Bird, that sounds right tasty. I never tried a brisket before I got in the BBQ grill business, but I kept reading about Texan's favorite BBQ meat. Now, it's not something I do often (because it takes so much time), but I do enjoy it. One of the things I like best about it, is that in these times of high beef prices, it's still reasonably priced. Of course, the reason it takes so much time to cook properly, and is reasonably priced, is because it's an absolutely terrible cut of meat...one of those things where effort can turn a sow's ear into a silk purse.
I have a Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker, which is a vertical water smoker, that uses charcoal. Aficionados call it the Black Bullet. It doesn't have enough diameter to do an entire 10# brisket at once, but it can handle a 5# half brisket nicely. You really have to be dedicated to feed it charcoal and wood chunks for 10 to 12 hours, but the brisket is delicious when done.
