Salt, pepper, smoke, low heat, long time, check your thermometer. Try the Texas crutch if you are afraid to dry it out.

So do I need keep water in the smoker or is the fat enough to keep it from drying out?

That may be something you try both ways, I liked my bark without as much moisture in there and didn’t put water in until later or not at all.

shite. I was thinking of doing a brisket for Christmas, but it sounds like it might not be a good time to try it for the first time

Brisket isn’t the easiest smoke. Go with a pork shoulder if you want something super easy to get good.

Yeah, pork shoulders are about as fool proof as it gets. Plus a brisket can take a long time (not that a pork shoulder is a quick cook).
For something like Christmas we smoke London broil and salmon. The timing of the cook is much more reliable.

It's not difficult to smoke, it just takes a few times to really be able to tell how long it will need to cook for on your smoker. Everybody is different and cook times will vary.
I wouldnt want my first cook to be for Christmas when everyone is expecting to eat at a certain time. You will inevitably realize that you're running out of time and pull it off too early or have to wrap and increase your temp to have it done.

I've started brining my briskets in pickle juice for 12 hours the day before the smoke, like La Barbecue. Aaron Franklin's method produces the best cooked brisket, but I like the flavor that La Barbecue has.
