On my lunch break, decided to go check out a local butcher shop. He had a couple real nice looking briskets, for ~$5 a pound. So, I picked up a nice 12.5 pounder. I did a brisket last weekend, but it was only about a 6 pounder, and was just flat. It came out pretty great though.
For this whole brisket, should I separate point and flat? or do the whole thing as one? If I do the whole thing together, point up or flat up?
Also, I'm thinking at 220, it's going to be about a 20 hour smoke? Does that sound right?
I'm planning on just doing a rub, letting it sit overnight in the fridge, and then smoking it. Is it more necessary to inject it?
