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:

Never mind low & slow

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?

"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

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