So I went out shopping for a small brisket to smoke for Mother's Day and I happened across this monster. 19 pounds of pure choice beef. She went on the smoker for the overnight shift at 0800!

Ohh Sweet Mother Mary that looks good!
Where did you pick it up from?
Where did you pick it up from?
Mmmhmmm
Believe it or not, Wal-Mart. I never buy meat from there but I couldn't turn this down. $2.99 pound.
Sweet baby Jesus that looks great! I'm too scared of brisket. Even at 2.99 a lb the learning curve is steep haha
I've done many briskets but never one this big. Been smoking since 8:00 and my temp is still holding around 225-235 so it looks is good to go for the night.
Did you have to trim much? What kind of rig are you running? Momma should be happy with that present!
I didn't have to trim much, I like to keep a nice fat cap when I do brisket. I keep the fat side on top. I have a Oklahoma Joe Highland, my free smoker lol, earned some gift cards through our health plan and when I went to pick it up it was on clearance for $200.00 and all I had to pay was tax.
That's awesome! Thanks for the insight as well, much appreciated.
