@sketchi saw you called brother sorry I was sleeping. Please tell me that’s not a full packer brisket and you cut it in half
If it’s just a flat yes go ahead and cut it in half or what ever
if it’s a full packer brisket watch this video and it will show you how to trim and separate the point (super fatty juicy yummy part) from the flat (less fatty, easier to dry out but still yummy part
Once you determine that and got your hard fat trimmed off and are ready to cook. The night before I inject mine with Around one cup low sodium beef broth, Then I rub it with Oakridge BBQ black ops brisket rub. Lots of guys swear buy a simple salt and pepper rub too if you don’t have time to order rub.
I start mine out at 225 and pull at 205° internal. If you are running short on time you can turn it up to 250° to help it along alittle faster but I always start at 225 and creep up if need be. Once it hits 205 internal put it in a sheet pan or what ever and set it in a cooler for 30min to an hour to rest, remove from cooler and cut meat the thickness of a pencil AGAINST the grain of the meat
if it’s done right You shouldn’t even need bbq sauce 😁
