Just bought my Obs today, got her seasond. I told my wife to pick up a brisket. She bought a small 2.5lb flat (I could eat the whole thing my self) This is going to be my first, I got my prep all figured out, but what temp should I smoke it at and how long. Im thinking 180* for 6hrs? Thanks

220 till it's done and around 4 hours of smoke.

220* until you hit an IT of 185*.  Then FTC a bit.  That small a brisket you better keep it on the top rack.

Haha I was off a bit huh. Guess 180* is the IT. What is FTC? Front top Center? Thanks for the quick help.

Don't fret Mitch. It's easy with Bradley.  What are you measuring your IT* with?

If the brisket doesn't have a fat cap - with that size it is probably a "market trimmed" brisket - you may want to put a bacon wrap on top to keep it moist.

I have one of those thermometers with the probe. I can just run it through the vent and in to the meat. Im going to get this guy going at  about noon, just in case it takes a little longer its about 20* here in chicago.

Good luck!   I'm to the south of you, near Springfield.

We're a few degrees warmer.
