Foil boat brisket

[old golfer guy]

Have not done a brisket in a long time so started looking for the latest and greatest way to smoke a brisket. FOIL BOAT! Sounds very interesting. Anybody have thoughts on this process of smoking a brisket? Thinking it would be almost impossible to dry it out.

BRISKET FLAT, MY WAY

It's no secret that a lot of folks have a problem smoking a small well trimmed brisket flat. I to had my struggles for a while, but a couple of years ago I found this method and have been using it ever since. So I would like to share my method with all of you. If you already are successful...

Decided not to try that on this smoke. Maybe next time if I can get some more feed back.

Chud did a video awhile back on you tube. I believe he was a fan of the boat. I'm sure there are other videos out there. How did your brisket turn out. Pictures of the process you went with?

I've done my last few brisket with the foil boat. I like it. I like paper but I always have a hard time probing for tenderness with the paper. The paper either adds some resistance or I poke through the bottom and lose my juice. Foil boat is open on top so that's never an issue and it keeps your bark on top. I'm a fan.

When I hit the stall. I'll use an aluminum foil pan with a small rack in it. The rack will help keep the brisket from sitting directly in the liquid. Add your liquid of choice put the brisket on the rack, and cover tightly. When you're past the stall remove the brisket from the pan and place it back on the smokers grate to finish. I like the pan because for me it's quicker and neater than wrapping in just foil. Plus the meat isn't off the heat for very long so the recovery is faster.
