Next week I’ll be smoking a full packer brisket. I normally do briskets in my Cookshack, but I bought a Pit Barrel Cooker last year, so I’m going to give that a try. I’ll try and post the cook.

I've wanted to do that, looking at the briskets at Costco.  Not sure what I would do with all that meat.   Does it freeze?   Or maybe I could cut it in half and only do half at a time..

I have wondered that too.  Would be fun to do a big piece of meat but it is only the two of us.  Would have to freeze it and then use it later.  Maybe in meal sized pkg vac packs.

inhad my brisket cut into 2 pieces, it was a 15 lb brisket. and by the time the one half was done, it was half the size from when ot was raw. so theirs shrinkage. half a brisket would give 2 and great meal with leftovers for a day or two. slice it for a french dip sand which or fajitas or phylli cheesensteak

If 7 or 8 pounds of meat does you and her meal for a couple days, y'all eat way more than we do...

Ya, The edible yield of a whole packer brisket (untrimmed) is 45-50%. In addition to what Boar mentioned, you can cut the point from the flat during the wrap, and make burnt ends. You can find whole briskets in the 8-10 lb. weight.
