I've cooked about 5 brisket flats before and thought I batted about .250.. I was never that impressed in the end. Given the crowd we had at the house Sunday I decided a full packer was the way to go.
Use an off the shelf rub (can't remember the name) and added a little more black pepper.
Started it at 1 am and finished about 2:00 pm. Did some light mopping about 4 times with a mix of Angelos BBQ sauce and Sam Adams Oktoberfest beer. The angelos is very runny which worked well as I don't like thick bbq sauce at all. Internal temp never got above 194 but it stated in the 185-194 range for a loooong time. Probe tested and it was like butter.
This full packer was BY FAR the absolute best I've cooked. As soon as I cut in to it I was giddy..
Now to find a way to make just a flat turn out right...
