      It was one of the very first recipes I tried from the forum, shortly after receiving my first BGE.  

      If you don't know any better and read the first page of comments, you'd walk away thinking "why not" ?

      If I recall correctly it came out OK. Nobody went home hungry.  Of course, they were all related to me, so...

      When this first hit the forum the only reasonably priced briskets I was working with were flats.  Needless to say I learned a lot with those cooks.  As I recall thru the fog of time, I substituted a flat and did not toss into the braise until thru the stall ( figured another option to keep it moist).  Turned out okay but I thought too salty ( blaming the Allegro).  It was a "one-off" like some test runs of various brands of lump.  Judgement comes from experience, experience comes from poor judgement.  FWIW-

      How do y’all think this will work on a choice flat?  Should I even bother?

      If it is a flat try Travis style, in my opinion flats do not have enough fat and tend to be very dry.
