Brisket on Today Show

[tim4mel]

Did anyone see the bbq cookoff on the today show this morning. I want my brisket to look exactly like that. I've never managed to have juice just run out of mine. Anyone have any tips?

I didn't see it but if I'm reading you right, they got done, cut into it and all sort of juices came running out?

If that's the deal, don't go there. Looks great for the camera but it's very dry when eating. You'll notice a lot of folks put brisket, butts, etc. in foil and then into a cooler to let them rest for a period of time. That's so the juices redistribute back into the meat instead of spilling all over the cutting board. End result, you get to eat a mosit and flavor filled piece of meat.
