Chuck roast is also the secret to Tx Chili.
I use ground and cubed

NO BEANS

When I was out there in the west Texas oilfields I was amazed how Mesquite was everywhere... and how the rainy season was later than I am used to and everything greened up later. I almost wanted to pack a box of dead mesquite branches and ship it back east. I wonder if smoking with black locust gives a similar flavor.

Pecan is the secret to good beef brisket, but must be used sparingly.

It has the best smokey taste, but will overwhelm pork or chicken

Sad he got smeared and lost his Senate seat.

Ain’t nothing wrong with loving both beef and pork.

Heck I’m from FL, live in MO and I like no sauce, vinegar based, tomato based, and mustard based sauces just as long as they are a little sweet with very little heat.

I don’t like BBQ or smoked poultry much and the Alabama mayo based sauce isn’t my thing.

When I was younger my dad used to BBQ/grill and make his own sauce, now he is just into smoking everything.

For me a thin vinegar and chili based sauce is best.
Nothing wrong with mustard based sauce.
They should be used sparingly.

Thick gloopy sugary sauce is an abomination.

JMHO

Some Texans are real strict about how things are served.
Gracious Texans give their guests option to have it as they like with lovely condiments on the side.

When water smoking poultry using cider instead of water,
Watch the dang liquid level!!

If it turns into syrup and burns, its all over LOL

Y’know, I’ve never had brisket. At least not real Texas smoked/bbq’d brisket (I’ve had corned beef (flat cut) a time or two).

Itching to try it, though. I’ve always considered piggy the meat of choice for BBQ, but I’ve heard nothing but praised for Texas beef brisket.

And yes, if any of ya’ll want to send me some from Sonny Bryan’s or wherever, I’ll gladly accept. LOL!

I don't think so, the BBQ joint was in Leipers Ferry just south of the end of the Trace. Cute little town,, had an art gallery and a fantastic gun shop and great BBQ ribs. What more do you need? (except Texas)..... :)

Corned beef is brisket, but it is brined and boiled.
