Making a smoked brisket

I always fake it. Throw one on the BBQ then pull out the one I bought from the local BBQ shop and fool all my friends so help me out too.

Serve with brisket David's Mesquite Smoked Texas Brisket SUBMITTED BY: Heloise "My husband David gets raves for his South Texas Dilly Digs Brisket. Please read the whole recipe thoroughly before you start." INGREDIENTS 8 pounds beef brisket 15 cloves garlic, peeled 1/4 cup Greek-style seasoning DIRECTIONS Make deep cuts into the brisket with a paring knife. Place cloves all the way into the cuts. Liberally sprinkle brisket with Greek seasoning. Place mesquite wood over gray/hot charcoals. Put brisket fat side down on the grill. Smoke for 2 hours and do not turn the meat. Take the meat out and wrap tightly 2 times in extra heavy aluminum foil. Put in the oven for 2 hours on a cookie sheet at 250 degrees F. Remove from oven and let sit (still wrapped in foil) 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving to let the meat "firm up" and the juice to be absorbed.
