Howdy folks this is the question the wife bought a brisket the other day to smoke (my first one I might add) and its to big for the grate on my smoker. I have a Brinkman upright with three grates the other to grates were going to hold some Italian sausage. What would you suggest if I cut it to fit then will have to trim about 6 inches from the end or should i cut the whole thing in half and use up to grates which will make one of the sausages go to the grill. What do ya think? What would you do?
