Another Brisket Success Updated 12/27/19 step by step
Most of the family made it for an early Christmas. It seems the Big Green Egg stayed hot for two weeks straight. The brisket was the star.

I have an Egg, also, but have never done brisket on it. What was your method? I’ve smoked turkey and pork shoulder.

YouTube is a fantastic place to learn theory and techniques.
Pretty hard to get better advice than from these two:
Aaron Franklin the owner of Franklin BBQ which is one of the top BBQ joints on the planet. In 2015, he received the prestigious James Beard Foundation Award for Best Chef in the Southwest.

Look at Adam Perry Lang's recipe, "Get a book" brisket recipe. I also inject it an hour before cooking. Letting it rest in the cooler 1-3 hours before the final step makes a huge difference in tenderness. https://www.seriouseats.com/re...-brisket-recipe.html

Appropriated-sized for eating oneself sick. I'd be 2.5 pounds into the thing unless you stopped me. Love especially those carcinogenic ends. The Chinese lunch counter folk always laugh when I ask for the burnt ends, but hay, it's my thing.

Wow. That is quite extensive. I can’t wait to try it.

I may need to realign my priorities in life. I do not have a Big Green Egg. And this seems a somewhat terrible error.

Do yourself a favor and get a Kamado Joe instead.....it's everything the Big Green Egg should've become.....

Doing another one today. Here is the step by step
5:00 am
5:30 am
Injection marinade goes in.
6:00 am
Moisturizing paste and John Henry Pecan Rub goes on
7:00 am
On the smoker at 250 degrees, fat side down
10:00 am Apple Juice spray, every hour
1200 noon
165 degrees internal temp. Wrap in foil with apple juice. Back on the smoker fat side up
At 195 degrees I put the whole thing into humongous ziplock bag and into a towel line cooler where it rests for 1-3 hours until 30 minutes before final step
Remove the brisket from the bag and foil and back onto the smoker at 300 degrees for 30-40 minutes with barbecue sauce.
Final product
Served with dill and thyme and butter roasted potatoes and raspberry/spinach/apple/walnut/goat cheese salad

Like you, my BGE has been on more than not since Sunday before Christmas when we started with smoke pastrami.
Looking forward to progress. I am too damn tired to even think of cooking.....
