Brisket smoke, 5/20/20

Just before meat got "scarce", my Mrs saw a brisket sale at Albertson's for $1.69/lb with additional $25 purchase.  We had just smoked some chicken and caught bunch of crappie, so this choice 11.3 pounder went into the freezer for a couple of weeks.  We thawed it out today, trimmed off about a pound and a half of fat, seasoned liberally with North Main All N 1, and onto the smoker about 10:30 am.  As usual we had to cut it in half due to our little bullet smoker.
After 7 1/2 hours in the smoker we had some nice looking meat.
Wrapped in foil and another 2 hours in the oven at 250 and we had a perfect product.  It's tender, smoky, moist, and the fat melts in your mouth.  Not too shabby for some $1.69 brisket that sat in the freezer for a couple of weeks.
