TT-actually after trimming a little fat it would have been more like 7.27 pounds. ;)

Here is my brisket for today. You may notice that the liquid level is quite high. There was just a small amout of Jack and Chardoney in the bottom when they went into the oven with a foil cover.

Wow I just got thru eating and that is still making me want to eat!! Looks awesome!

Hey is there any trick to getting the fat off of the top liquid once it seperates or is a spoon the best way to get it off?

Mine turned out excellent too. Except for the very thin ends on the flat, it was very moist and tender, and had a flavor that was out of this world. My neighbor was a bachelor tonight, and I invited him over to try it. He absolutely loved it. Couldn't get enough. He was actually eating the strips of fat the I was trimming off. :P The point just came out of FTC and got pulled. I tried to slice some to make it easier to pull, but it just completely fell apart. The bear claws tore it up in a matter of minutes. I have it "soaking" in Icemans sauce overnight, and can't wait for a pulled brisket and smoked cheese sandwich for breakfast. Thanks again Gizmo or the idea!

The best way is to let it cool. It will congeal and then you can lift it off. If you want some immediately, suck the liquid off the bottom with a baster.

Thanks Giz that is about what I figured.

On...that is making my mouth water just thinking about that.
