Gonna cook a brisket flat, partially trimmed, on my WSM on Wednesday, using sand in the water pan instead of water. I used this technique with a pork butt on Saturday and it turned out great.
However, since this brisket appears to have less fat on it (it does have a fat cap, just not as thick as a fully untrimmed one)and I want to cook it using sand in the water pan instead of water, I was concerned it might be too dry when it was done.
Accordingly, I am thinking about putting it in one of those cheap aluminum disposable baking pans and then onto the grill. That way the pan catches the juices and would hopefully keep the brisket moist.
Any thoughts?
