I just did my first brisket yesterday and was tempted by just doing the flat (since I really just wanted some sliced brisket) but quickly was convinced by the folks here that a packer is the way to go. After cooking one, I see why!
As others have suggested, find yourself a packer and give it another try, I think you'll like the results.

I would like to offer up some sound advice like others here have but I have never ruined any meat I have ever cooked in my entire life.

Agreed. A 2lb brisket is pretty much only gonna be good for braising. None of the established popular methods will work for something that small and with that little fat.

The only thing I can tell you that may be of any value is, if you only want to cook small cuts of meat get a tri-tip and cook it like a brisket or grill it and leave the fat cap on.

Ah yes, the sound of meat going "klunk" as hit hits the bottom of the trash can.
