Ok campers, get ready to get up at 4am to make a 7pm dinner. But what a dinner! Holy amazeballs, home made brisket is good.
When making this, i suggest you follow the brisket plan. I do this on a big green egg, ymmv on other cookers.

Notes
Don’t panic!
I didn’t use enough rub. Â More rub.
I might try putting it fat side down on the egg next time.
