A little Texas-style Christmas brisket is in store for dinner today.

Originally a 14.7 lb’er, I cut it in half, threw one half back in the wrapper and tossed it in the deep freeze and prepped the other half with kosher salt, black pepper and injected with beef broth.

It will be going on the smoker about 9:00 am.

Edit:

9 hrs 23 mins on the smoker
About 4.5 hrs in I had to add some charcoal.
Cooler rest time: 50 mins.

Nice, you are smoking what I consider to be the "good" half. This appears to be the half with the Point muscle in it, which to me is the best part of the brisket.

Merry Christmas and enjoy! :)

Resting in the cooler. Chow time is about 7:05 pm give or take a few minutes.

Pork N’ Beans and Potato Salad will be the other sides.

I’m starving!!!
 
Spoiled cat. Our RIP cat would have expected the same sample.

Never such thing as too deep scoring (unless you cut it in portions). I've even taken the Jaccard to the fat side and gone medieval on the brisket.
Great meal
