Lone Star Barbecued Brisket

A fatty, tough cut of meat, brisket becomes a thing of beauty through long, slow smoking, as in this recipe adapted from The Big Book of Outdoor Cooking & Entertaining by Cheryl and Bill Jamison. Brisket should shed a lot of weight during cooking, which can only be accomplished fully in a wood-burning pit or similar homemade smoker. The Jamisons’ cut of preference is a full packer-trimmed brisket, which is the full cut with a thick layer of fat on one side.
