Picked up a small (~12lb) price brisket from Costco for my first brisket. Smoked for 11 or so hours at 250 with an extra-long rest since my timing was a little off.

I’d never had good brisket before, and this absolutely blew me away. Sides were beans with homemade cottage bacon, jalapeño cornbread, sweet corn, and coleslaw.

We also made some green chili mac and cheese topped with brisket and homemade pickled red onions. Also reheating some garlic and rosemary sausages I made.

I can’t wait to do another brisket, so please give me any tips and tricks you have!

    That looks delicious!

    My only advice would be to throw some baby potatoes in the smoker until they’re fork tender (45 mins?) before you’re ready to eat.
