I'd use about 4oz, but anything between 4-8oz is likely to give about the same results unless you use a stronger wood like mesquite or hickory, then stay on the lower side until you're sure you like the smoke.
I've got two whole packers(total weight about 27#) going in tomorrow night and I'll be using about 6oz of hickory.
Happy first smoke. Leave the door closed.

Thanks for the the info , just put them in .. i dont think ill be able to sleep tonight.. Brisket for breakfeast!!!! Thanks again
A tip for today,is plan on them taking longer than you think.
There is no straight line between weight/ cooker temp/internal time =done enough.
Stick your two tined meat fork all the way into the flat and try to pick it all up.
If you can pick it up,without it falling off the fork,it probably needs to cook more.
drbbq used to teach us to cook it until you are sure it is done and then cook a couple hrs more.
Not perfect,but on small briskets, it may get you close.
Be patient,let it set in the foil for 3-4 hrs,you'll be glad.
