re: Need Tips--Smoking Brisket for the first time.

i did one on an old smokey but, you will not be able to do it for a long period of time.

here is what i did:

boiled some crawfish. added seasoning back to the water after last batch came out. added the brisket to the boiling water and boiled it for 45 minutes. took it out and wrapped in 3 layers of heavy duty foil. put it on the smokey for 2.5 hours. it was out of this world.
