Basically what I've learned from this post is.
#1. You need a ruler in order to foil wrap a brisket....
#2. 2 Sheets of foil is excessive.
#3. Packers are not as efficient as flats.
#4. If you wrap your foil too tight you will lose all the juice.
#5. Long/wide briskets produce ALOT of juice.
#6. People will post just to disagree with another post that differs from theirs.
I'm all for people speaking their opinions and sharing their different methods of cooking (which I TRY to do here) But I'll speak for myself, I'm tired of there only being one 'Voice' here that is ALWAYS right. I'm tired of THAT VOICE always talking down to other opinions or contradicting another method of cooking.......
Share your opinion, but realize your opinion is not always better or correct.
PEOPLE we're making BBQ not an artificial heart.... if you measure, CARE or even worse if you KNOW how much distance there is between your meat and the foil you should be locked up BECAUSE YOU HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS.
I'm just thinking out loud.......
I am sorry if I offend anyone here. But on many occassions, I have made a suggestion or another member has made a suggestion only to be overrun by a 'Guru' with some scientific BS NOVEL like post. Don't get me wrong, the knowledge is definitely there........ON BOTH POSTS .........whether it be in a post with 5 words or a post with 5 paragraphs..
My point is, I respect the knowledge that is shared here by ALL. However, I feel that alot of posts are disregarded if they are not explained to the point 'Rainman' could understand them. Or they are over run by such post.
I have learned ALOT from this forum and I like to feel I have taught alot on this forum. Both done so by MANY people, not just ONE.
