    Yo egger, I like your handle. :~)[p]I've never cooked a brisket that small and I would be concerned about the flat getting too dry before it was done. Try laying bacon over the top..... or with one that small, I don't see why you couldn't wrap the whole thing in bacon... cook indirect with a grate temp of 250 for about 1.5-2 hours per pound. It could cook much faster.
    When it reaches around 185-190 internal check for tenderness with Nature Boys probe trick.... which is to insert the probe and if it moves in and out like butter, it is ready. Jim M suggests not taking them past 200 internal.
    Pull it off, wrap in foil... can add a little broth if you like, seal tight, wrap in towels and let it set for an hour or more in a cooler and you should be good to go.
    Good luck and I'd be curious to hear how it turns out.[p]WD
