But since this is your first brisket, and since it didn't look appetizing to you, and since you WANT your wife to let you have it again... I would strongly suggest
NOT smoking it.
Waiting for gasps...
In my book, yet to be published of course, (joke if ya want) there is a chapter about your first brisket. I suggest doing the first brisket in foil in the oven for a reason... an educational one.
When you eat it you will love it. But this way is like learnin to draw before you learn how to sculpt.
You should have what they call a TEMPLATE IN YOUR MIND of what you want to target for as far as juiciness and texture. THEN START JACKING WITH FIRES, WOOD, RUBS, INJECTIONS :-?, FAT UP, FAT DOWN, FLIP, NO FLIP, SPLIT, NO SPLIT, REST NO REST....
Just so its official... I am a guy that BBQ's in a 1000 lbs smoker up to 150 lbs of brisket a week with nothing but wood. This is the first way you should fix your first brisket.
