David's Mesquite Smoked Texas Brisket

My first brisket, it turned out great my family liked it!! I am a garlic lover, so i will make again!!

This turned out a great smoked brisket. My husband didn't use charcoal too, he just used mesquite wood and we smoked it for 2 hrs and then into the oven for another hour. I only had a 3.5 lb brisket so we cut the time in the oven down, because I was afraid of getting a dried up piece of beef jerky, instead it turned out very juicy and moist and was only a little tough still. It would have been fine I think if I had left it in the oven the entire time indicated even though it was half the size. Thanks for a great brisket! I used minced garlic instead of cloves since it is what I had. It worked fine.
