it just pulled apart , but thanks for the advise thats the first time id had a go at brisket it came out ok (i think ) but having never eaten any before iv got nothing to compaire to .

i think i may have saved it ...

well .. if thats the case its probably a safe bet to chuck it

i know where i went wrong , i closed up some vents to cool down .. then fell asleep

oh well practice makes perfect .. butcher opens in a hour

school boy cooking error .. fell asleep on the sofa , woke up at five this morning to find the temp down to below 100
(id fiddled with the vents just before because it was getting above 250 ) dont know how long its been at that temp ..

just spent the last hour getting it back up again ..

bugger

i put it on around 2030ish its staying at a steady 230 at the mo so i think around 9hrs

thanks mate .. eased my mind a bit ..

bugger iv already started .. its been in for about 45mins temp seems leveled out ..

iv got the basket full with 3 fist sized chunks of hickory and im using the minion method .. iv got bugger all to do tomorrow so im gonna make a night of it , ill post some pics up in the morning

im a seasoned music festival crusty .. i never put a tent up without my smokey jo and my igloos full of ice and cider

err no ... whats season it ?

i brought a wsm today and iv got another day off so tonight i thought id try out brisket ..

iv got 2.7kg bit from tescos (the biggest bit they had), my local butcher was shut so it was the best i could do in short notice
this will be the first time i fire it up so im just wondering how long ya ...
