Three Pound Brisket

[Rusty James]

How should I smoke this?

It's barely small enough to place in a one-gallon Ziploc bag. I thought about seasoning it with one or two packages of McCormick marinate (in a bag), or I could use salt & pepper. I picked a brisket with a small fat cap and some marbleization.

This is my favorite way. If you do let me know if you also love it.

Forgot to post back, but the smoke went well. The meat was very juicy and tender in places. I decided to go with the McCormick's marinate (3 days in the fridge). Friends and family said it tasted outstanding, but I was a bit underwhelmed. The outside was a bit tough, and I thought the meat could have had more flavor. Maybe I'll try a different approach the next time.
