, with a bonus shot of my gorgeous slate blue kettle fresh out of the box. I love this grill so much that my Blackstone, allclads and cast irons are all feeling neglected!

Looks a bit overcooked and dry to me.
As long as you’re happy, grill on.
I’ve been wanting to try this with my kettle. Beautiful smoke ring! Looks good, especially for a first cook. Keep doing your thing!
