It was in a low and dry smoke (Applewood) for eight hours and the taste was amazing - we cleaned our plates.
There are still about five pounds remaining and am putting it in the oven tomorrow under wet steam to get it to the 'pulled' state.
The brisket had a nice large fat cap and we chewed that to get the flavor but the dogs were especially happy to get what we left on our plates!
My old dog Finnegan is starting to have some health issues (beyond being deaf, senile and blind) and the other critters are a bit on edge tonight - aware of his plight or reading our concerns. I do not know how old he is as he was a pound puppy - he came to me as an adult dog eight years ago. A really dear friend and boon companion.
