Tip for those new to smoking briskets...
Brisket is easiest sliced thin cold. So, if your brisket is not as tender as you might like it, let it cool. Put it in the fridge. Take it out cold, and slice it very thin.
To heat the slices, put them on a plate, sprinkle a few drops of water on them, cover the plate with plastic wrap. Put them in the micro-wave on Reheat setting. About 30-45 seconds should do it. DO NOT put the microwave into Cook cycle.
You can find a smoked flat in our frige most all the time...wrapped in foil and kept in a zip-lock bag...ready for a quick sandwich.
BTW, if your brisket is too tender to slice normally, simply make thicker slices, or chop it.
