Is it a whole packer or flat cut? I only do pit brisket but have started
on the pit and moved to the oven to finish up due to weather. Happy to
share some ideas.

I cook this style of brisket often, and it's easy to tweak the recipe
to one's taste... I like it braised in gingerale, or with a can of
cranberry sauce. I really don't care for texass style brisket (bbq).

You know you are not going to get any authentic TEXASS BBQ brisket in
NYC. Get a rope.

Actually even in Texas the brisket is hit and miss from place to place.
There are some BBQ joints that really do it right. Most don't. It has to
come right off the pit. BBQ brisket drys out quickly if held very long.
