Well, 9hrs. later, here it is!
I cut the point off the brisket, and threw it back in till the fire dies(gonna' do some cheese too)
The brisket came out good, but kind of dry #-o
The ribs, perfect!
I was kind of disappointed at the thickness of the flat, cut at least 2 inches of fat off of it!

The big baby is done, but she is one tough little bitch to cook :!:
 
Looks pretty good to me. Nice smoke ring on the Brisket. The ribs look good too. The Brisket may have dried some if you left the salt on when you refroze it. Salt is a preservative and will dry out the meat.

It did look a little dry, (maybe some gravy would help it), but a nice smoke ring. Now those ribs, man they look fantastic!
I guess i have alot to learn #-o
Especially about gravy 8-[
 
Basically I just add some water to the drippings; the amount depends on how strong of a taste you want. It also affects how thick it is, but you can adjust that by heating your water/dripping mixture, and adding cornstarch mixed with a little water to make a paste (this prevents the corstarch from clumping in the gravy). Heat up the water/drippings to a boil in a saucepan, add cornstarch, and stir until it thickens (a couple minutes). Wait before adding more cornstarch if it seems to thin; otherwise you may end up with gel. Sorry I can't be more specific about amounts; I will try and pay attention the next time I make it and give you more of an actual "recipe". It's just like making gravy for a Turkey.

All "kidding aside" thanks Chris, real bummed out about the brisket :-(

Dont feel bad I have runined about 3-4 briskets by under cooking them. In fact the only good one have done was the last on.
