Wife’s family want brisket. Now I’m ok at brisket, but they think I’m the smoker genius at it. My best is ribs, steaks and Cornish hens. Now I’m not going to say no, to rocking brisket for 14 to 16 hours, cause that’s the only time “NOBODY” gets mad at me for drinking for 16 to 20 hours at a time. You know, got to have the prep/seasoning time, the split wood time, feed the fire box relentlessly time and the meat rest time and all. I don’t get to drink like when I was young anymore unless I’m smoking brisket sad really. Probably a good thing I don’t cook these often
