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.
The brisket I'm doing for the instructable here is only about 4 pounds. I usually do an 8 lb brisket and so it is on the smoker for at least 8 hours. Sugar will turn into an almost hard candy shell over your brisket.Pepper burns and turns bitter when you cook it that long.Put a light coat of yellow mustard Put the brisket on fat side up.ime to maintain your smoker at correct temperature for at least an hour per pound of brisket. Note: I should explain that in several of the pictures there is a brisket at the top of the frame, and 2 pork spareribs at the bottom of the frame.
