Smoking it is the best way to cook it.

Also one of the trickiest. You probably need to have a dedicated rig
and be a fair hand with using it before trying that.

For a rank amateur, I recommend an oven prep.

Thanks,

Yes, I know my method isn't a traditional Texas BBQ brisket, but it
comes out incredibly tasty and tender each and every time. And we got
the recipe in Texas, so I don't want to hear any yapping! LOL
It is also easy and near fool proof. I always serve it with mashed
potatoes and cole slaw.
