Brisket. Who doesn't love it?
It's the quintessential BBQ cut - just ask anyone from Texas.
Now there are a million ways to go about making a great brisket - from seasoning, to, injecting, to temperature, to time, to wood type, to smoker type, to wrapped vs unwrapped and if wrapped what is it wrapped in, and so much more - one thing is for sure - good brisket is more than just good!
Today, however, we're talking about one thing - to wrap or not to wrap. To me, there are very few pit-masters that know brisket better than Aaron Franklin. I had the pleasure of going to his restaurant outside of Austin, TX and I must say, the Brisket lived up to the VERY high bar I had set (and then some)! He is something of a living legend when it comes to Texas BBQ, and he has put out a great video on just this very thing. So, I leave it for you to decide. Here it is, for your viewing pleasure . . .

Like the image? That's a Brisket (the flat is showing here, I cut off the point after smoking in order to keep them separate for guests that wanted to keep the fat and lean slices separate) I did on my smoker at 225 for about 13 hours after injecting first with a Grill Sergeant Flavor Injector, supplementing the smoke with a Grill Sergeant Smoke Grenade and wrapping in foil at about 165 until it hit 203. . .
