Okay, I stopped by Sam's tonight and pick up a 5 lb flat. That should be a good size for a first time.
I also picked up 2 12lb Boston butts at $1.58 a pound, so next weekend is taken care of.
I'll start a new thread Saturday with pics of the smoke.
Thanks again everyone!

Thanks for all the encouragement and advice guys. Unfortunately, I' ve hit a roadblock. Apparently none of the grocery stores in town carry briskets.All I can find are these little pink corned briskets, I don't think that's what I want. I guess I'll try to get out to Sam's Club tomorrow and see...
Hey Guys,
I'll be smoking my first brisket this weekend, hoping to get answers to a few basic questions:
I keep reading about flats, packers & tri tips. Can someone explain what they are and what is recommended for a first timer?
Also, can someone explain burnt ends to me?
I came across...
I've got pork butts nailed, I've done 4 since Christmas. I had one 4 pounder take 11 hours, but I found out my internal probe is way off.
Didn't mean to hijack yer thread Whistlepig, we seem to be in the same boat!
Great, now I'm afraid of briskets. Is there an advantage to cooking a large brisket in one piece, as opposed to cutting it in half so it will cook faster?
I need my beauty sleep and I'm not too keen on pulling an all-nighter unless absolutely necessary.

Done! I deem this meat fit to eat.
very tender and tasty. The jus, however seemed, kind of overpowering and a little salty. Since I didn't put any salt in it
I guess its from the canned beef broth. Oh well, still a great meal.
