Not to stir the pot (well ok, maybe just a wee tad).
I just spent 14 hours and 15 lbs of charcoal cooking a 6 lb brisket flat that I ultimately needed to finish off in the oven.
Why on earth would I ever want to BBQ one of these again?
I get it with a whole packer. People love it and it's worth the time.
But good grief. If I can smoke a flat for a couple of hours, get a decent smoke ring, then braise it. Well..... why wouldn't I?
