• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Spicy brisket?

Hang in there

Getting "stuck" for hours is part of the fun of both butts and brisket

keep spraying ( hopefully sweet to build bark)

Not to hijack a thread, cause that ain't allowed :roll: , so here's a new one.

Anybody out there make a spicy brisket?

Not a spicy sauce poured on a brisket, but a spicy brisket right outta the cooker?
 
RE: Spicy brisket?

Rob, My Mrs is pretty sensitive to the spicy mod so I've never done a brisket that way. I have cooked chucks destined for the chili pot with a cumin and cayenne heavy, light on the sugar rub. Very tasty.
Phil makes beef specifically for chili, not sure how he preps it though.
 
RE: Spicy brisket?

I use Angelo's(Ft Worth) Beef Rub and it is pretty spicey, more towards black peppery.
 
Rob,
Best bet is an injection that is "kicked up".
I have not done a spicey brisket, but have spiced the heck out of some Butts! I added Tobassco and am thinking of some Chilpote Tobassco next time.
The cooking process seems to kill off some of the heat, so maybe try a "normal" spice load first--be ready to add more in later versions if you want it HOT or really FLAVORABLE :wink:

I am sure any of your favorite (disolvable) spice flavors would work fine in an injection!

Fun to experiment :lol:

I always make a spicey brisket. Good dose of cayenne and crushed red pepper flakes in my rub.
 
Try a wet rub incorporating Tobasco and cayenne.
 
I define spicey as added flavor from spices.

The rest of my family associates spice with heat, not with flavor.

So if you are talking about flavoring a brisket with rub, then yes I do. If you mean kicking up a heat factor, then no, I don't
 
I'm with willkat here....spicey as in spice flavored yes....heat no... I use cumin and cayenne in my rub, but not so much as to add heat to it.
 
My meat is well seasoned and spicey. I like it when the heat sneaks up on you after you swallow. Make my sauces the same way then you get a double whammy.

I couldn't agree more! I love that effect.

More like a triple whammy, you forgot shitting lava the next morning, I'll bet.

Neil,

I use white pepper for the "sneak attack" what do you use?

My brisket rub has white pepper, black pepper, and enough cayenne to make you notice that it's there. It's not an instant hot, but a slow afterburn.
