I purchased my WSM 9 months ago and have missed only a few weekends since. So have a fair amount of experience, but have so far avoided brisket. I didn't like the high price of the large briskets offered at my local market and was not interested in an overnight smoke. While perusing the meat...
You've probably figured this out, but you just need to leave the stems/end caps on. This makes a little boat to contain your fillings. When you place the ABT's in the smoker just set them "keel" side down. Happy belated birthday Alicia!
As a diabetic following a low carb diet I make mashed cauliflower all the time, I often add cooked zucchini to the mash. Another idea I have just discovered is to make potato salad substituting lightly cooked cauliflower for the potatoes. Chops look yummy!

I have experimented with making burnt ends out of chuck roast which is from the shoulder as are beef CSR's. The texture may be different but they still taste really good. I would, however, question starting with a thin strip of meat, it may dry out too much with the extra smoking.
I put a pan underneath to catch the drippings, with red bell pepper, celery and beef broth. When the chuckie hits 160 IT I transfer to a covered roaster with a rack to keep the meat out of the juices. I usually pull the beef. I strain out the peppers(the celery is mush at that point) and de fat...
