Question about Smoking Brisket | Cookshack

pogMember

A friend of mine had a cow slaughtered and gave me the brisket to smoke in my 025.

The problem I have is that the cow must have been really small because I never saw a brisket this small. The thickest part with the point is only about 2 inches thick and the flat tapers down to nothing. I don't know what it weighs either.

I will smoke it to around 190-195 but due to it's size I have no idea how to gauge approximate cooking time.

Can anybody give me some advise or basic guidelines on cooking time?

Should take no more than about an hour a lb. If the flat is real thin at one end, fold it over to try to get the meat as even as possible.

While your temp range is probably good, probe the texture as a final determination of tenderness.

Thanks for the advice. We'll see how this goes. Smoking some ribs for backup.
