Just wondering. After looking at the pics here and on the BBQ Bible website .... I see some wonderful looking briskets. Black in color. Is the outside of your brisket hard or soft?
When you foil them wether it's to finish it up on the smoker or for resting the bark will soften up. They aren't on the smoker for the length of time a butt or chuck roll is so they really don't get all that hard. Butts and chuck rolls can get a pretty crispy bark on them.

While I agree, if proper pit temp is maintained, they can definitely get hard if the temp spikes on you or you're doing a flat on the bottom cooking grate while using sand rather than water. I'm sure no one will guess how I learned all of this
