Brisket - Texas Style BAR-B-Q
 

We're doing it wrong!

Who knew? :doh:

I picked up a 16lb brisket at one store and a 12lb at another. This was on the 12lber.... :crazy:

:shock:

:confused:



Never mind low & slow

Forget hot & fast




Texas Style BAR-B-Q is Slow & Fast!!

:mrgreen:

I think this is a hoot, whod a thought?
So all you Texas guys, tell me what's up with this:
I was cooking in a major contest when a Texas fellow stopped by to ask if I was cooking a #24 Brisket. I had no idea what he was talking about so he told me the best Briskets cooked in Texas had at least 2 inch fat cap, the bigger the better. Huh?

Where do you get slow coals? :confused:
I'm gonna need those as I get older as I'm guessing they'll be easier to catch. :thumb:

I guess those Texan's really DO know brisket :becky:

I'm pretty sure Kingsford briquettes are supposed to be slow burning. I guess you use those. I wish they would say if you are supposed to turn it clockwise or counterclockwise. I hope I don't mess it up.

I'm so confused!

"For best results use a meat thermometer"

Does that mean as opposed to not using a therm at all or do they mean don't get that one from the medicine cabinet? That could go really wrong. :shocked:

Have to make sure you hit the "170F for medium"

Don't think a rectal thermo goes that high....

I think that Texan had to many bud lights, I cook 10- 15# whole briskets and don't really care to cook a 24#der ever. Supposedly the best brisket cooked in the USA are done right here in my city and they are all about 10-15# at Franklin s BBq As for the OPs post ya'll know that that's just marketed to people up north you wont find that on the shelf's here in Texas, and we do have vehicles we don't all ride horses

They couldn't even pay real actors to pose for a picture with a smile. What does that tell you? :shocked::doh::sick:

Thats just embarassing! I don't think that would fly here in the Lone Star State!:crazy:

Funny, I live in Maine and haven't seen this on any shelves here either.

slow and fest brisket cooked to a perfest 170 med is the bomb. :clap:
