What is the minimum weight of brisket cut weight for decent results?
Hi, I am new to this I have a charcoal grill with a lid and vents which I plan on using as a smoker with hot side cool side method, I bought the ThermoWorks smoke x4 to use but we are a small family of 3 so those massive 6 or 7KG/ (13-15 pounds) briskets are enormous for us and also I am still new so I don't wanna make a mistake and ruin such a big piece of meat. So can a 2-3 (4.5 - 6.5 pounds) brisket work or a big cut is a must for good results? and if the small ones work, is there anything I should look into? Temp and time? Thank you.

First time smoking a brisket, really don’t want to mess it up. I’m worried i might’ve over seasoned. What do you think? And any tips?

Slice off a pound or two of the flat? How would yall trim this?
How would syall trim this? I almost want to trim the whole flat part straight across right above the white label and just grind that into burgers. Is that too much to trim? This brisket is around 23 and a half pounds so im not afraid to trim aggressively. Banana for scale.

Traeger shut down
I need help. My Traeger shut down while cooking a 20 pound brisket, I’m not sure what my brisket temp was when this happened or what time it shut down. I woke up at 3:30A.M and my brisket was at 120 degrees the outside weather is 37 degrees. Is it safe to keep cooking? My Traeger showed 20% pellets at 11:30P.m if that helps any.
