As to the dryness of your brisket, multiple people agree that the primary cause is not cooking it long enough. Also, a long rest seems to be very important as well. Hopefully I can apply what I've read and come close to the perfect brisket on my first attempt. I really should start keeping detailed notes.
Yes, journal the experiment, wood type, fire type, heat used, size of brisket. Low ad slow is the Texas way, nice crust, thin line right under the crust, melt in your mouth. Looking forward to the results.
