I love doing ribs and pork butts in the PBC but had been looking for an opportunity to do a brisket. Went to Kroger this weekend to get a pork butt and i see brisket for $1.99. I couldn't pass that up (it was obviously a sign). It was the first time i have cooked a brisket and decided i was going to take the point for burnt ends. I see people posting about them often, but i had never had them before. When i sliced the point it was already looking pretty good, but after i sauced them an put them back on the PBC for a little while... MIND BLOWN. I couldn't stop eating them the rest of the afternoon. My wife who isn't normally a big meat eater kept going after them too. The flat was a little drier than i would have wanted but still passable for a first attempt. Definitely something i would do again (and again). Thanks for all the knowledge shared in The Pit, this is definitely something I'm glad i tried.

Looks good. I also picked up a whole packer from Krogers. I was thinking of splitting the point out for a separate burnt ends cook. At 18lbs, cooking whole will take forever. Hopefully, mine turn out as good as yours looks.
