Brisket Advice

[MechMedic130]

Taking my first stab at Brisket this weekend. I've got a 5lb brisket, whats a good cook time and temp for a cut that size? Any suggestions on prep before cooking? I was planning on keeping it simple with a rub, but I'll take any advice on the subject. Thanks!

I am sure that the experts will be along soon to help as this is a great place to get help. I do mine at 225F; cook time depends on how stubborn the meat is but usually betwen 1.5 -2 hrs per lb as a guide. But go with the internal temp and the tenderness test rather than a set time.
