Cook Time - 4.5lb Brisket?

[illini40]

Ive read through the recent posts about the smaller flats, but I'm not exactly settled on how much time I should plan for tomorrow.

I have a 4.5lb trimmed flat. What should I plan for?

Temps would likely be between 225-250. If I need to get it on before church, but not that high, I could run on the smoke setting (175-190) for a little bit.

Check out how Al handles a small Flat, advice from Al is damned good advice.
And he knows how to make a very good tutorial.

Roughly 1.5 hours per pound. Of course if thin and wide, it will go faster, squat and thick, 2"+, it may take longer...JJ

Following up to this post for reference. It took a little over 8 hours for this 4.5lb brisket.
