The next day, Pre heat smoker to 250 degrees.
Place the brisket in smoker, for 2 hours.
After 2 hours, remove Brisket, wrap it up with heavy duty foil completely. Place back in smoker. Add the meat probe.
Continue smokeing until internal Temp is 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove Brisket, leave it in foil to rest for 30 minutes, this let's it absorb the juices.
Slice as you please, I try to slice as thin as humanly possible.
