Does anyone brine their brisket before smoking it?
I am currently going to culinary school and we are making bbq next week so we started preparing in class night and the chef (instructor) had me make a brine to brine the brisket over the weekend.
I asked the chef if this would turn the brine into pastrami and he said no.
Being a member of this forum for a while, I've never heard of anyone brining a brisket before.
So my question is, does anyone here brine their brisket before smoking it?
