    Smoked my 3rd Brisket... Point section tender; Flat section rubbery???

    So I was mad when I started slicing but I sliced all the flat. I took yalls recommendations and tossed the slices of flat in the crock pot. I saved the juices from the initial unwrapping and tossed it in with the meat. It tenderized and tastes great. Thanks for yalls help.

    Franklins BBQ

    I visited Franklin's BBQ about 2 months ago. I got there at 8am and was 27th in line. By noon I had my brisket and was tearing it up. I enjoyed the food but the wait isnt for everyone.
