i cooked a 2 pound flat yesterday and what a wierd experience... smallest i have done before this was 5 pound flat. but this 2 pounder took forever.... 6 hours in, it was only up to only 130. i figured this thing would be quick, but it ended up taking 18 hours.... I couldnt believe it. was planning on eating for dinner... we ended up eating for lunch the next day.

tested temp with 3 different thermometers plus had a guru running. i know temps were accurate. just one of those things i guess.

turned out a little dry as expected Smile

but made nice pulled beef sandwiches. main reason i did it was a test of a new rub - modified bobby flays ancho chili rub. too spicy for comps but really good - recommended - receipe on foodnetwork.com

This might be one of those time you just have to say............
Some things are still a mystery to me
While others are much too clear

was that brisket from a cat?

how strange on the cook times. not surprised it dried out a bit, as it was probably a lean 2lbs. might have needed bacon on top to help baste it.
