Hi, new to the board
Hi everyone. I am new to this forum just wanted to say hello. I am fairly new to the Green Egg world, just got my first (a large) a few weeks ago. Been cooking on it like crazy, but still working out some kinks. I come from an old school, upright charcoal type smoker, so having the egg is awesome!
Anyway, I work in the beef business so if anyone has any beef related questions feel free to ask me and I will answer the best I can.

Welcome aboard! I use to be a senior poster but have fallen off, but I am back. I have a beef related question. I bought a Choice brisket yesterday from my favorite butcher. I want to season it with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper and garlic powder and wrap it in plastic wrap an keep it in fridge over night. Then I will unwrap it, put it on drying rack and put it back in fridge for 8 hours. Will this be okay? then cook it overnight low and slow until 190. Does that sound right?

@tays44 - welcome to the land of chaos - for every question there are at least four or five very good answers, all different and all that work. You never work the kinks out, that's all part of the fun...Enjoy!Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

The way your handling it should be fine. Useless knowledge, but the brisket muscle supports a large portion of the animals walking/standing weight as they don't have collar bones. That benig said, you can pretty much do anything you want to a brisket during prep....it is already tough as it is. The key to any good brisket is to take your time and not get in a hurry. 190* is a good temp to reach. Similar to a pork butt in that you want to cross that temperature threshold where the internal fat fully breaks down.

And, welcome to Eggland. The Egg is a great cooker, and will help make really good food with a bit of practice. I'll suggest that you should forget methods you developed w. other kinds of cookers. For instance, ceramic cookers really do reduce moisture loss from meats, so having a pan w. water is pretty much a waste of heat energy.
Happy cooking!
