    Attempting my first. Anybody ever smoked one? It is a very lean piece of meat and I fear going to 205 is going make it dry.
    Should I pull it at 190 and hope the temp rises a bit? It has been wrapped in butcher paper since 160 and had a nice bark on it at that point.
    Cooking temp of 225 before paper and 250 currently

    I guess Id base on probing vs temp…I just did a brisket this weekend and I had to go to like 208…it was great but had i gone 200 +/- it wouldnt have been there.

    I woulda maybe done foil vs paper and added some liquid. Ill be anxious to hear how it turned out

    Go by probe!
    Last brisket I did I thought I’d start probing it when it was 190 degrees. Grabbed my skewer and probed it was already butter @ 192 degrees! Wholey carp!

    It has passed the probe test @ 200 degrees. Talk to you boys after a little time to rest.
    I threw it on the char griller at about 195 and it quickly went to 200 and is looking good.
    I will let it cool at room temp until it hits 180 or so then wrap it up good and rest for an hour.
    It smells so good I can’t wait to taste it!

    I just tasted it. Honestly, I have had better. I would give it a 6/10.
    Maybe it will taste better tomorrow when I am not so full of booze and other food.

    I have never made one. But I’ve eaten a few and I always had the same reaction with bison brisk
