First Brisket - To brine or not to brine?

Hello everyone,
I am preparing to cook my first brisket top (not a whole brisket) in the BGE.
The question I have for fellow EGGheads is should it be brined before cooking?
If so, for how long and what is a good brine recipe?
Thanks!

I've never seen anyone here recommend brining a brisket. Injecting, yes. In any case, my suggestion is to keep it as simple as possible the first time."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike
