Hi all. Rookie question and I have tried it before with decent results but I want to make sure that I do it right because tonight I am using Jeff's BBQ sauce recipe on a brisket that I am going to smoke tonight. I am under the impression that sauce should be added during the last half hour or so of smoking and spritzing with juice or apple cider vinegar and water should be fine. Is this true or what do you guys recommend? I want to make sure that I get the full potential of this new sauce that I am going to make and make sure that I do it justice. Thanks everyone.
 
Never got a response from anyone so I just went ahead and dry rubbed the brisket and smoked it for about 5 hours at about 265 degrees with oak chips.. I figure I'll make the sauce that I have the recipe for later in the day once I get some sleep and then add the sauce to it as I heat it back up for tonights dinner.
 
Sorry you did not get a response...You didn't say how heavy the Brisket was, so I can't comment on if you smoked it long enough. You can heat up in Jeff's sauce but because of how sweet it is you may end up burning the sauce or meat. I would suggest placing the meat in a pan with some Beef Broth, some Herbs and Spices and maybe some Wine, cover and place in a 325*F Oven. Heat until it hits an IT of 165*F or until it is tender, the therm probe penetrates easily. When done, slice it pencil thick and serve topped with Jeff's Sauce as desired...JJ
