get a GOOD dry rub. Slop it with mustard so the rub will stick then put it in a smoker FAT DOWN so it protects the meat from the heat then keep the temp at 200 until the brisket internal temp is like 180. If you buy a big honkin' brisket from walmart like I do, you're in for a good 15-20 hours of cook time..but half the fun is hanging out all night drinking beer while tending to the 'que.

Once done, wrap it in foil & wrap that in a towel & stick in a cooler for an hour. Separate the point & flat..cut against the grain and try not to salivate all over the cutting board while you're doing it.

See sliced brisket does nothing for me.. If anything I would rather it chopped. Just pisses me off that since alot of people like it for BBQ that a shitty cut of meat is not way overpriced. Simular to flank steak.

agreed. I'd rather braise until it falls apart.

I always get pork shoulder for less than a dollar a pound

SAMS has it cheap and I always just buy the shoulder NOT the boston butt.. For whatever reason they charge more for boston butt even though it produces the same end result in pulled pork.

Pulled pork pisses me off.

n carolina is even WORSE. They chop it into tiny little dried out pieces of crap. But fwiw, i agree. once you pull it apart it starts to dry out pretty fast. I like the taste of the 'que and the rub..that's it..i'll skip all the 'sauces'.
