re: Brisket cook times

really depends on the temperature you are cooking at and the quality of meat you are cooking. Can be anywhere from 1.5 hours a lb (at lets say 225) to an hour a lb (at 250) the best thing is to use those time as a estimate, but it all depends on temperature for doneness. Plus you will need to let it rest for a time as well. Make sure you add that into your total time before slicing and eating. I would definitely get a thermometer to keep in the brisket for real time temperature. or at least one where you can probe the meat every so often to see where you are in the process
