I've done 3 briskets on my pellet smoker. The first was a select (where I live I can't really be picky) and the flat was dry but the point was great.

Spoiler alert: I am a terrible photographer.

The first picture is my 2nd brisket. Second picture is my 3rd brisket...i screwed up cutting some of the 3rd because I tried something different and instantly regretted it.

The 2nd and 3rd briskets passed the knife/fork bend test so I was happy...I forgot to try it for my first because I was like a kid in a candy store with my first brisket a) on this smoker and b) in about 8 years.

If you're thinking there's a slight yellow tint it's because I cheat and use yellow mustard as a binder. My rub is just kosher salt & coarse pepper in equal parts (by weight) and its roughly a 1 to 2 ratio by volume. I also use an obnoxious amount of it because to me brisket is pepper-heavy. The last picture is the 1st brisket...it was a little too salty because I stupidly went half and half by volume and not weight on the salt and pepper.

So we were starving by the time we ate so I missed pictures of the whole thing. I think my wife might have gotten them and I'll post those if she did, but here's the resulting meats and cuts.

Really, you were starving when you anticipated serving dinner close to midnight? lol

I PULLED it off the pit after midnight. It rested another ~10 hours in an 150*F oven.

Benefit of the long rest method... You can eat when you're ready not when the food is ready. We were making sausage and had to get to a stopping point.

appreciate the updates! let us know how it progresses. oh and add more pepper to that
You were also correct... It did need more pepper. I thought the course ground stuff would be ok, but it was a little too course. I'll go a little finer next time and more coverage.
