Best Option for Brisket?
I have a 30" Masterbuilt Electric Smoker. First smoke was a 6.5 pounder at 14 inches wide. Eventually, I know I would love to smoke larger briskets. Whats the best option? 1. Buy 2 smaller briskets with both the point and the flat? 2. Buy a larger brisket, cut it in half? Thoughts? I'm...
