Grilling/Smoking

Re: Grilling/Smoking
I do a lot of grilling but I am a novice at smoking. I decided I would smoke a brisket for Xmas dinner and thought I was ordering a flat brisket because estimated weight was 8-10 lbs, but when I got the order home I discovered I had a 20 1/2 lb packer brisket . I still plan on going through with smoked brisket for Xmas dinner. I'm a big fan of using brines when I smoke or grill, so I plan on letting it soak in an apple cider brine for a couple days. I'm worried about the timing. The temperature here will be below freezing, so I think I should allow at least 24 hours to cook.
Does anyone have any tips or advice about time, temperature, or preparation of brisket?

Re: Grilling/Smoking
The hubby and I upgraded grills a couple of months ago. Our hubby was not a fan of our gas grill, but it ended up working out. A family member's grill died that they used a lot at their camper, so they got our grill, and my hubby got a combo cooker with one side for propane and the other for charcoal. We've not even used the gas side after the initial test fire to see if it worked. Yesterday, we installed an offset box to the charcoal side so we could start smoking. But we have no idea where to begin that adventure!
