Brisket (kinda of)

Bought a 5# brisket roast. Most of them were flats only but I found one with part of the point and flat. Just doing somewhat of a trial run before attempting a whole one. I trimmed most of the fat on the outside and seasoned with a light dusting of Meat Church’s Holy Cow and then S&P. Just put it on the XL at 250. Shout out to my lovely wife for surprising me with a new handle for my egg. My original one was looking pretty rough.

    Have fun with the cook.  As long as you nail the feel it will be good eats.
    Great handle right there. 
    BTW-for me I find the packer cooks to be easier to hit the finish line than a flat.  So, independent of the outcome of this cook grab a packer and go.  The price per pound is much less than a trimmed out flat.  FWIW-

    I've done this and it works well. Take it slow, watch it close, and give it plenty of time to rest FTC after you pull it.

    I’ve attempted this twice before. I think I relied on temp too much. Not easy for a Georgia Boy to make good brisket. Can’t wait to see how yours comes out
    You can’t get to Loganville, Ga from anywhere. You have to start somewhere else

    I’ve never nailed a small brisket cut before, but I’d like to. How’d it turn out?

    Took a lot longer to cook than expected. I was hoping it would be finished before my daughter’s birthday party and I was going to have it as an appetizer for the guys while I cook hotdogs. I ended up cooking 70 hotdogs indirect due to the brisket not being finished. Got busy with the party and didn’t get any finished pics. It turned out good. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. I just cut it into decent sized chunks/cubes and served it with our meal.
