I've been doing high heat briskets for the last couple of months with great success. High heat briskets are all the rage now and come out fantastic every time. Check this post below of a brisket I did last year.

This is what Gris swears is best at Dons Seafood, or so she has said a few hundred times. I was just telling you what to order. Get some Gratons (crackling) at Don's. You'll die of a heart attack much sooner than later!

If you go to BBQBrethren and the Virtual Weber Bullet message boards you will see a lot of converts to this method. I was very skeptical as well, but High Heat has turned out fantastic brisket every time.

I'll check out the High Heat method.

I may try to learn it for "emergencies", because for me, half the fun of smoking briskets is the hanging out, shooting the breeze with buddies, drinking beer, and just enjoying the whole process.

The high heat brisket is interesting. I like the low and slow method, though.

The count can't even make fun of me, accurately. Haven't posted about shrimp and crab gumbo at Don's ever, much less hundreds of times.

I have shrimp gumbo, only, there and fried crab claws and, sometimes the fried shrimp. I like the house dressing and homemade tarter sauce. Have no idea whether these are the best items on the menu, since I don't eat anything else when I'm there. These are the items I like when I'm not smoking a brisket.

At least, get it right next time, Charles.

What the hell, you've said it bunches. "I like their shrimp gumbo cause they don't put the shrimp in the gumbo broth till you order it". And I wasn't making fun of you, why is everybody so testy today! You too NoHo...

I don't say "cause" or "till" and I've never said "shrimp and crab gumbo". I don't even think they have shrimp and crab gumbo. I think you get either shrimp or seafood gumbo.

I was thinking the very same thing when I read your post. Figured it was because it's Monday...

Ok, so I was close even though it was not an "exact" quote. But close enough to get my drift...

Can't win for losing around this place.

Have a nice day!

Thanks. Maybe it will get better. It didn't start out very well.

Thats what you call that? You must've been the school ground verbal abuser champ. Sorry your day was bad from the start. But look at the bright side, you could be a resident Somolian with no air condition to set at 65.

I understand that, but the High Heat method still takes about 5 hours to cook if you do a whole packer.

I actually feel sorry for you. I couldn't smoke a cigarette in that thing and I'm good at tending a fire.

I usually make a marinade myself: Beer, Red wine, garlic, mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, etc..etc.. It literally changes every time I make it. Marinate it overnight.

I pre-slice the brisket in 1/2 slices, but only down to the bottom fat layer. I'll grill it for 1-2 hours and toss it oven (and back in the original marinade) for 6-8 hours at 225F.

Best brisket you will ever have... and the whole house smells like brisket for a few days.
