This is the first brisket that I have ever done so my expectations were kind of low and I was just hoping that I would not dry it out. So, after reading numerous articles I decided to smoke the brisket at 225 degrees with some hickory and cherry wood until the internal temperature reached 190 degrees.
I marinated the brisket for several hours and then applied my rub on the brisket liberally. Once the brisket hit the desired internal temperature I removed the brisket and wrapped it in press and seal and placed the brisket in the bottom of the refrigerator drawer (thanks DJ). Once I removed the brisket from the refrigerator drawer and opened it up the brisket seemed to have kept almost all of its moisture. The brisket was excellent and much better than I expected and yes it was very moist, even the ends.
