1st time- Beef Brisket... tips please

ColAngus

I have a 2.3 lb beef brisket I got from the Fresh Market. I've looked at a number of recipes but found this one on the BGE website, which looks pretty straightforward: http://biggreenegg.com/recipes/beef-brisket/.

Instead of the homemade rub, I'm gonna use Dizzy Dust... is that OK?

Also, I'm so used to smoking butts via Mickey's turbo method. Is there any similar method that can be used for beef brisket?

Thanks!

Is that supposed to be a 23lb brisket?. A 2.3lb brisket(flat) is tiny.

It's 2.3 lbs. It's about 12" long... here's a pic:

That is a small flat I don't usually do anything that small, because they can be a little tricky.  I think others have gone a couples hours of smoke or till it gets to 140 in temp then put it in a foil pan with liquid like coffee to keep it moist.  You could try @travisstrick method that he originally posted in 2012.
 Here is is.  http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1138233/brisket-how-i-do-it/p1

BGE on there website has some recipes as well like Dr. BBQ's here; http://biggreenegg.com/recipes/dr-bbq-coffee-brisket/

Good luck.
