So my father came over to my house with a huge brisket that he picked up for me. Normally, I always like to pick out the meat that I am going to cook, but I certainly was not about to complain.
I have a 15 pound whole, untrimmed, brisket in a cryovac package. I have cooked many briskets before, but I usually cook 6-8 pound flats. I have no idea on how to go about this. The length of the brisket will not allow it to even fit on the grate. I did read something about the "shoehorned" placement, but I still don't really understand what it is all about.
I have had my WSM cooker for about 2 and a half years now. I am not a beginner, yet not an expert. Even though I have some thoughts about how to cook this, I really need some input from anyone who could help. Thanks in advance. Brian
