I experimented with sand a few years ago, but switched back to water after a few tries. Don't really remember why.
Anyway, I have been rethinking my entire cooking process, and have been thinking of giving sand another try.
The biggest thing I am curious to find out is if there is a noticable difference in bark - especially on butts and briskets.
My butts get a great bark with water, but my brisket never really does "firm up" (for lack of a better word). I don't foil or spray either, just make sure that there is always plenty of water in the pan.
Anyone ever made this switch from water to sand and noticed a difference in end product?
