First attempt at smoking a brisket

I heard somewhere that a man in his 30s will either become obsessed with fixing shit in his house or smoking meats. Smoking meats sounded like it aligned with my interests :marseycoomer2:

As luck would have it I found a reasonably sized brisket for a decent price. Gave it the ol' rub n' tug with spices and then got the grill ready. I have a nice Weber kettle grill and decided to use mesquite wood chips which I soaked and spread over the hot coals. Slapped my meat on the grill and spent the next 5 hours or so letting it do its thing at 250 degrees, wrapping it the last hour.

I think it turned out really good for my first go. Brisket was mayyyyybe a touch dry, but not too bad and really tasty. With winter coming around I think I found myself a good reason to stay outside and drink on those nice warmer days.
