    Pulling temps may be higher then you’d guess 205+internal to be done 

    braising in a pan is nice after a couple hrs of smoke

    Are you looking to slice it? 1.5 lbs is small so watch temps carefully- the other option would be to braise it in the egg. 

    Or my favorite make it into pulled beef.  If you want to go this route it needs to cook over 205 to pull easily (as mentioned above)

    Slicing would be fine . Just need a quick dinner idea for tomorrow . I’m not familiar with braising

    If you are going to slice I would take to 130 or so depending on your preference. 

    Slice thin against the grain. 

    Either a dry rub or I would likely put in some kind of marinade with a citrus component. 

    Is it thin or more rounded? If thin I would go hot and fast, if more of a chunk go lower temp (275-300) so you can get the middle cooked without burning the outside
