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.
Q: Sir, Do you have a best guess on how long a 8-10 lbs brisket at 200-225 will take to get done. I was thinking about 1 hour per pound. Is this close. thank you! A: You can usually figure about 1.5 hours per pound at 225 degrees for brisket, pork shoulder and other larger pieces of meat.Several things can affect this time such as wind, temperature and how often you open the door of the smoker.: You can usually figure about 1.5 hours per pound at 225 degrees for brisket, pork shoulder and other larger pieces of meat.
