Hey all.
I have a Gascraft propane cabinet smoker (best purchase ever) which I use to smoke my chicken, ribs and make my own home maple cured bacon(don't get me started on how good that is!)
My question is this.
I want to do a brisket. All of the people on here seem to use kettle BBQ's such a Weber etc which seem to give it a great crust.
My smoker does not allow for you to place the meat over direct heat as it simply has 5 shelves and a drip/liquid tray underneath then the gas flame with wood chip box.
How important is the crust.? I have never ever made a brisket as it is not big here in New Zealand but you guys/gals have my mouth watering at all of the photos uploaded.
Would throwing it on the barbie for a few minutes help prior to putting it in the smoker?
I appreciate your help/advice.
