    Basic Brisket Smoke

    I've been trolling this forum for the past few years and had to weigh in.  I've done two briskets about two years apart because the first was horrible (never use smoked paprika in the smoker, it gets funky all over the food) and the last one was flavorful but very chewy and stringy.  It cooked...
