Slow cooker brisket question

[rickismom]

I got a 1.58 lb seasoned brisket at Kroger's today. I've never cooked one before and am trying not to heat up the kitchen. How long would you think it should take to cook? Should I put in liquid and if so, what kind?
I appreciate your advice!

I'd sear it first, then add some beef broth to a slow cooker on low for 6 hrs.

How much broth do you think since it's a small piece of meat 1 cup? And I thought I'd add onion which would add more liquid.....?

A cup of broth won't hurt it at all. Onion would be great. Might go 6 hours, but I'd check it in four hours.

I've added 2 cups of beef broth before for a brisket that small.
I don't think it would hurt anything.
Like Lee said though, I'd check it after four hours.
I've made lots of stuff in my crockpot before that is done waaaay before I expected lol
