You're off to a good start. My experience is to sear then smoke.
 
Won't searing limit how much smoke the meat will absorb?  I've never seared a brisket.  I agree with Mrs. B.  Sear a couple of them.
 
I decided to sear, reason is that I am going to make it two and two later, fitting 4 packers in there of 15lb each is virtually impossible.

this will cut my cooking time in half more or less.  The wife will give me a big block gas smoker from bass pro shop next week for fathers day(yes late but its better than never hehehe) so this way I wont run into these issues with space.

Wow, this is something new to me. Can you please explain how searing will cut your cooking time in half?

 after a 14 hr all nighter i'd like to figure this one out.7 hrs is alot easier than 14

well I know it by smoky okie method, look it up around the forums, basically you sear the brisket put it in the smoker, smoke it fat side up for two hrs, one on the other side then cover the aluminum pan with foil and cook it untill its 200 on the inside and get ready to be surprised.  tender and  great flavor..not to say...moist on the inside like you have no idea.

here the last pics, long weeken smoking almost 60 lbs of meat, everything went well.

ready to pull out
