Why is brisket so popular?

[JckDanls 07]

I agree it's more about the challenge and prefecting it... Consistently... 10-12 hours for me and that includes a 1-2 hour rest... That's for a whole packard ...
About 5-6 hrs in the smoke
Wrap and up the temps for 3-4 hours
rest for 1-2 hours...
Eat at 1830 (6:30pm)
Share left overs with family and freinds ...

I can only speak for myself but I get equal satisfaction out of everything I do in the smoker.

But to answer the title question:
Because it's yummy.
