I bought myself a 1lb beef brisket today and since I got great advice here last time I am looking for help again. I only have a conventional oven and have ALL day tomorrow to slow cook it. I was thinking bake at @ 225 for 6-8 hours? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

That is going to be to long for a 1lb brisket. You got the temp right but the time wrong. Are you sure the brisket is only 1 lb. Never heard of one that small.

Yup, they were actually selling them by the pound at the meat market. Are you thinking about 4 hours?

Depends on how you cook it. I do brisket on a bed of sliced onions and garlic, mix ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, water, salt/pepper-pour that over, seal tight and slow cook 4 hrs.

ANy butcher can cut a full brisket into as many pieces as necessary. Personally, due to the fact that you need to cook brisket for a while, I wouldn't buy one less than 3#.

I imagine a one pound piece must've shrunk down to just about nothing after cooking 4-5 hours.

How was it?

Yeh buy bigger next time. I LOVE thin sliced brisket. Its amazing how good a "cheap" cut of meat can taste.

I am actually cooking it today and it looks sensational. 3 hours in and not much shrinking. I am the only one eating it so I didn't want a lot. This is my first time cooking a brisket so I am looking forward to trying it.
