Since I knew I'd have a three day weekend for Easter, I knew I'd have time to try something on my WSM. For my second smoke, I decided to try a brisket. I'd never had one, but a coworker had raved about it. I found one at a local grocery store, but at 5 pounds, it was considerably smaller than what was talked about in the cooking section. Given that it was my first attempt, I thought a smaller one would be easier to deal with. It went on at 10:30am and was done at 6:30pm. I'd wanted to let it rest for 30 minutes, but my wife couldn't wait but 20 minutes. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
I must say that it turned out quite well and I can understand the popularity of brisket.
I made a ketchup based barbecue sauce for it, but wasn't exactly sure if it was the most appropriate sauce for a brisket. Any recommendations for a barbecue sauce for brisket?
