May not have the people to eat or time to cooka whole brisket. Would it be ok to quarter it and cook half the flat end and half the thick end almost like cooking two roasts? Would that ruin the meat?

Probably get flamed for even suggesting it but it's a real problem re: time and small amount of people and I want to have some lean (boo) and some fatty (yea!) cuts...

UGH!  Looks like it didn't matter.  They only had the flat....AGAIN.  3rd place  I looked.  Gotta order or find a good butcher I guess.  So now it's lean/dry cut I guess for my first smoke.  But I'll press on and make the best of it!
 
I will do so.  Thanks to everyone for being kind, understanding of "dumb" questions and helpful.  Appreciate it.  While I was out I picked up some Italian sausage so I'll give that a whirl too!
