well, i made them both yesterday, for the 2 briskets i smoked. i sampled a piece of brisket while i cutting it up- delicious. i sampled the sauce as i was pouring it into a jar- will be my sauce from now on. my BIL laughed when i told him i paid $19 for both recipes. when he tasted the brisket he said, "maybe it was worth the money afterall". he thought the sauce smelled good while it was simmering; the wife did too. i was making her so hungry last night, what with all the smells i ht her with. no matter where you were in the house you could smell mesquite, the rub, and the sauce.
