ok I will start this off by saying I mean absolutely no offense!

is the top burnt? I don't have a pellet smoker yet so I am being ignorant. I see a lot of photos where it looks burnt but the inside looks perfect and I am wondering if that is common? does it taste burnt?

That's the way a good brisket should look. And it will taste great.

And it has nothing to do with it being in a pellet smoker. It's just true BBQ.

It is not burnt. The color is from the smoke and spices.

It has that color all the way around the outside.

18 pounder that was one big hunk of meat. Did you use a crain to get it onto the grill Looks moist, flavorful and so good. Nice job FLBentRider !

I love good brisket and that looks top notch. Very nice cook.

thanks guys! felt bad even asking but if you don't ask you wont know!

I am going to tackle a 16lber this weekend!

Many, many years ago when I had a offset wood fired smoker, I was having a bunch of friends over for a BBQ. Two briskets, two pork shoulders, two turkey breasts, and some sausages.

The briskets had been on for close to 16 hours, and the pork shoulders for 8 to 10 hours and they had a great bark on them.

One of my friends looks in as I open the cover and he gets a real funny look on his face. I notice this and say, "Kind of looks like the remains from a plane crash doesn't it". Sorry, I have a warped sense of humor at times, but he just shook his head and walked away.

But he did love eating it.
