Yup I got a flat piece from tesco at around £11 for 1.5kg. They also have the full brisket vac packed but it is around 3.5-4kg and £20-£22 or so! Seeing as I wasn't sure how this one would turn out, I just played it safe and got the small flat. It was extremely lean as you can see in the photos...
Definitely, the fat was almost non-existant. Will probably smoke the full brisket next time (the vac packed ones) as these looked like they had a much much better fat cap etc.
Thanks all for the lovely comments, my girlfriend loved it so I guess it's thumbs up for now!
OK final diagnosis time.
1.574 kg (3.6lb) - 7:30 hours to smoke.
Brisket was lovely and tender - a bit drier than I had hoped, but I did guess this would happen as I didn't inject it and foiled it fairly late. Good to know for next time.
Great colour on this
On the board for chopping...
