Brisket. No foiling.

[ahakohda]

Always been smoking brisket with BBQ rub and foiling.
This time around I did Texas style and no foiling. Hickory chunks were today's wood of choice.
My 18" WSM not big enough so brisket is always cut in half.
Auber PID kept temperature at around 250F beginning 1pm.
Both parts were ready at almost exactly 13 hours.
Can't wait to try burnt ends with beans))

That's a nice looking brisket. I'm almost embarrassed at asking, but Texas style is what? You mop the brisket?

Pardon my amateurish question here

I was referring to "just Salt and cracked black pepper" as a Texas style ))))
No mopping or spraying.

I did not have a big choice at Walmart. They had just one brisket available at about $62 price tag. Cut out some of the fat and plenty left as well.

Nice looking hunk-o-meat...
I've always been a Texas style guy myself but I like a bit of red pepper in my rub.
Ive had a few buddies over the years who ask why I don't foil...I ask back "you like it"...the answer is always yes to which I reply
"If it ain't broke...don't mess with it"
