Do a whole packer, Takes longer but more beverages takes care of that!
Besides, it's ALL good. Do double smoked(that's chopped or cubed Flat part) for burnt ends and cool and slice the point thinnly for Sammies. Done right, ( and it's not THAT hard), you'll have a piece of heaven on your plate.
Figure about 1.5hrs/lb. for cooking time(for 220*F), a good wood or favorite heat source,a Buddy or someone you can tell tall stories to,watch your temps. Before you know it you'l have a feast and some more friends!
Oh, and when you put the Brisky on, close the lid and LEAVE IT CLOSED until about an hour before predicted time or a temp of 190*to 200*F is attained (with a probe themometer in the CENTER of the thickest part of the meat- also don't be sticking it but ONE time and leave it in-you know ,like a digital therm.)
No mopping needed or no foiling, You'll get a great bark for those tasty crunchies(the real brunt ends).
