High heat vs Low & slow

[chris comer]

After blowing my 1st brisket attempt a few months back I have been reluctant to try another. As luck would have it while shopping at Sams Sunday morning a brisket lept from the meat case and landed in my shopping cart in the exact spot that was being reserved for pork butts. Anyway I was thinking of getting up early this Sunday morning and starting what I expect would be about a 12 hour cook. Now I'm wondering if I should try the high heat method.
Which way would offer the best chance of success? And does anyone notice much difference in the final product? If so what? I hope not to reach the level of frustraion that FJ expressed in his earlier post...recommendations please. Thanks.....Chris

Use the search utility. You can find years worth of opinions on both methods that way.

Chris, did a nice flat on Monday. Let it cook in the 300 deg. range for 4 hours, then foiled and cooked for about 2 1/2 hours till done. I am a high heat fan especially with briskets.

thats exactly what I did, came out perfect. I recommend taking off the point and leaving it unfoiled. I provides an unlimited bark source for nibbling.
