Do you put sauce on BBQ brisket?
I've never even had BBQ brisket, but I've got a 7 pound flat cut that
I'm making this weekend. I was going to use the recipe from Cook's Illustrated. It's brined, then a simple rub of salt, pepper and sugar. Then smokes in the grill for 3 hours, then finishes in the oven for 1 1/2 hours. There's no sauce, I just wanted to make sure that it's supposed to be that way. |

I don't, but this place does, and they're famous for it: http://www.dinosaurbarbque.com/ The place is packed every night of the week. Make it however you want. |

Do you put sauce on BBQ brisket?
Hey thanks for the quick reply.
I just wasn't sure if there was an "authentic Texas BBQ brisket," and if so, is it covered in sauce or just a rub. Maybe after I slice it, I'll put sauce on half. |

It's supposed to be however you like it! If you want sauce, simmer some and serve it on the side. gloria p |

Done right, no sauce is needed. Sometimes I'll put some on a sandwich, never on the meat as it cooks though. I also like it cold on a sandwich with mayo and horseradish. |

I like a little sauce with it; mostly to dunk the bread in (squishy white bread.) No sauce on the meat unless you want to add some at the table. You're doing it OK, but it may not be tender yet after only 4 1/2 hours of cooking. Usually, whole untrimmed briskets are smoked for at least 12 hours. But I've finished them in an electric roaster occasionally. Bob |

Remember, the term BBQ or barbeque is used both for the sauce and the grilling process, but only because most people associate barbequeing with the grill. Cooking on a grill is properly called "grilling", not barbequeing. Of course, none of this should be taken too seriously. But I have trouble with calling something cooked with a rub "barbeque", no matter how tasty it may be. Years ago, I had some of the best barbeque in the world several times at a restaurant in Karnes City, TX called "Smoliks" (sp?). People came from miles away (I came several times from San Antonio, 70 miles away) just to eat there. And it was only open for lunch! He was written up in "Great Chefs of the Southwest" and they did a PBS special on him and others. The place was basically a butcher shop in an old Quonset hut (how many of you know that that is?) with a "restaurant" in the back. The floor was concrete, the tables were old wooden picnic tables, and they served your brisket or sausage (the only meats they served) on a piece of butcher paper. You bought it by the pound. At the back, where they served you, were bowls of sliced onions, jalpeno peppers, next to the restaurant silverware holders where you grabbed your silverware to take back to your picnic table. Oh yes, and all the Wonder Bread you could eat! (The only time I enjoyed Wonder Bread since I was a kid). And the barbeque was served "Texas Style", which means on the side, in this case, in a cardboard container like a lot of restaurants use to serve French Fries. If you'd called the brisket "barbeque" at Smoliks, they'd have laughed you out the door. Barbeque is the sauce served with the meat. Other places, of course, the barbeque is already put on the meat, often mistakenly put on the meat before cooking, which is almost a guarantee that it will be burned. Sorry about the reiminiscing, I just can't think about barbeque without thinking about Smoliks again, which makes my mouth water! As for how you're cooking it, the terms are not all that important. It's how it tastes that matters the most! |

It seems the majority agree on a dry rub, then smoking at 225-250 for 1 1/2 hours per pound, with sauceserved on the side for those who want it. So I'm not going to use the Cook's Illustrated method. I was going to use my gas grill with hickory chips, but I may use my friend's smoker. |

Mich@, I've only had brisket a handful of times but I'd certainly try it first without sauce and if that didn't delight the taste buds I'd apply some. Same strategy I apply to Philly cheesesteaks! Have you decided on sliced or shredded for sandwiches? What about coleslaw? More fly in your BBQ brisket ointment. Good luck, Andy |

(thread drift alert!!!) A few years ago a new friend was bragging about how good his ribs were. Of course he said he used a weber gas grill. I didn't laugh but he could tell by the look on my face I wasn't impressed. He asked what was better and I briefly explained and told him to do a little googling and get back to me if he wanted to give my smoker a try. Shortly after he decided we needed to have a party at my house and he would bring and smoke ribs. He showed up with pages of printed off stuff he'd googled AND about 5 different bottles of sauces he'd purchased. I asked him if there were more than the 15 people coming I knew about? I shrugged and said "you'll see." He used a rub he'd found and practiced a new trick he read about that involved removing the membrane. I spent about an hour with him teaching basic fire tending skills including how to feel smoke and he was off and running. He was so obsessed trying to prevent dips and spikes that he sat in a chair next to the smoker for the whole 5-6 hours. Meantime his kids tore my house up. <sigh> When the ribs passed the snap test he pulled one off and tried it. His comment was: "Lou, now I see." When they left I sent all the sauces back with him. Nobody used any. His ribs were perfect and he still claims to be the BBQ king of our group. Unlike saladgud, now he knows what BBQ is. Lou |

Near the Oakland/Berkeley border. I will eventually be able to afford a real smoker, but in the meanwhile, I am stuck with my boyfriend's gas grill. I know, I know, but I am a total newbie to even cooking meat, so I consider the utterly moist chicken I just roasted to be a triumph, and real barbecue is so far just an aspiration. I would, however, do the buying if someone who knew their stuff would let me come over and learn how to do it up right.

I haven't bbqed since my weber died of old age and the kids bought hubby a gas job.... but since you did a good chicken on it, do your Thanksgiving on it. For me, a 12 pounder only took 2 hours and it's my preferred way to cook. The meat has a light smokey flavor to it, everything is evenly cooked (white meat is still moist and juicy, dark is cooked through) and best of all the carcass is evenly browned! > >I would, however, do the buying if someone who knew their stuff >would let me come over and learn how to do it up right. > If getting real lump wood charcoal was as easy as picking it up from the grocery store, I'd probably have a real wood smoker too. -- History is a vast early warning system Norman Cousins |
