6. 6

   Probably has very little fat on it.

7. 7

   You should either get some beef fat from the market or possibly else drape the meat you have with bacon to keep it from drying out.

8. 8

   Also use a spray of 50/50 oil and either Dr Pepper or possibly lemon juice every hour or possibly so to keep the meat from drying out too much.

9. 9

   Next time look for a whole packer trimmed brisket.

10. 10

    Weight should run from 7 to 15 lbs.with a good fat cap.
