Brisket - Hot & Fast

[Boshizzle]

btcg, I don't recall how long it cooked before foiling it. But, I cooked it with a chucky so it was cooking without foil longer than it probably needed.

got14u, I have thought about cooking one after splitting the two pieces. But, haven't done it. One day perhaps.

Bo,

How long did you use smoke? The whole time?

 

[Boshizzle]

I use smoke up until I foil the meat.

 

[btcg]

Okay, so it's 2 hours of smoke. I've found 2 hours to be optimum as well.

Does hot & fast work on a UDS? Or does the direct heat kill it?

I use a diffuser in my UDS and have had good results that way. I haven't tried it without a diffuser.

Holy Cr@p, only 2 hrs in the smoke!!? Don't tell the Low and Slow guys. The pics show you have a good handle on this method.

Low and slow is a great method and I have seen some great results. But, I just don't want to baby sit a brisket for 12 - 14 hours, especially when I can get good results with this method.
