got a cheapo smoker it stays at about 200degrees. the brisket it self is massive i probably will have to cut it into two halfs...one on the lower rack and one on the top rack. (i didn't buy it just doing a somebody a favor)... will cutting it into two effect the smoking making one tougher than the other. and how long to smoke at the above temp. i was thinking like 15hrs...any info would be nice (can't change the smoker or the brisket, got to do it no matter what, so please no "get another smoker" aint happening.
 
First, welcome to the site.

I think I would have to say that I would try to build some sort of shelter provided you are in a climate where it is less then warm. I would want at least 225.

Cuting the chunk O meat is no big deal at all, just seperate the point and flat.

Sounds like you may not have all the fancy stuff so I would say maintain temps. If you can fit it, then put a pan under the chunk to catch the juice. When you can put a butter knife in the meat with no resistance, kinda like going in the butter, pull it and put it in the pan with foil over it. Let it rest in a cooler till the temps come down to 165 and slice it.

Now that all sounds good to me but we need Q-view. Now can you swing into Rolol Call and introduce yourself and your equipment and we can give you the big howdy that we like to give new members.
