Will do Tim. Biggest thing with brisket is it needs a low heat. I usually smoke around 175 to 200 degrees for 14 hours. Also it needs to stay moist so I use a mop sauce in concert with a good dry rub. For smoking I use either hickory or mesquite for brisket. Also a good fat cap is needed. Typically 1-2 inches thick. I smoke fat side up so as the fat melts it goes into the meat and flavors it and keeps it moist. Then let it rest for at least 15 minutes to lock in the moisture and the flavor.
This is some pics from the first brisket I did.
With the dry rub on.
The mop sauce
Just before one of the moppings to keep it moist.
Letting it rest
And one of the first slices after 14.5 hours of smoking.

Excellent. Nice smoke ring. You will have to send me the recipe.

Will do Tim. I used a basic dry rub recipe I found on the internet and added to it to suit my taste better. The mop sauce I also found on the internet and tweaked it. The mop sauce also calls for a 12 ounce beer. Bought a 16 ounce Sam Adams Octoberfest for that and used what I needed and drank the rest. When I smoked the brisket I also did some baked beans in the smoker as well as smoked corn on the cob.

The mountains where killer with an 18K total weight. What made it worse was it was a bumper pull.

bet the scales werent fun lol... i still havent decided if i want a tag or a 5th.. both seem to have their advantages and disadvantages... people seem to like 5ths for backing up to park with and supposedly more stable to pull..
the tag alongs can spread the better with distribution hitches.. and if ya broke down more likely to find someone able to pull it somewhere..

Id go with a Gooseneck if it were me. Doesnt take up all the room in the bed and handles better than a tag. Also easy to backup. Can pull as much as a 5 though, but still gets you up to 20,000 or so which is plenty for most people. The reason I have the tag is I dont own a truck with a bed and dont want to limit myself. Id hate to have a trailer I couldnt pull.
