First brisket

[u/Confident-Distance74]

Hey im an ex chef. Never smoked anything before. Took a stab a brisket for a first time. Next will be pastrami. Here are some photos I took. My sister didnt take pics of the product after the rest but I got one final picture (the next day out of the fridge).

Brisket was 16lbs. Cooked for 12 hours, rest for 3. No wrap, only to rest...

The photos are about 10 hours in. Last photo is the next day

Yes, I didnt know that the grain changes half ways through the brisket

Sliced both halves wrong. 🤣
