A few years ago I went to a party in Lafayette, dude had some brisket cooked that was one of the best things I have ever eaten.

It wasnt barbecue really, it looked like pulled pork, I guess it was slow cooked all day. It was in a sauce, almost kinda orange colored, couldnt really tell if it was just the juice it made from slow cooking or if it was put in a sauce, but it was not barbecue sauce.

Anyone have a clue? Anyway, i want to cook a brisket this weekend and am looking for ideas.

Was the sauce onions and oil like?

I know a lot of people in Lafayette area including my parents will cook a brisket basically by putting on a smoker for a couple of hours and then wrap in foil and put in oven for hours until tender then shred it and then mix all the run offs with a onion/butter and tomato based bbq sauce then mix with the shredded brisket.

Huh. I've cooked brisket a couple of times. I've never had fall apart brisket.

So he didn't smoke it at all?

This is basically what my mom will make and then mix the drippings from the brisket.

I know my dad will put his on the pit just enough to get a little smoke into it then it get wrapped and goes in the oven. Sometimes they will put in the oven first and then it goes to the pit.

Myself I like to make it both ways. I will smoke the brisket and then separate the point from the flat and then wrap the flat in foil and put it into the oven. Then slice the point normally. So you get both options. I find the method much better than chopping for burnt end sandwiches.

I know a few Ville Platte boys that do that with Brikset and Pork Butt...Smoke it, pull/slice, then put it in Jack Miller's and let it simmer for awhile

I believe so...Check the Rouses or Winn Dixies. It would either be in the bbq sauce section or the Louisiana "classics" section with Tony's, Tabasco, Boil, etc

You would probably be good just making it. You need a lot for a brisket

My mom uses non dried onions but most of the rest sounds about right. Very important to mix the drippings from the brisket with the sauce.

I have had brisket boiled in crab boil then smoked. Tender, orange colored and kinda stringy.

Gives me heartburn.. But for the purpose listed in this thread the style goes well with the brisket made this way. Just dont put it on chicken for me. I prefer it homemade too.
