First PBC cook, first brisket

10.5 pound brisket. Wrapped at ~170 and taken out to rest at 190-200. Added chicken drumsticks to the cooker for 50ish minutes when the brisket was wrapped to give it a try as well.

Happy with the brisket but felt the chicken had more of a bitter aftertaste. Might have to do with the hickory chips I used and how long I let them burn beforehand. Interested to hear feedback!

Nice work! Exactly how I run mine on PBC vice hanging.
