Love this thread but I can't read the title without losing it.
GF bought a brisket today. I've never cooked a brisket so started researching today...holy crap...there is a lot to know about cooking brisket!
Do it right and it will reward you with the most tasty thing you have ever eaten. I did my first one about 6 months ago, and I try and do one every other month.
I love brisket. It is a nice departure from pulled pork BBQ. It can be expensive, but so are ribs these days, and at least with brisket you are paying for meat and not bone...
So far I've "dry brined" it for a few hours then mixed and applied a rub. Will leave in the fridge till tomorrow.
Have gotten some advice from friends and a huge amount of info from WWW.amazingribs.com. Great site.
I have one in my fridge I am planning on smoking Wednesday. Haven't decided how yet. Will be my first!
