I tried a variation on the finish cooking. I've seen in competitions that most everyone wraps their meat in foil with a bit of liquid to get moisture back into the meat and get it up to final temp.
So, I went a different path - took the shoulder off after 4 hours of good smoke then put it in an oven bag with the oven temp set for 250F. Real time monitoring of the meat with a probe to wait for it to hit internal temp of 200F.
It turned out extremely moist, tender, good smoke flavor.
Going to be one of the first things I try on my new tail gator

I haven't seasoned her yet, but exited, picked it up in Ennis TX. It has a heavy steel charcoal pan inside so you can charcoal grill and the pan acts as a deflector shield to roll the smoke since wood is directly under the pit.

Still nibbling at the left over pulled pork.
Just wolfed down this sandwich for lunch - mighty good tasting!

I've been experimenting with that too. I smoked the last ones for 5 hours at 225, then wrapped in foil and put back in smoker for 3 hours at 250. Rested the meat (wrapped in towels and put in cooler) for a couple of hours, then pulled.
Here's the important part - I saved all the juice and refrigerated over night. Next morning there's a layer of fat on top of congealed broth. The broth has a ton of flavor on its own and it has some of the smoked dry rub in it. Liquid Gold! Removed the fat and saved broth for reheating.
I reheated for a family reunion with an electric roaster. Melted the broth then added meat. Didn't need any BBQ sauce. 20 lbs cooked weight disappeared in a hurry.SDA 2B-TL (Sonicap/Solen/Mills, Erse Super Q, Rings, Spikes, No-Rez)

No worries there, not a huge fan of mesquite except on open grill.
Will use oak and alder, with a little hickory

Tonight I'm doing up chicken drumsticks.
Got a good buy at the market at 89cents/lb on the 16-family pak.
Half rubbed with a mix of spices/seasoning, half marinating in Stubbs Citrus and Onion (with chopped garlic I added in).
Pasta side salad, green beans, seasoned fries and maybe a zesty bold CA Zin.

Pinot Noir Erik....Look for a Flowers in your local booze joint. Nice and light and smooth. Or another by Wright. Zins....I like Frank Family, East Branch, but a lot of budget ones are decent too.HT SYSTEM-

C'mon...really? No one is bbq'ing or grilling on this Holiday weekend?
Picked up 2 lbs of top sirloin I had my butcher thin slice for me to make some steak sandwiches.
Marinated the top sirloin, hot searing cook on the grill, along with some grilled onions, green/red bell peppers, served on a thick hoagie bun with oven melted provolone cheese.
Sides of potato salad, home made mac & cheese, maybe some token green beans to say we had some veggies.
Slosh it all down with a bold syrah!
Who else is keeping the 'flame' alive this weekend???

8 1/2 (after trimming) packer cut brisket, put on at 5:30 this morning, using lump charcoal, pieces of port soaked oak wine casks, and applewood. And there is Guinness in the drip pan (next to the firebox vent), evaporating for moisture and creating a heavenly smell with the apple smoke.
I most likely will be doing a version of the process used above with the pork shoulder..... some sort of foil wrap to get through the plateau. Making a homemade Texas style chipotle sauce, maple/bourbon/bacon baked beans, and the wife is making her homemade corn bread....
...and a cooler of various IPA's that has been on ice since yesterday....

Is the 'packer' cut just the flat or does it include the point as well?
8lbs - that's one big brisket!
When should I be over for dinner??
H9: If you don't trust what you are hearing, then maybe you need to be less invested in a hobby which all the pleasure comes from listening to music. -
well, at the rate it's cooking.... 3-ish??? and the first brisket I ever made was just south of 15 pounds.... this, more than likely, came off younger beef, and by the looks after cutting open the cryo, had been aging a while. Very pliable, and hoping for a very tender brisket.
Rub was granulated onion, granulated garlic, fresh ground pepper, kosher salt, ancho chili powder, paprika, chipotle powder, and brown sugar.... simple, but flavorful. I have basted twice with Guinness.
packer cut is the full brisket, flat and point.... my plan at the end is to separate the point and make burnt ends, and let the flat rest in a cooler for the extra hour it takes to make the ends.Polk Lsi9

1. Hickory
2. Pecan
3. Oak
I could live with that order.
Hickory is a great choice for an all around wood.
But I will 'mix things up' by combining say some hickory and apple when doing ribs.
And if I'm doing a tri-tip or a brisket, maybe mesquite.
