Super Dave hit the nail on the head with the two common mistakes with brisket.
My first couple attempts failed miserably. I went by temp rather than tenderness. I too use the toothpick to check when done.
Haven't tried the SV method yet. But I've read that you can actually achieve a tender, medium rare brisket.
I plan on cold smoking a flat for 4-6 hrs, vac seal, then SV @135* for 24 hrs. But that's gotta wait till after the holidays.
Gramps, post some pics of your PR. I'm sure it's going to be stellar.
