I haven't cooked one either, will be doing that once it warms up a bit. I wasn't a big fan of brisket until a trip to a really good BBQ joint down in central Texas, ever since I've been hooked.
Check out BBQwithFranklin's youtube channel - he has the number 1 rated BBQ joint in Texas - there is a 2-4 hour line at the door on the weekends.
