Got this 10lber on the grill a little before 07:30. Enjoyed a Davidoff Winston Churchill Traveler.

Got it wrapped up in pink butcher paper with a Crux Ninfamaniac.

Pulled it off the grill while it was probing ~200° just after 20:00, then out of the cooler at 21:00. It's got a pretty smoke ring (Texas post oak), good bark, great flavor…but it needed either more time on the grill or more time in the cooler. Was absolutely edible, but didn't quite get to that pull-apart, tender, juicy stage. Unfortunately the family just couldn't wait any longer. Anyway, it was my best effort yet. And thank goodness brisket prices have fallen. First one I tried was over $90 for 13-14lbs. This 10lber was only $35. I can afford to learn and experiment at that price.
