FBA Brisket Turn-in box question

[jasonjax]

Hi folks,

I'm doing my second ever FBA event in a few weeks. (competed with a buddy once before) ... we didn't know what the heck we were doing. We still don't, but we did take a class from a winning team. So enough background....

Do you guys put anything besides your sliced and burnt ends in the box similar to what most do for chicken and pork or do you not worry about the bottom of the box with brisket?

Thanks!

What did they do in your class?

That's what I would do

Great question ... this was the one thing he didn't get to in the class. Matt showed us a KCBS style box, but didn't have time to show his FBA brisket box, and of course my notes are questionable as to how he did his.

Good teachers/instructors have no problem helping with follow up questions. You might try reaching out to him.

I've witnessed an FBA brisket box put together that went to win 1st at a KCBS contest. 3 token pieces of parsley for garnish. Long brisket point pulled strands built up the box, slices and burnt ends in the usual places. Built on the diagonal.

I'd definitely contact your teacher. Part of what you paid for.

Put chopped brisket in the bottom, about an inch or more. Slices and burnt ends on top.

Just FYI - Matt Barber answered my email question to him in minutes after you guys suggested I reach out to him.

Thanks all!
