its all good, got a 7 lb one to experiment onmizzoufan said:didn't mean to dissuade you, a small brisket is quite possible in the SI, just be sure to use all the tricks for moisture (brine, inject, water pan) in case it is in there for even longer than usual on smaller pieces of meat. Another option is to smoke for ~2-3 hours and then wrap and finish in the oven (this will likely not give you a good bark if that concerns you).

elkins20 said:Ok will try that next time... The other day I just cut the two I had in two. Now I have 4 pieces that are each a little over 7 lbs. I hope they will cook alright
