Almost looks like a big steak in that aluminum pan. Salt, Pepper, Garlic and just a touch of Chili powder.

Going to start early am tomorrow and will post a few pics....

That IS a odd looking shaped brisket...maybe it's just the photo.

Just smoke it low and slow and it will be delicious.
 
I like that size too....somehow I am doing a 17.8 lb one before trimming.
 
I have 2 17 pounders on the Shirley right now. Getting ready to throw some pork butts on in about 30 minutes.

Looking forward to seeing that bad boy when its done!
 
11lb brisket update.....

Put the brisket on at 6:30 this morning so almost 5 hours in and been running in my vertical stack mostly around 235-255. Current meat temp is 156 in the point so might decide to wrap in a couple hours but have not looked at it yet so have no idea :) Have faith.......All pecan today.

Just before wrapping

Here we are at 12:30 or 6 hours in and 166 degrees so decided to wrap to speed this up a little bit.

Looking good from here.
By my calculations, an 11 pounder yields enough finished meat for you and me. Just PM your address and I'll be right there ;)
 
Up to 198 but still pretty tight on the probe so it is going to be another few hours.....final temp of 20?........
 
Ended up pulling at 4:30....203 in the flat and seemed pretty good. Just put in a pan and letting it sit until we eat in a few hours...pics then and just a tease now of it wrapped...

Final Brisket pics from today

I feel good....My wife said this was the best brisket I ever did and there have been many......About 11lbs on from 6:30a-5:30p cooked at 235-255deg with pecan. Wrapped in butcher paper after 6 hrs at 165ish. Internal was 201+. Only had the flat for dinner which was great and I expect the point is even better.
