I received several great suggestions yesterday on smoking small 4# brisket flats that were grass fed and extensively trimmed. Thanks DLR, Toast, JeffM827, Ninja and Landarc.
As my pRon will show, I didn't Fark this one up! It turned out really well, even though I was a little worried about drying it out. It probably could have cooked another 1/2 hour in the foil or butcher paper.
I utilized an unorganized Ring Of Fire on the Performer with a little pecan. I actually used a 2-1-1-1 approach, 2 hours uncovered to about 155*, 1 hour with foil and beef broth/ & Worcestershire followed by 1 hour in butcher paper. The kettle ran between 250-300 depending on wind, fuel arrangement and me opening up to check on things. I also had a 1 hour rest.
I took six slices up to the lady that had the briskets. She ate 4 slices while I talked with her and probably finished the rest off after I left. She told me I could have all of the briskets from her beef when they are processed. HOME RUN!

Missed the uncovered pic, so on with the foil.

Butcher paper wrapped and on with the asparagus.
