Here is the finished product. 9.5 hours and tender is the word. The chops ain't bad either but they did not need to be tenderized.

I am glad you were talking about brisket, I was afraid this thread was about my intellect.

Looks like a nice bark on that brisket, it's killing me to look at it.  If I could smell it thru the laptop, I'd eat the keyboard!

Good looking smoke ring too.  It sure looks like it turned out better than my first attempt!

The wife liked it so I passed the test. I think if I went longer on the brisket it could be more tender but it was very tender anyway. I was heavy on the rub, I think. The flavor was overpowering to the meat. I think I will go lighter on the pecan smoke next time too. I did like the pecan taste though. I bet the sandwiches will be even better today. Wish I had a done a bigger one.

I forgot to say thanks for the encouraging words guys. I makes the work easier somehow. Next time I will fret over the fire less and let the kettle do the work. It will be much easier.
