Use it in chili since it is dry. Then it will not matter and add a nice smokey flavor to the stew. No matter what I always find something to use my bad ones for. Just happens sometimes. I do not think anyone cooks perfect Q everytime. So don't sweat it and try again. All the more reason to do another one.

I always cook briskets hot and fast and never have a dry "pot roast" tasting brisket.
The only thing that I am doing different now than when I first started this method is that I no longer foil half way through.
I still cook at 350, and it's still done in roughly 4 hours.
I think that I've cooked a 13 pounder once - and it might have taken SLIGHTLY over 4 to cook, but certainly nothing near 8 hours.
BTW - I have stopped foiling ribs and brisket and finding that it (for me) puts out a more desireable end product.

Michael,
Occassionally we all get a "clunker", but don't give up the ship! Once in a while when I have a screw-up on a brisket, I get some beef or chicken broth and "pull" or shread the brisket, then spread it out in a disposable aluminum roasting pan and add copius amounts of the broth, cover with foil, and put in the oven for about an hour at a low temperature. I check it periodically, and as the meat soaks up the broth, I add more broth. After the meat soaks up as much of the broth as it can, I then mix in the BBQ sauce and bake it uncovered for a while at a low heat.
While it isn't what you wanted, it does make darn good sandwiches and is very moist and tender, as well as quite tasty.
Best regards,
Jeffro |

i agree bos, the bigger the brisket,the older the cow is. i like the idea of not having to spend many of hours doing a brisket if i can get it done in a fraction of the time. If i can get this method down.
So if any of you high temp guru's out there that want to share your method's, im all ears! lol. thxs michael
