re: Brisket help please

Patch,

I never do it the same way twice, because I'm going for color ... I just eye-ball it

I like to spray best ... I get my 'cooking sprayer' (it's a sanitized gardening spray bottle from Wal-Mart, never used for gardening or other stuff) ... I put in 4-5 fingers of oil, and 1 tablespoon of cayenne for orangeish (light) flavor or multiple tablespoons of cayenne for red-brown (hot) flavor

Just spray, spray, spray the meat ever hour or so, and it works real well

I may experiment with other acidic flavorings. I just use oil and cayenne because I learned it that way at an Aggie tailgate ten years ago
