i've never made an awesome brisket. i've made a few ok briskets. this was neither. it was a lesson in humility. i am not skilled enough to take a questionable piece of meat and turn it into amazing bbq.
so please ruminate on this pic and leave your best desert puns below. but then please also leave me a good brisket chili recipe because i need one, badly.
If they had a point i would have bought it. I just didn't need a full packer. I didn't know about letting it rest in the open air. I thought it was supposed to go straight into the cooler to slow things down. Thanks for the tip!
