Not all trips to the kitchen result in better than average dishes. Given there are a large but finite number of recipes in the world, removing one as being graded below average is just doing my part in culinary research. Bad results are just as important as good results. Henceforth I will grade each dish in 3 categories. Taste, Texture, and Presentations. Each category has a score between 0 and 9. (0 being poor and 9 being superb).
The general recipe is as follows
Marinade beef brisket in your favorite rubs and oils overnight
Grill 5 min per side
Cook in oven for 2.5 hrs at 275.
Slice and serve on buns with your favorite condiment (mine was a reduction of bbq sauce and beer)
A bit recipe research tells me 2.5 hrs is too short, I extended my second attempt to 5 hrs, but with even more dismal results. The original recipe which I followed exactly can be found here.

Couple of suggestions...
1. Try brineing it overnight. This seemed to help break it down quicker.
2. Cook it with the fat side up. This let's the goodness disolve down into the meat.
3. Try 1.25 - 1.5 hrs per pound at 250.

So what was the grade of this recipe?
