Question: how long does it take to cook a 2 pound brisket?
Answer: Before cooking, trim fat to 1/4‑inch thickness. Then marinate the brisket overnight (12 to 24 hours). Sear brisket directly over medium coals or near a hot fire: 20 minutes per side. After searing, allow approximately 1 hour of cooking time per pound. Slow cook at a low temperature of 250 ˚F.
