Brisket fat, when properly cooked, is indeed divine. Particularly the fat in the point.
*shivers* Oh man... The stuff I had was so good that um... I think I had something in my eye... and I've never even had the point. Can't wait.

For any of the "Lesser" BBQ folk like myself out there, THIS is the thread that helped me turn the corner in brisket smoking.

Thanks Big!

There are no lesser BBQ folks. I learned from others, and I am happy to help others learn everything I have learned. Heck, thanks to sites like this one (particularly this one), and the great folks here over the years, and even new faces, I still learn new things. It really is an amazing thing, in my opinion.

Thread is great, directions are great, 9 hours is too long for a 5 pound flat..... It was still quite tasty, just a bit dry for my taste, but it went well in a pot of grillin beans.

Tried a very small flat today--- 2.8lbs. Cooked between 250-275 (windy) with cherry and pecan wood with royal oak lump on my modified ECB gourmet. I cooked on grate for about 3 hours then foiled to 203. It was a little over done. Is it best to cook it on grate with no foil and just check for probe tender every 20-30 minutes after reaching over 180 internal or??? What is a normal range of internal temps for a brisket to be truly probe tender?

I'm confused by the fact that I disagree with the Great Bigabyte, but... I don't start probing for tenderness until 192* - 194*. If you open the lid every twenty minutes starting at 180* you're going to be checking for days. Am I missing something?

Once the fat has rendered, the temps climb much quicker. I have gone from almost there at 180 to 210 in 2 hours... what, I wasn't sleeping, pitmaster never sleep!

I always start at about 190° and seems like I've got to go a ways further.

That was truly an informative lesson on the basics of Brisket. I will KISS for my next try. My first was a bit dried out.
Thanks Again
