beerman,
I don't think you are going to cook a brisket rare. You better get some steaks. Briskets pull at 190-195.[p]Mike

beerman,[p] Unless you don't like your in-laws I'd do as Mike said. The Dome should be around 275 or so. Cook the brisket indirect. You are looking at 1-2 per pound depending on the fat content and amount of connective tissue.[p] Your cook time may be less if you are just cooking the Flat.

Yo beerman, (Why do I feel like I am talking to myself? Must be your handle....) I think I would take Car Wash Mike's advice and go with the steaks. You ARE wanting to impress the in-laws, right? And they like their beef rare? If this is the case, brisket may not be what they are looking for. A good brisket will be tender and juicy, but it won't be rare.[p]Another thing, brisket is not the easiest cut of beef to cook. Not many people nail a good brisket on their first attempt either. I would wait until you have a few brisket cooks under your belt before inviting company over to be impressed by your cooking skills.[p]If steaks won't work, why not try a tri-tip roast on the Egg? A tri-tip is easy to cook and your guests will get that rare beef that they want. I hope this helps.[p]Lager,[p]Juggy D Beerman

Sheesh Juggy, when I read that post from beerman I thought it was just you trying to get some brisket tips....Heheeee[p]Seriously, good advice from one beerman to another.[p]~thirdeye~

Yo thirdeye, I was wondering how many other people thought that was me posting brisket questions. Even though I have been cooking briskets for 20+ years, I will still read any tips I can on cooking a better brisket. LOL[p]Yeah of all the cuts of meat there are to cook, I think brisket is the toughest to master. My New Year's resolution is to cook two every two weeks so I can practice up for next year's contest season.[p]Holiday Beers to you thirdeye,[p]Juggy
