Hey Texans! BBQ Brisket question.

rflnomad · 05-05-2008, 07:33 PM

This will get peoples attention!
I am a self proclaimed BBQ addict with NO desire to go to rehab.
I smoke a lot of ribs, pork roasts and chickens, but never a brisket. I have heard from people that swear in Texas it is King. So.... I tried one yesterday.
I put a dry rub all over it and let it sit in the fridge for 2 hours.
I started the smoker and got the temp to stabilize at about 200 - 220.
I put the brisket in, fat side down.
About 3 hours I removed it.
I stuck it on the grill to bring the temp back up and the fire was getting weak.
I took it off and covered it and let stand for 45 minutes.
I sliced it thin and it was good.
BUT... Some people tell me it should fall apart like pulled pork BBQ. True?
I think I should leave it in the smoker longer, no grilling, and let stand 1 hour.
How about some tips? Thanks, Don.
