5 hours into cook and I couldn't resist taking a peek. I am happy as hell with the looks and smell of this thing :D

Meat temp has been stuck between 160-165 for over an hour and a half. Target = 200 then double foil for 2 hours.

That is perfectly normal. Don't change a thing. It just means that the fat is starting to break down.

:00hour

Everybody chowing down. A little on the dry side but so tender it was falling apart and I had to make very think slices. I ate some on a Jimmy Johns sub roll with BBQ sauce, cole slaw and horseradish :0074

I am sorry that it dried out. Having the point piece on top may help avoid that. Not sure. Sometimes that happens. Maybe take it to 200 next time and see if that keeps it more moist.

I seriously don't think a apple juice spritz helps moistness. But that is just my opinion. Just seems apple juice helps with flavor but not moistness.

it looks really good .

I will get a green egg in the future and try all this stuff out.

Briskit seems to be the most difficult meat cut to cook imo.

When I get briskit from alot of BBQ places its a crapshoot if it will moist and juicy or kinda dried out.
