Doing a brisket for 6 on Easter Sunday. Anyone have advice for rub, wood to use in the smoker, time to prepare, or time to cook? I'm do a decent pork shoulder but am under the impression that brisket takes forever to do well. Whatcha got?

Also, any different sides you like with brisket?

I've used Jim Goode's, of Goode Co BBQ in Houston, braised brisket recipe for several years and it always comes out great.

That's a solid recipe IMHO, Brad.

I inject mine. I put it on a hot pit, sear it, roll then wrap in foil.

Set off of heat and cook until top 1/4 inch is pink.

I also put a can of water to keep the humidity up.

Oak, pecan, don't think "what kind" is critical but I'm no expert. I use wal mart charcoal and periodically toss in some pecan shells or a few wood chips.

Ive used hickory before and it seems to give a very strong smoke taste, be careful not to smoke it for too long with the hickory. Last time I used a few logs of pecan and maybe one or two hickory and it was aight.

I did a ten pounder a few weeks ago, it was on the smoker for about 8 hours. I fell asleep about 3 am and the fire went out, so I put it in the oven wrapped in foil for a few hours until I woke up and got my fire right. It cooked a total of 13 or 14 hours I think. I did cole slaw and beans

Here is a link to what I think is the best, most technical BBQ website. Hope this helps. It goes into great detail and really educates you about what a brisket is and should be.

Brisket Information/Recipe

As far as sides go I'm a traditionalist. Baked beans loaded with maple ground sausage. Potato salad with plenty of boiled egg. Always provide buns for those who prefer a brisket sandwich. Good luck!

Hickory is about all I use. But they say any hard wood is fine, just be careful aobut how much you use as not to over smoke. It's harder to over smoke a brisket than some other things though.
