For example, the more you water your lawn, the faster it grows and the more it needs to be mowed. Hold off watering after fertilization and hold off fertilizing if heavy rains are expected. To reduce the possibility of having fertilizer wash into our water system, don't water heavily soon after fertilizing.
This is beyond well done for beef, but still too cool for a good brisket. Ultimately, you're looking for a temperature above 185 degrees F/85 degrees C, so once it reaches 175, it's time to wrap the brisket in a heavy layer of foil and remove it from the smoker.
Smoking the Beef Brisket. Take the brisket out of the refrigerator one to two hours before you want to put it on the smoker. Place the brisket fat side up on the smoker. The fat will render while cooking-it basically melts and releases oils into the brisket to help keep it moist while cooking.f you are cooking the brisket at a temperature between 225 and 250 degrees, pull it off the pit and put it in a cooler for 2 hours when the internal temp is 185. If you are cooking hot and fast (around 325 degrees F), which isn't discussed here, pull the brisket off the pit at 200 and put it in a cooler for 2 hours.
