Tacos are simple. White corn TortillaS- heat on med low to med enough vegetable oil in a medium saute pan to cover a tortilla (about 1/3 to half full) - fry Tortillas turning once until firm but still bendable - let rest on paper towels. Mix chopped brisket w some bbq sauce and heat...

I cut my point into chunks. Leftovers chopped tmrw night for brisket tacos. Kids like the tacos more than the brisket! Anyone interested in how I do them I'm happy to reply.

All done and sliced. Flavor is good though not as bold as I expected. Personally, I like a hint of salt flavor in my bark. Will definicely up it next time around. Rub is good...not a wow factor but it's solid and you can adjust to your tastes. Pics below.

If you're local in DFW come on over for samples! Just took it off and have it resting. I'll get some more pics out when I get to slicing and see how it tastes.

Looks like I have to do pics one at a time?

Good Morning Gentlemen - bit of a late start this morning but got it on my WSM at about 250-275 grate temp. Going to try to push it a little to make up time (them Sat nights can get you). As for the rub, it definitelt has a kean towards garlic when tasting it out of the shaker...I'm expecting...

I'm going to give it a try. A little apprehensive about the pepper and garlic to salt ratio as I don't want a spicy brisket. I'll let y'all know how it comes out.

Throwing a brisket on tomorrow and thinking of trying a new rub. I have a batch of Jeff's TX Style Rub (not rib rub). Has anyone tried this on a brisket? Thoughts? I haven't smoked one in a month so don't want to use it if it's overhyped.

I used it.  Wrapped in double layer of foil.  Had a cheap Brinkman's bullet smoker back in the day so I'm familiar w/ the setup.  Never thought about sand.  Smoked a brisket yesterday and heat got higher than I wanted early on and couldn't get it down enough so added water about an hour in to...

No water with this one. Read a few articles of the opinion they couldn't tell a difference and thought got a better crust w/out water...also less clean up. Doing another now and taking pics. Will be posting soon. Thanks for touching base!
