I think you could if you hung them. Wrap in foil or parchment paper.
I hung a full packer in the 14.5: http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?588...4-5-with-Kraftwrap&highlight=full+packer+14.5
The 22.5 is HUGE !!! You should have ample room.
Thanks for the help. I will probably cook it ahead of time. The extra challenge is this is going to be a cub scout camping trip, so I won't have access to an oven or electricity for that matter.
Just for reference. Four 13 pound briskets will fit in a 22.5" WSM. It's a really tight squeeze at first, but once the brisket shrink, you have plenty of space.

I always ask my butcher for a couple 16 pound briskets and they can't always get them. I have found that a 13 to 16 pound brisket takes up 90% of the rack. The other option is to hang them, hanging them will enable 4 briskets. Use a lot of hook, the meat gets pretty tender and may fall off the hooks, which is why I leave the bottom grate in and use the expansion section.
