I did this back in May, but I've been busy and just got around to sorting through the photos. See how everything went here:

Looks good. I found cooking my first brisket to be a transcendent BBQ experience. Congrats on your first brisket.

Great job! It appears you studied the process very well before attacking the Holy Grail of BBQ a full packer brisket. You only forgot to do one thing... Burnt Ends... the Caviar of BBQ.👅 Use the point for that and ALL that will be gone in a New York second.

I thought it originally came from the flat where it got burnt waiting for the rest to cook. My wife and I love "moist" so we wouldn't want to waste the point on that.

Hmmm... personally I think burnt ends are the tastiest bite in all of BBQ and if I must sacrifice the Prime part of a full packer to make my burnt ends taste and feel better in my mouth... Done! I've been doing exactly that for years. I actually separate the point from the flat before smoking them.

well, definitely worth trying. Also thought of trying faux burnt ends that redditors seem to love. Just need to find time for all this!
