Suggest a better descriptionThis is a perfect way to spend a day, and makes a meal fit for a king! It really takes a smoker to make this successfully, but creative folks can use whatevers handy. Select a good quality beef brisket. Trim off excess fat and store in refrigerator until ready to barbecue. If you wish, marinade the meat for additional flavor or tenderness. A good marinade can consist of water, Worcestershire Sauce, Soy Sauce, pepper, lime or lemon juice - whatever you like! (No Salt, though) Start 8 lbs. of the charcoal and allow coals to develop gray ash over all before beginning to cook. Reserve the remaining 2 lbs. for adding when needed later. Add wood that has been soaking in water for an hour or so. Cook the meat on a grate approx. 8 inches over the coals, adding charcoal and wood to fire as needed. It isnt necessary to keep a heavy smoke at all times, just 1/2 of the cooking time. Use a meat thermometer to determine doneness of meat to your preference. If the smoker has an indicator for temperature, a low heat is fine. Coals and wood tend to burn at lower temperatures when enclosed in a smoker. While cooking, it is essential to baste often with the basting sauce. Usually every 10 minutes or even less will ensure a juicy and delicious brisket. If basting with another sauce, remember that anything containing sugar or tomato will burn, leaving a scorched flavor. Thats especially true with meats cooked over long periods of time. Serve with the warmed barbecue sauce and breads, beans, salad or potatoes. Enjoy! Jeff Duke
