Okay, broil, boil, or smoke? (if smoke, what type of chips?)
Dry rub or wet rub?
Length of time to cook?
Thanks!
thanks Bronzeage, I appreciate the info!There's no reason to boil a brisket.
Smoke it over indirect low heat for at least 4 hours, longer for a large one. Hickory is the standard, but any hardwood will give an interesting flavor. Some people sear the meat over direct heat first, but I don't think it adds anything.
Mine will be a corned beef brisket, sorry!Brisket is for pot roast and corned beef. No, there is no third option.

Thank you, I will take your advise and look at the you tube video!Most of the good cooks just use salt and pepper as a rub.
Trim the brisket of large pieces of fat, but leave about a 1/4 inch layer to keep the meat moist while cooking.
Use Hickory wood sparingly. Most of the good cooks use post oak, pecan or any fruit or nut bearing tree.
Cook 1-1 1/2 hours per pound at around 250 degrees.
Watch how the grain lays on the brisket and cut across the grain.
This video will give you some great advise.
