Give the search function here a look and you will find more information than you can digest regarding brisket. Linked here is a thread that contains many ways to cook the cow.
Memorial Day Weekend Brisket Cook: Who's with me? Rules are simple.... Remember the cow drives the cook.
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. -
What @lousubcap said.
Large BGE, Small BGE, KJ Jr, and a Cracked Vision Kub.

Any idea on time per pound and do I use kosher salt
-
Updated - 19lb brisket - After Trim sown to 15lbs
Any guide to go by for cook time would be great!!!
Going for a 225 temp
-
I'd cook it at 250. Have seen a fair number of posts on here where that size of a brisket cooked that low seemed to take a lot longer than folks expected.
This being said, I'm a long, long way from being able to claim any expertise cooking briskets...LBGE (still waitin' for my free T-Shirt), DIgiQ DX2 (In Blue, cause it's the fastest), Heavy Duty Kick Ash Basket, Mc Farland, WI.
If it wasn't for my BGE I'd have no use for my backyard... -

Thanks for the input guys - I've read the previous forums was just looking for any new input.
Just applied the rub - 50/50 kosher salt and fresh ground pepper (wrapped it and forgot the dang photo..LOL)
Thinking about starting around 9-10pm tomorrow night, hoping to take off for a 1-2hr rest at around 2pm or so.

Here's another question - Do I separate the point from the flat before I let the flat rest in the cooler. Or do I let rest as a whole for an hour then separate for the burnt ends?
-
Also - what type of wood is recommended
-
Some folks say oak is the wood to use for brisket. Frankly I'd just use what you like, I don't think you can go wrong (unless you use pine). For me it's a equal amounts of hickory and applewood.LBGE (still waitin' for my free T-Shirt), DIgiQ DX2 (In Blue, cause it's the fastest), Heavy Duty Kick Ash Basket, Mc Farland, WI.
