Adjust vents as needed to maintain an internal temperature of 230°F to 240°F.
• Place brisket, fat side facing up (if there is a thicker portion of brisket, face it towards the coals), on grates over the side without the coals. Smoke, covered, until a thermometer inserted in thickest portion of meat registers 190°F, 8 to 9 hours, flipping brisket once during final 2 hours cook time and replacing coals if grill temperature begins to drop.
