Going against the grain here but this turned pout pretty good...tender and juicy: Fat cap up.

    Not much to tell...5.5 lb. grass fed. Thick hard fat cap. Coated with EVO, salt, pepper and a non-descript rub. Rolled tightly. Cooked at approx. 300° + for about an hour  a lb. Foiled at 180° with a half cup of apple cider. Therma pen reading was 198°-203° when it came off. Rested on counter approx. 20min. FTC for four hours.
    About the only significant thing was that it was fairly rectangular and relatively even in thickness.
    We bought a half beef from a local rancher and this was the second piece of brisket. The other was triangular in shape, triple thickness at one end and about 4 lb. Did it the same way but it didn't turn out as well, mostly because it only went to 198° or so. Still very edible, however.
    Full disclosure, I'm not a big fan of brisket...would rather spend my time cooking a chuck for pulled beef.  Or a butt for pulled pork. Or better yet pizza. =)

    Glad you got that rolled brisket cooked so well. I've tried two and neither looked as good as yours. Egg on @DWFII. Enjoy seeing what you pull of your refurbished egg.

    Thanks @SamIAm2 Maybe could have went 10 minutes more but I really have no complaints. I dedicate this cook to you and the several others who so generously helped me get an Egg together.
