I know full briskets are always better to smoke to get it nice and juicy, and my last few have been awesome using my #2. However I just couldn't resist a 13 dollar 2.5 pound cut at the grocers that only set me back 12 bucks vs the normal $65 I pay at my meat market. This time I'm making some brisket nachos with it and decided to smoke it the way I normally do my full size guys. Anyway, anyone ever cook these to eat sliced? Do they turn out ok? Any tips? I love the thought of a four to five hour cook!

I joked, one time, that here in the South, we consider anything under 3 lbs a steak! I got "grilled" on that one, so I won't go there again. :-[
Not sure how a cut that small will go. I once did a 3.9 lb pre-packaged corned beef flats, and it took 11 1/2 hours to hit 195! Figure that one out! Little sucker just wouldn't cook, but that may have been due to the amount of brine still in the meat (had a drip pan full). Anyways, hope your little guy works out better!

Wow! Another marathon-mini! 11 hours for 2.5 lbs?? Like my little corned beef - totally defies logic!
