I've done 4 and I have yet to screw one up! Go for it...

If you love cooking...then all the in's and out's of trying to get your brisket just right ought to appeal to you. If you have the time...then it's definitely worth it!

Start with good quality to improve your chances. Costco has prime briskets

Not many have done four buttes. **

One of the four was slightly less than perfect...

It can be a struggle when you working on a butt the first time. **

Too much chef lubrication?**
scoop76cs 04/04/24 01:29 PM ET
Always...**
great2bahokie 04/04/24 01:39 PM ET
Start with a small one and it's not too bad. I've done two in the last

well ive had good luck on hot and fast too, but i prefer low and slow**
BRVT 04/04/24 11:32 AM ET
Low and slow is always better. But it's not like hot and fast ruins it

Many years ago I read an article on a "Fast Track Pork Butt"...in short....
JoesterVT 04/04/24 12:17 PM ET
Go for it...If you can do a butt, you can do a brisket.
JoesterVT 04/04/24 11:21 AM ET
Worth the hassle of driving to the BBQ restaurant? Sure.**

Yes. What BR said below. Pick stall strategy; wait it out or Texas crutch**
pburg_hokie 04/04/24 11:15 AM ET
if you are going to crutch it, have some pink butcher paper on hand**
BRVT 04/04/24 11:27 AM ET
go for it, patience and time are the biggest factors**
