re: Help with smoking a brisket please

I always feel so strange when brisket posts come up, because folks seem to think they are difficult to cook.

Here is mine.

Brisket My Way

I've done 40 or more over the years and can't remember doing one that didn't come out the way I intended. The only down side with a brisket is the length of time they take. It is an all day deal, but other than that not such a big thing.

Follow what I did or most any other of the posts shared in this string and you will be OK.

Just please don't tell anyone it was a difficult cooking challenge. It's just a brisket and needs to be cooked like a brisket should be cooked, which is any of five or six different ways, all of which come out fine if they go slowly and stay away from high temperature direct heat.

And not to enter the argument, but you can cook a brisket in the oven, on an electric smoker, in a charcoal and wood smoker, on a Webber Kettle or a BGE if you go slowly and stay away from direct heat.

Nothing better than a decently smoked brisket.
