Brisket

[Ben Waylin]

What wood do you like for smoking beef brisket ?

I'm using oak today.

?

I always use live oak cause that's what I have in my yard. Post oak is what black's uses but I don't have any on my property.

I like to use fresh cut, or just soak it in some water for a day so it smokes real good.

Brisket turned out great !

I would post a picture of it, but we ate it all.

I'm sure it was good.

This is an old pic so not the quality I normally would post but we did this one on a campout. I think it was apple wood. I personally prefer oak. I don't soak my chips too long, maybe an hour before. I also put them on the grill top above the heat. Especially for pork or chicken.

White oak only, preferably Missouri white oak. I make my own fat coals which is a process of burning white oak hot and liloing the fire out. You get these.

Stick that under a nice piece of cured 2 yo white oak. Get the fire to 250 and let it roll...all night long.
