noob question

[Newglide]

I recently got an Old Country Picos and did my first smoke on it a few weeks ago.
It was a short cook, chicken and pork tenderloins.

I plan on doing another this weekend.
I'm going to do a couple of racks of ribs which I feel comfortable with.

Question I have is I have a small ( 1 1/2 Lb) Brisket flat the wife picked up somewhere.
Is that too small to smoke? I'm wondering if since it's so small will it get much smoke or a decent bark?
I doubt it will take it very long to cook.

Sounds like you are off to a good start. I’d definitely hit that little brisket flat with some smoke just don’t let it dry out. Don’t forget we like seeing pics!

Some folks will smoke til IT of 165ish degrees then pan with liquid foil covered til done .

No, not too small to smoke.

Welcome to SMF!

Exactly what smokin peachey said!

Small or large it takes a long time to break down the tough fibers in brisket so plan on 6/8 hours unless you turn it up to 350 and go hot and fast, in which case it may come down to 4 hours.
Hot and fast will also insure more bark and smoke flavor.

For those smallish flats, I swear by SmokinAl 's method.

Somebody, think might of been Jake had a way of doing those flats. Been some time ago. I could not find it.

Here the link. No wonder could not find it. Was searching Jakes.

BRISKET FLAT, MY WAY

It's no secret that a lot of folks have a problem smoking a small well trimmed brisket flat. I to had my struggles for a while, but a couple of years ago I found this method and have been using it ever since. So I would like to share my method with all of you. If you already are successful...

Thanks all.
Looks like I have a plan now.
I'll see how I do with Al's method.
I'll put up some pics of the cook.

 

[Newglide]

Thanks for the tips. Smoker ran clean and wanted to settle in between 240 & 250. Did Al's method minus the injection since I don't have an injector. I pulled it a little soon so it was a little tuff. Ribs were great
