Newbie here and have questions, help please.

Hi all, Am kinda new to smoking, built me an off set and what ever I did I seem to have got it right. Lol. Have fallowed lots of advise from here and all has turned out great! Thanks!
Now here is my questions, I thought I would try to do a brisket monday for my mom, 83 years old and never had anything but the trukey I smoked for her on thanksgiving, any ways I decided not to use the side smoker cause I just got a small brisket for the 2 of us, 3.22 lbs. so I bought a ecb for $5.00 and did all the mods as decribed in here, seems to work ok.Kept it at 200-225 for 2 hours with just 2 or 3 lbs of used charcoal. So here is where I need help, was reading on line that you shouldn't try n smoke a brisket under 6lbs, it will just dry out becaus so small, is this true? did I waste my money? If it can be done to be tender and good can any of you help me out and tell whats the best way to do it? PLEASE. Thanks and you all have a great holiday!

Thanks for the quick replys, no its not corned beef, ya probly a flat, it does have any where from 1/4" to about 1/16" of fat all across one side n marbled pretty good on the other. would soakin it in some marrinade help with moister? Also weatherman says windy with cust up to 50 mph, I know its gonna be harder then heck to keep a steady temp, do you all think making a skrit around the bottem to keep the wind out will help? Thanks T.

Thanks all! will let you know how it turns out, can't wait!

Just wanted to let you all know how it turned out. had a heck of a time with the temp, think I used to much charcoal cause it was just smoldering, couldn't seem to get enough air in it, finally took out the water pan and that got me up to 250, took out a chimmny full of charcoal and there she was. any how no pics but it turned out pretty good for my 1st, the bark? guess thats what you call it was way hard, I mean HARD, but after you got through it, oh my! Tender n juicy, could barely cut it, it just fell apart. Thanks again for the info and help. Mom loved it!
