First time ever doin one marinated all night rub down this morning & put it on smoker bout 0730 hope it turns out ok

Never done one myself. Read about them a ton. What temp are you using and how long are you planning to smoke it?

Did you trim the fat cap at all and did you place it with the fat up or down?

It wasn't a whole brisket couldn't find one at my local groc stores it was just half the flat side I think its called it was bout 6 1/2 lbs cooked for bout 7 1/2 hrs at bout 250 degrees & let rest for about 45 min before slicing turned out pretty good

No trimming cooked with fat side up majority of the time did flip it once with meat side up for bout 2 hrs

I tried one years ago and it turned out a bit tough. I need to try it again since I've gotten more familiar with my BGE. They are excellent eating when cooked correctly.

I love brisket. I smoke mine at 225.

My brother does a great brisket. Not sure the weight he buys but usually he says he cooks them 10-12 hours. Very tender and great smoky flavor

Never tried brisket on the bge, I've got a whole one untrimmed 5.5 lbs. I plan on trimming the fat cap to an 1/8"

It's hard to regulate below 250 without constant monitoring so I'll go there. thinking I will indirect cook with drip pan. Placing fat cap down. Cook to 190 however long that takes. Wrap and place in cooler for a couple hours. Any good grillers out there I'm open to other idea's
