With gameday and the long weekend, I am looking to try my hand at a new way to for brisket.

I have seen several different method and several different recipes so if anyone has a tried and true recipe I would appreciate the help. So far the plan is as follows:
Season the night before w/ a SPG and MC Fajita
Smoke at 275-300 for about 3-4hrs
Braise in a birria marinade for 3-4hrs at 300
Rest for about an hour.

I am really looking for a good recipe for the marinade/consommé. I've seen some where they toast the dried peppers before, others where they don't. And the spices appear to change from recipe to recipe.
TIA

Feel like this still wont be long enough of a cook for a full packer, but the braise might help it

Get the preseasoned from Aldi's. Crockpot it with beef broth and onions (and whatever else you might like to add. Call it a day.

I've been cheating lately and using this from Target: It's actually pretty good.

Good stuff, but I find it really salty, so you probably don't want to overdo it.

Carnitas Recipe

I use this one, and make some adjustments to it, adding some chiles and peppers and things as well. It is an instant pot recipe. It turns out fantastic every time and is super easy. I'd assume it would work very well for a beef birria as well, adjusting some of the ingredients.

I don’t have a recipe saved, but I know the birria had tomatoes, onion, garlic, and 3 dried peppers (ancho, guajillo, and chile de arbol). I got some cheap beef ribs that were labeled as soup bones and cooked them in the birria for flavor.

I smoked a chuck roast instead of a brisket.

After straining the birria, I broke up the chuck roast and put it in a pot with just enough of the birria to simmer it in, for about 30 minutes just to get the flavors together.

Then griddle your tacos after dunking in the birria.

Was alot of work but well worth it, probaby the best tacos I’ve ever had.

It's long enough for the smoke. The question is, is it long enough on the braise.

yeah no reason to use expensive brisket for this, especially a whole one. I never cook a whole one anyway it’s just two of us. Smoke the flat and braise the point.

however chuck or any other pot roast cut is perfect for birria

We use trimmed chuck and Amazon Birria bombs. One of my wife and son's favorites.

Don’t look at the salt content on those bombs.

I don't worry about salt, and one actually consumes very little of the total.
