I have used this with other cuts of beef that do well when braised, e.g. rump or chuck roasts. I do reduce the oven temp to 300 increase the cooking time to 5 to 6 hours. (I would do this with brisket as well.) The main difference is that the other cuts may not shred well when done, you may need to slice the beef. When I do a rump roast with this, I let it cool uncovered on the counter for 30 minutes then slice it thinly. I then divide it into three one pound "packages" with the pan juices. The reheat beautifully on low on the stove top in just a few minutes to make delicious beef sandwiches on kaiser rolls. I serve them with a small dish of the juices they where heated in on the side for dipping the sandwiches. Delicious!

I wonder if this could be done in a slow-cooker and for how long???? It sounds wonderful, but my oven doesn't work very well, so do a lot of slowcooking. Thanks for any advice.

You can definitely make this in a slow cooker. Cook on high for 4-5 hours or low 7-8 hours or until fork tender.

I think 4 to 5 lb-beef brisket would serve more than 6 people, especially if shredded and used for sandwiches. Wouldn't 4 oz. per person be a better estimate?
