Home leave is special leave earned in one-day increments (rather than hours like annual or sick leave). In most of Europe, eligible employees earn home leave at the rate of 5 days per year. An employee must have served continuously at least one 24-month period at an overseas post before home leave can be used. Home leave must be taken in the U.S. or its territories or possessions. Home leave may only be used if the employee will return to duty at an overseas area.
If 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.
Add your brisket to the smoker. General rule of thumb is to smoke for about 1.5 hours per pound of brisket. Your time may be a little less or more. Add more wood chips to keep a good smoke going at least for the first 6 hours. I add every 2 hours.rmadillo Pepper shows you how to smoke a brisket using an electric smoker. Electric smokers are simply the easiest to use. Generously cover your brisket with your seasoning in the night before and place in the refrigerator. For this brisket we use 4 Rivers Smokehouse Brisket Seasoning.
