Tried my first brisket yesterday after reading alot of the tips on this board.

Started the mesquite lump charcoal at 5:30 am and put the brisket on at 6:30am. Slow cooked it at 200-250 and took it off when internal temp hit 165. Wrapped in foil and put it in the oven at 350 till it hit 190. Let rest for an hour and then sliced it up.

Came out pretty good for my first time but think I let the heat get up a litte too high on the grill towards the end. Should of put it in a little earlier. Brisket was on the grill for 9hrs. Lots of juice in the foil when I sliced it. Meat was pretty tender but slightly dry. Put worchestire and a Cajun dry rub on it. Minced garlic on the fat side and cooked it fat side up.

Looks good BoatsnQ and it'll get better with experience. You'll find it's difficult to hurry brisket it takes time and heat to make it tender and juicy.

Looks very good. I've been slow cooking on a Performer and a 22 1/2" Silver with Performer lid for about 4 years and I have to say they work qute well. When I smoke a brisket, I put it in a foil pan, fat side up, so it can simmer in it's juices and keep from drying out. You may give that a try.

Anybody think baking it at 350 in the oven might have contributed to the dryness?

Not if it was foiled, it would be swimming in juices.

My guess was it was not rested before slicing...
