A while back I bought a 4 pound flat at BJ's. My daughter and family are coming Saturday for dinner. So my wife says let's make the brisket. I say OK!. Weather should cooperate. Never did a brisket on the gasser. I'm ready. She says WHAT! I am going to do it like I have forever (slow cooker). Deep breath, 45 years. Pick your battles. This is not one I can win. But a comprimise can be acheived. So she slow cooks, but I prep. So in fridge now dry brined. Use Big Bad Beef Rub prior to into cooker. In broiler to get bark just right. I hope this works. Or else I'm screwed.

I don't get the desire to mix methods here. If you slow cook it, braise it, make chili or some form of stew. If you want to have it be roasted, then roast it. I fear that mixing the wet with the dry will produce a suboptimal outcome, but if you've done it before, do it again and ignore me.

If she does, then I agree with PKB.
I am not new to this with my Weber Silver which I had for 13 years and still going stronge with my daughter. Until I joined you I had no idea what I did not know. Now I know how much I do not know. Trying so hard to fill the the void.

I cooked many corned beef style briskets on St Paddys of past in a crockpot. They were pretty good. You should do it her way and then try smoking one next time. That way you can both compare the results of the two methods.

RichieB my wife made me go into convulsions last night. I’m planning on cooking a rib roast for Christmas dinner and thought about doing Meathead’s garlic mashed potatoes. Until my wife says to me ‘I had lunch with mom at Cracker Barrel so on the way out I ordered green beans and hash brown potato casserole something or other to go with the rib roast.’ Now, I like Cracker Barrel ok but NOT WITH MY CHRISTMAS RIB ROAST. I lost.

Large Big Green Egg, Weber Performer Deluxe, Weber Smokey Joe Silver, Maverick 732, DigiQ, and too much other stuff to mention.
4lb flat, you're better off doing it slow cooker. It will still taste great. I've smoked those and not been satisfied. Too small, too trimmed.

ssandy_561 Terri, my lovely wife, her motive is a clean kitchen. I get it. I’ll make mine in the morning before my daughter and son-in-law from Boston and sister from Atlanta and Mother-in-law and Brother-in-law from down the road a piece show up. I’m going to be a little stinker for an hour or so.

Update: "Success! Brisket dry brined overnight, rub on about 800. In slow cooker by 900. Out a bit after 500 at 200. In broiler 5 minutes. My wife made candied carrots and roasted potatos. Put the potatoes in broiler with brisket. Nice crisp crust. Bark on meat just right. Added BBQ sauce and water to cooker when cook began. Made a great ajuis. My 10 year old picky eater tried it. He couldn't get enough.
I did go on record at the table, next one is all mine on the gasser.
Sorry no pics. To hectic with 3 grandsons 10,7 & almost 2.
Best part: Quality Family time.
Sub note: used the newly acquired ThermoWorks Smoke. Looks like a good investment.
