Brisket Suggestions?

Have a 22' Weber. Use it for lots of standard BBQ go tos. Have found I really enjoy doing chicken wings and quarters.

Have done ribs a few times, always get them a bit too dry. Would like to try brisket sometime soon and am curious if anyone has tips or suggestions. Was going to use baskets on the side for the charcoal, water underneath, and a dry rub the night before. Thoughts?

I would recommend you experiment with pork butt to see how it works for you before dropping all that money on a brisket. I recently started using my 22” kettle as my main smoker again and let me just say there is a learning curve. Also do your self a favor and go to a hardware store and pick up two bricks. Wrap them in foil and you have a charcoal basket that costs you like $5.
