I like that you use the probe test that's the way to do it my friend.

Have you considered after cooking it, just turn down your oven to as low as it will go. Usually about 170f. Then wrap it up after letting it sit for about 20 minutes to stop cooking, and put it in there for the rest time.
This has worked very well for me and it can be held safely for 20+ hours and never go into the temp danger zone.
And you're right about the taste, it gets better the longer the rest

Oh and it looks GREAT!!!!!

I know that is how they do it in Texas, and I can't deny it yields an awesome brisket; it is, after all, Aaron Franklin's method (that and Prime grade meat). I just can't resist a few other spices I know are great additions.

Money shot!

BAM!!!! That looks really really good.

And I had pizza for dinner.......

Ya know...4th of July is usually time to fill the freezer with brisket.
Love that stuff!

Aloha!

Mmmmmm. Brisket! One of the many things the South does so well, IMO.

I was in Texas on a business meeting about 7 years ago and stayed at that "Under the Dome" super hotel resort near DFW, The Gaylord Resort and Convention Center. There was a BBQ Sportsbar inside the dome that served the best Brisket. They even allowed me (upon special request) to order "Burnt Ends". Yum x 10.

Next time I'm on the Mainland in the south, it will be Brisket time. Hats off to you gents that prepare it on the grill. I've never tried. Yet.

Mahalo!

Oh the burnt ends!

I take those for myself!

As a general rule I prefer just salt and pepper for good meat. Anything else is to cover it up.

You guys who are real brisket-heads (and who isn't?), if you are ever in Upstate South Carolina, there is a place over in Pendleton (near Clemson University) called The Smokin' Pig that serves up the most mouth-watering, tender and smoky brisket I have ever tasted. People who know say it is better than Texas brisket-it is that good!

SC is a pork state when it comes to BBQ, thus some kind of pig name for many of the joints, but that one inexplicably serves beef. We hit it up anytime we are over that way fishing the Chatooga-otherwise that part of SC is even more depressing than the rest of it.

There are Smokin' Pigs in Easley, SC and Wiliamston, SC too.
Excellent barbeque pork and chicken - and brisket.
