This isn’t going to have the lovely presentation as some of the wonderful posts I find on here but I’m going to give it a try. Just to preface I used my WSM with apple chunks and some oak chips someone gave me. Just used a store rub and ran anywhere from about 275-300. It took right around 12 hours. Here is the good stuff!

So I just had my second child and decided to throw on a brisket since I was going to be up all night anyways...I found one in Walmart when I was picking up supplies and it looked pretty decent from what little I know

I did some trimming and realized that I need a much sharper knife so needless to say one is on the way. I ended up trimming about 2 pounds. Here it is trimmed and rubbed.

After this I didn’t get too many pictures since little man needed attention and when it was finished everyone was hungry. It went a little too long and was falling apart a little on the point because I ended up pulling at about 207. But it had great flavor and was very juicy.

Overall I was pretty pleased with how it turned out. Hopefully one day I will get a better presentation like I see on here. Thanks for looking!

It looks good from here. You are lucky to be able to get a 207° internal. I live at high elevation, water boils at 203°, so I can't get much over that. They still get tender, it just takes a little longer.
 
Congratulations on the new family member! Brisket looks fantastic, so long as it's tasty, looks are second.
Well done!
 
Man that looks great! dont worry if it falls apart anywhere, just mix a little bbq sauce into that stuff and make the most amazong bbq brisket sandwiches u can ever have! :)
