I purchased a 10# brisket this morning. It is twenty inches long, but my smoker is only twelve inches wide by twelve inches deep. I know, great planning[emoji]128544[/emoji]. Can I just cut it in half, or should I make the cut elsewhere?
it's a vertical brinkman charcoal, I've got two shelves.I think your best bet is cut by the were the flat meets the point,across the width. Sounds like a small smoker. Another good idea is notch the flat across the grain the way you will slice when finished.

Sounds good to me, thanks.Lots Of Different Opinions on this, I ave been in the exact same situation. Find a huge Brisket, get all excited till you are about to put it on and say " What was I thinking" ???
If it were me, not telling you this is right or wrong, but I would probably cut part of the Flat and leave as much of the Point and remaining Flat as I could fit on the rack, then you have a small flat too. Just me.
