Dear Americans....

And this.

Now THIS is what a properly peppered brisket looks like! Maybe you Texans know a thing or two about brisket after all

Low n slow...

What temp do you smoke at? White oak or something else?

About 180 using my hand as a temp gauge and live oak is what I have to smoke with...ultra low....ultra slow. But only for 6 to 8 hours because I'm not huge on thick bark and brisket stops accepting smoke after 160 degrees internal temp has been reached. I mitigate some of the work by foil wrapping it and running it at 250 in the oven for about 4-6 hours which also limits some of the extreme barking vs keeping it in the smoker. It should vibrate like jello when you poke at it with a finger when it's done. The tip is the proof test of your work. I'd rate my briskets 7 or 8 out of 10 most times. Better than most, but not as good as the best I've had.

For around 9k I can travel to your place in the continental US and build you one of these bad boys.

you'd need a permit to build it, another to own it, and another to use it here. SMH. "freedom" isn't allowed here.

Definitely one of those times when the picture doesn't match the perception of what I thought you would look like at all. Unless you got 2' of hair tucked up in that santa hat.

My design isn't a permanent fixture so you could disassemble it before the Ratterson family next door knows what hit them.
