I decided to try and do a beef brisket this weekend. I went to wal-mart and bought the only brisket they had in the meat case. (Made the selection process very easy) It is a 13.8 pound specimen. My question is Could I cut the brisket in half and smoke the two 7lb pieces together and cut the smoking time down?
I live in a town of row homes with small back yards...I am guessing that If I fire up my smoker at O dark thirty somebody will report a smoke smell/fire to 911 and Many of my friends and neighbors will be responding with at least 4 fire engines, 1 ladder truck and a Mack Areialscope with lights and sirens a blazing.
The second idea is smoking the brisket from 8am till dark and finishing it in the oven.
Any other suggestions?
