I have heard so much about how good brisket is, so I bought one this weekend to try. I tried to search some of the threads but it looks like they are no longer available. Please help!

How big? Whole packer or just the flat? What are you cooking on?

Hopefully the Mods will move this up to the General BBQ forum where more people will see it.
 
I have done lots of flats with great consistant result. On the smoker fat side down ( to protect from heat coming from bottom) @235° until the temp hits 165°-170°. Then double wrap in foil with some beef broth mixed with some BBQ sauce. 1/4 cup total. Cook until the temp is 190°-195° or until its fork tender. (That is when it feels like the fork is going into soft butter.) Then wrap with several towels and into a dry cooler, fat side up, for 2 hours minimum 4 is actally better.

Slice and enjoy. This method was promoted by none other than Jim Minion so you know it's good.
