I know. We do have it better, but it is still quite a challenge. That's what we all really like about smoking briskets. You're taking an unusable cut of meat and making it into a mouth-watering, succulent thing of beauty.It's addicting.Dammit!!
Now you have me wanting to smoke a brisket!
Ain't that the truth!
For me it's half challenge and half wanting a nice brisket sandwich.
When you get the flat and the point to come out right you know you nailed it.
The kids nowadays have no idea how easy they have it. I first started BBQing 35 years ago when there was no internet to help you along.
We had to find an old timer willing to show you the ropes. That and destroy a shitload of briskets,it was truly trial and error.
I experimented with different woods, and found at a 3:1 pecan/hickory mix tastes the best.
