Been a while since I had a brisket cook. Decided to do it on the weber kettle with the snake method. Used B&B charcoal briquettes and a combination of post oak and hickory wood chunks. Smoked about 8 hours at 250 degrees until about 160-165 and bark was set. Put it in a foil boat, bumped to 275 degrees and went around 4 hours more. Was a great and fun cook. Very happy with the result. Paired it with some sweet cornbread bread topped with honey butter, pickles, baked beans, and some pickled onions (first time trying these and they’re great!).

    Should also add that the rub I used was the TX rub from killer hogs

    The third picture has optical illusion.

    It’s a still photo but appears to be moving / shaking.

    Nice brisket by the way!

    did you have to add charcoal at any point? i would like to see a shot of your snake before you lit it.

    How heavy was this brisket? 12 hours is so doable. I’ve always avoided brisket on the kettle bc I can’t babysit it for 18 hours but I could definitely do 12!

  5. Great looking brisket! Looking all over fb marketplace for a weber kettle. Best bbq ive had was from the kettles or weber’s bullet smokers.

    Looks like you found it on the side of the road
