First brisket

very nice!  What did you wrap with?  foil, butcher paper?

Aluminum foil. I do think I'll season a little more heavily next time for more flavor. Always room for improvement.

Looks great man, nice 1st go!  I need to try and find a small one like that.  always difficult to risk $ on a normal sized one and have it not turn out well, and be much more than family can eat being only 4 of us.

Costco sells just the flat and they’re usually in the 7 pound range. Their full briskets are typically about 16 pounds.

The trick to brisket is to get some of the seasoning inside the meat.  Either salt/pepper (a little heavy) and leave in fridge overnight, or inject is what I usually do.
