Brisket challenge

Ok all, here's the challenge.
I have a small (5.5lbs) choice brisket (flat) that I have to cook for an impromptu neighborhood cook off.
What would be your approach for ensuring it turns out good? Throw it in and hope for the best? Smoked for a few hours and wrap with broth?
I know it really is up to the meat but want to ensure I don't mess it up.
Thanks!

I would dry brine to try to keep as much moisture in it as possible.Pittsburgh, PA. LBGE

I would hit the search function here or thru google, read a few threads and decide which way you want to go.

I would put it in the freezer and go pick up a prime packer at Costco. Unless the challenge includes that specific piece of meat.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Grind it up for burgers and add short rib meat to it. Or, if you have to cook that particular cut, I'd inject it w/ the Meat Church Holy Cow Brisket injection. Let the MSG help retain some moistureMilton, GA

My neighbor made me a deal this week- I'll go by two briskets, cook one for me for my party and keep the other. Easy enough right.
Me- go to HEB and buy this brisket and this size- AND Look for the Wagyu theyve had recently
Neighbor- I went to RD and bought (2) 9# briskets
Me- um those are really small, especially after you trim them
Neighbor- Brings them over last night seasoned.
Me- why did you season the 2nd one? I wasnt sure I wanted it cooked yet.
Neighbor- oh... also I watched a youtube video on trimming. One of them came apart at the point from the flat.
Me (This AM)- Opens Covered Foil Pan and sees what appears to be two racks of ribs.
Me (@ 3 hours into cook after checking remote temp)- Texting neighbor- these are going to be done way before I thought they were.
This is (2) "Briskets" on a LGBE.
This is now the 3rd time he got the raw brisket in a way I asked him not to. Next time he asks I'll just saying give me the $60 and I'll take care of it.XLBGE, LBGE, Charbroil Gas Grill, Weber Q2000, Old Weber Kettle, Rectec RT-B380, Yeti 65, Yeti Hopper 20, RTIC 20, RTIC 20 Soft Side - Too many drinkware vessels to mention.

Just Vote- What if you could choose "none of the above" on an election ballot? Millions of Americans do just that, in effect, by not voting. The result in 2016: "Nobody" won more counties, more states, and more electoral votes than either candidate for president. -
Time for a new neighbor or let him tend the BGE for an all-night brisket cook after you have it dialed in. Talk about watching paint dry.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.
