Brisket UN-appreciation thread

Groundhog66 · 06-09-2011, 03:03 PM

I gotta tell you, I think a brisket flat is one of the most overrated meats in the BBQ world. Even when done properly, I am only looking to have a slice or two. IMO it rates just above chicken breast, and just below just about everything else.

Lots of folks like or dislike a lot of things.

Nothing wrong with that.

As far as low and slow beef I prefer tri tip. I've only done one 14# packer brisket that took me 12 hours to cook. It tasted great but I can make a tri tip in 1.5 hours and get more flavor out of it.

Glad to hear another opinion!
But, don't hold back! Tell us how you REALLY feel!

I'm not fond of liver either!

I do really like brisket points over the flat, but I won't turn down a properly cooked slice or two (or four or six). Having said that, I'd much prefer a nicely smoked chuck for pulled beef in a sandwich.

Liver takes on smoke well.

I do a bacon wrapped chicken liver that folks love, even if they do not normally like liver.

I love cooking brisket but hate eating it. Im with you Tim.

Must be a California bias.

Glad you like tri-tip and so glad you're not a closet vegan!!

Proper brisket can be elusive, but when done right: man oh man, real hard to beat.

Yep, I've even wrapped the livers in marinated chicken thigh skin before smoking and finishing off over direct heat.
