I just finished cooking my first brisket.

My local meat market had 3 to choose from and all were frozen. I picked a 7 pound trimmed one. It looked to be a flat to me. I saw nothing that looked like a point.

I started it about 11:30pm last night in my WSM. I cooked until about 11:30am the next morning. It got to 190F internal temp. The instant read thermometer when in with little resistance.

I cut it up about 2/3 slices and 1/3 chopped up.

Tried a a bit with some store bought sauce that was in the fridge and it tasted good.

After cooking I wrapped the brisket in foil and put into a cooler for 2 hours. Then I sliced 2/3 and chopped 1/3. I couldn't eat until later, because of errands I had to run with the kids.

I just reheated some of the chopped with sauce and ate it on a potato bun. It was tasty!

Next time I'll put more black pepper and chili pepper in the rub. Needs a little more spicy.
