Made my first brisket today, have to say it was pretty great! Tender, good smoke, fat rendered nicely. Overall good experience. 3 of us finished the 2 lb flat. Injected with a beef broth, worchestire, and Tabasco. Homemade rub, smoked for about 2 hours on 250 then wrapped with a couple tbsp of the injection for 3.5 more hours.

    @dldawes1 the brisket was fantastic! It had great smoke flavor, the smoke ring wasn't huge but I think that's because the brisket was so small (2lbs and I wrapped halfway through). Overall was stoked with the results... Will be making again now with a bigger size brisket, and inevitably more guests.

    @NPHuskerFL  you're absolutely right! Can't wait to do a whole brisket.

    @bhedges1987 it was small, but next time will have to have more than 3 people to take on an 8-10 pounder!
