It was excellent. Sandwiches today. Tacos tomorrow. Left overs for the next 3 days.

Delicious.

Properly rated as amazing.

I think I actually prefer smoked turkey breast or even pulled pork.

Turkey breast over Brisket?

cougaman

6/27/20 8:27pm

Have you tried it, it’s delicious.

Nuke

6/27/20 8:29pm

Yep. Its still Turkey. I'm a dark meat turkey guy anyway.

cougaman

6/27/20 8:30pm

...ewwww...

The dark meat actually has some flavor.

cougaman

6/27/20 8:33pm

Every time. Smoked Turkey is delicious! Brisket is... overrated.

BYUtka

6/27/20 8:30pm

Beef ribs and turkey legs are the only things I like more.

To me, if you think brisket is overrated I wonder if you’ve had good brisket

jokercard

6/27/20 8:23pm

Obviously. Otherwise we would not think it is overrated.

I’ve tried a lot of Brisket, some of it has been pretty good , but it would never be my first choice.

Nuke

6/27/20 8:30pm

I completely agree, but that’s the point, isn’t it?

lilpenny

I’ve got my brisket game to where it’s great to amazing most every time.

Great when it’s done right, terrible when it’s done wrong, and just ok

USMCdad

6/27/20 8:26pm

I've had ok and bad... Many people claimed was "great" that was just ok.

BYUtka

6/27/20 8:27pm

Same

Nuke

6/27/20 8:30pm

I used to make it once every 2-3 years because I didn’t think it was all that

USMCdad

6/27/20 8:45pm

What are some of those techniques you’re using now?

Cougarman

6/27/20 8:58pm

Use prime full brisket, trim fat 1/4 inch or so everywhere

USMCdad

6/27/20 10:20pm

Thanks, those are some great tips. Do you wrap in butcher paper or foil?

Cougarman

6/27/20 10:34pm

Foil, I know pink butcher paper is the popular thing but

USMCdad

6/27/20 10:42pm

Where can one acquire prime brisket?

eysikal

6/27/20 10:50pm

Costco has them, they used to be $3.49 a lb for full ones

USMCdad

6/27/20 10:58pm

I didn’t realize Costco sold prime brisket. Might have to pony up for it. Thanks

I fell in love with it the first time I had the "fatty" brisket at Bam Bams.

Cougar Junkie

6/27/20 8:32pm

Everyone should list where they've had the best brisket. Makes a huge difference.

Supercoug

6/27/20 8:35pm

Franklin in Austin TX, Snow's in Lexington TX

AustinCougar

6/27/20 8:37pm

I am jealous. Franklin’s is a bucket list restaurant for me.

ebv

6/27/20 8:46pm

It's really, really good, but probably not the best in the state anymore.

Supercoug

6/27/20 8:47pm

I really want to do a barbecue crawl through Texas one day.

ebv

6/27/20 8:49pm

That’s going to be a ton of miles. I just did a crawl but in a truck and easily drove over 1,000 miles.

Supercoug

6/27/20 8:55pm

I'm not afraid (just out of shape).

ebv

6/27/20 9:05pm

Well there are some fantastic places. Let me know if you need feedback.

Supercoug

6/27/20 9:07pm

Dickeys and Bill Miller BBQ

At home. Prime brisket smoked with pecan. Thanksgiving 2017. It was divine.

Killens in Pearland

Texas Hammer

6/27/20 9:11pm

Lots of people I trust really like it, but it was off the one time I went. That can happen.

Supercoug

6/27/20 9:12pm

I’ve had it a time or two where it’s been good, but not great like it usually is

Texas Hammer

6/27/20 9:16pm

Hole in the wall place in Texas right before the bridge to South Padre Island.

Vera’s?

Supercoug

6/27/20 10:03pm

I think that's it.

Lance71

6/27/20 10:15pm

It’s a classic. Only people still allowed to do their pits in the ground.

Supercoug

6/27/20 10:57pm

Hutchins in McKinney, TX

Neighbors house in Utah. He’s from Texas and is an excellent pit boss. Melt in

Too many different times and places to list. Mediocre at best.

BYUtka

6/27/20 10:32pm

Best I had was Franklins in Austin, The Salt Lick in Austin was just ok

USMCdad

6/27/20 10:38pm

Too fatty??? But yeah The Salt Lick has to be the most overrated joint in the state.

Supercoug

6/27/20 10:59pm

Yeah it was very fatty and all the hype was a huge let down

USMCdad

6/27/20 11:01pm

Stiles Switch and Franklin’s in Austin. Smitty’s in Lockhart, TX

Bumpus Hound

6/27/20 10:59pm

As a cut of beef or just food in general?

Tare

6/27/20 8:37pm

Qdoba’s smoked brisket burrito is one of the best fast food meals.

Submariner

6/27/20 8:39pm

Brisket is really hard to master

whoneedscorners?

6/27/20 8:49pm

Here’s a hot take... brisket gets better the saltier it is.

scootsy

6/27/20 8:51pm

Generally true but you can go too far.
