you'll get a ton of different answers to this one... low & slow, hot & fast, using your oven, using a thermometer for internal temp, no them & just go by feel etc. May leave you back where you started or you decide to go with who you think knows their stuff.


What do YOU think you should do ?

Love to know how you'd like to approach it first.. and then give you our preferred methods.

well im still getting to know my smoker but i have learn that there is a temp where the fat seems to start to break down. but i was think warm my smoker up for an hour around 300 then put the meat in and shoot for 250 270 but i dont know.

With Vinny on his answer on this one. First, are you looking at 6 -7 lbs briskets? These would probably be flats and not full packers. Is that right? We wil go from there.

Can't argue with what has been said. Will say that I have had much better luck with full packers. Good luck

2 briskets 1 = 6 # and 1 =7# and it looks like a flat oval piece of meat

mj, have you done any searches for cooking briskets? There is a lot of information there on this forum. All of your questions can be answered in detail if you search a little.

There are no exact answers to your questions because of the variables. Then, there are still no exact answers to your questions. Just some guidelines as to how to cook any good piece of meat. Just trying to understand your level here. Hope we can help bro!
