Monitor rainfall. Don't water the lawn if rains are expected soon. Keep track of rainfall for the week. Don't apply more water to the lawn than what is absolutely necessary. The guide of about 1 of water per week is only a guide. If your lawn doesn't get that 1 of water, it's not going to die.
Youâll want to check the internal temp after 5 hours. It should be in the 160 to 170 range. At this temp, you want to pull the brisket off the smoker and place in an aluminum pan and add Â¼â of liquid (beef stock, apple juice, etc.) to the aluminum pan and APPLY MORE DRY RUB, then cover with aluminum foil.
Checking the Temperature While Smoking. To achieve the best results, I cook the beef brisket at 225 degrees for about 1 hour and 15 minutes per pound. The time per pound is strictly a guide and cooking times wil actually vary.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.
