Real Brisket

the last time i thought it was my first time it turned out to be corned beef and was good but still not brisket. this is small and cheap( and maybe not the best brisket) so i don't feel so bad if i screw it up lol. unfortunately i just decided a bit ago to do it tomorrow and it was in the freezer but i think it will thaw before i have to go bowling tonight so i can season it.

i have a few rubs around the house and also Jeff's Texas style and naked rib so I'mvery undecided on what is should/will use 
 
Cook as is, in my opinion.... However, I never smoke a partial brisket, so I could be wrong.
What are you coming this on? Temperature of smoker? Target temperature of the brisket?

first brisket and not cooking until tomorrow so still researching and taking recommendations lol. but so far the question is to wrap or not and i have never wrapped anything but the longest cook i have ever done is about 6 hours. I think im looking for IT of someplace between 190-200 as it seems all briskets are different and will let me know when its done. and if i decide to wrap it will probably be in the  170-180 range.

i cook with just a cheap offset stick burner so a cook this long is going to be a bear but like all the other cooks i will eventually win battle lol

Pull it when it is probe tender in the thickest part of the brisket. Most of my choice briskets are usually probe tender between 200 -205, but every piece of meat is different.
Make sure your tempture gauge is accurate.

Good Luck!
 
thanks on the tips and my temp prob is all i got so it will have to be what it is lol. well i actually have two so maybe use them both to see how close they are.
 
As far as slicing goes, make dang sure you slice across the grain--slice with the grain, and you may as well be chewing on rubber bands. Keep an eye out, as the grain changes part-way through, so follow that change. Slices should be half-inch or less. Good luck.
 
guess i should have marked it with a cut or something before i started. guess i will look for a slicing tutorial before i start lol
 
6.5 hours in and a IT of around 147 degrees so were making progress. The small piece fell off and was a bit of meat and some fat and that has now been ate lol

At the 8 hour mark I added a few burgers cause I'm getting hungry and it will be a few more hours of cooking the the rest. I will rub bring it inside to the oven once I wrap it cause it's 12 degrees and windy as hell her foday.
