Just set up my first BGE today (large), never smoked a brisket before but followed Aaron Franklin‘s recipe: fat side up, egg at 275 with a water pan, smoked for about 10 hours until 175, then wrapped in butcher paper until 203. Came out pretty good but could use some suggestion on how to make it better next time! I noticed parts of the flat was a bit dry, not sure if it’s because I trimmed too much from the point, or if my brisket was too big and was exposed on the conveggtor.
