Small Brisket

in Beef
Just bought a 2.5 lb brisket from the local market. I wanted to go small for my first one, I've had really good success with the rest of my meats, but a little afraid of the brisket because it can be a wee bit expensive if I mess it up. I'm thinking of some basic rub and let it run at 250º. I'm planning on using it for sandwiches and such nothing fancy. Any suggestions?

I'm guessing a flat cut. Let me preface the rest of this with the fact that I have hosed up more flats (single or a strike-out) than (doubles or better-baseball reference) success. But I never did the boil or foil process so that may have compounded my lack of success.
All that said, I would run til around 160-170*F internal then foil and juice (inject) with a few ounces of beef broth cut with worcestershire. If you don't have a juice gun then foil wrap with the same concoction tossed in-fat side up now and run til around the low 190's*F. Remove from the foil and then on to the grid to reset the bark. Go til it probes tender "like buttah".
BTW-give the search function a look as I'm sure there are better choices than above-but the above should give you a solid result. FWIW-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -
Update, it's been on for 3.5 hours and hit 160º. Going to foil with broth now.
