I think I actually prefer smoked turkey breast or even pulled pork.
Nuke
6/27/20 8:22pm
I just smoked a pulled pork today actually

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.

...ewwww...

The dark meat actually has some flavor.
cougaman

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

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?

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

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

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.

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

Franklin in Austin TX, Snow's in Lexington TX

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.

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.

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

Killens in Pearland

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

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

Vera’s?

I think that's it.

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

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.

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

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

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

Generally true but you can go too far.
