i think its about time i step up my game and go for a brisket. With the 14.5 what size brisket can i fit? Do i just buy a brisket and trim to fit? Cut it in half?
An alternative to trimming is to alter the shape of the brisket in the smoker to make better use of the volume available. If you have a rib rack, put that in the smoker and drape the brisket over it. It will raise the middle of the brisket and should take several inches off the length of the brisket at grate level. No rib rack? Try a loaf pan. If you're handy, build an A-frame assembly, like a pup tent frame, and drape the brisket over that.
