Spur of the moment brisket

I have family in town this week, so I picked up a small (just under 5 lbs.) brisket to smoke for them. Then the forecast called for rain all week (in Seattle? Really?)

Then, as is typical, the forecast changed once again, called for a dry Monday, so I pulled a Matt Hasselback and <STRIKE>broke two ribs</STRIKE> went to the no huddle offense.

Rubbed with an ad hoc variation on the "Sugarless Texas Sprinkle" from the cooking section, and on the grill:

Ran the heat around 250* - 275*, foiled for the last two hours or so, and rested for an hour.

Turns out, four-year-old niece likes brisket! I think I'm starting to get the hang of this.
 
Nice Brisky Ryan, You should be used to cooking in the rainy weather, the sunny days might mess you up though.

I don't get it,... folks rip on Matt Hasselback like he was/is Beth "Far-ve-from-mediocre"...
I mean, for Pete Rozelle's sake, Matt is a decent QB! Sure he washed underwear for his idol, butt c'mon, ...

Ryan, your brisket looks SENSATIONAL!
And that's no shirt!
 
Thanks, everyone. This was actually the first brisket I've foiled, and it was definitely the most moist I've ever made (of course, I've only done three now, so small sample size). The half-beer I poured in must certainly have helped.

In re Hasselback, Jim, I quite agree that he's a decent QB, and would say that a few years ago he was a great one; but let's face it, he's brittle.

I've been known to throw down a beer or two while I cook too. Seems to go great with BBQ.
