Hey Tony, I’ve only cooked brisket once. My family didn’t get super excited about it due to how long it took to cook. I may try it again sometime but not planning to anytime soon.
Forgot to tag you nostr:npub147wy3decmxy3vs9u4nse80ha7nkcydt7zdge8lc9gk8ddglh4t6qudjwdr - have you done a brisket before?

Yea, it definitely takes a while and the mandatary 2+ hour rest definitely doesn’t help when everyone’s “hangry”.
People also generally like the pulled pork more than brisket which is surprising to me. Also, I think there’s so much left over brisket that the smoke flavor when reheated throws it off for some reason plus everyone gets brisketed out.
You should try it again but start a lot earlier. Planning on putting this one on at 6-8pm, even if it ends early, these can rest for lots of hours. Once I rested it for 6 hours and it was one of my best.
Have you tried beef ribs yet? Those are probably my favorite of all to bbq.
