new to this forum. What is the opinion on brining your brisket, if so how long?. Any receipes other than the kosher salt/brown sugar.

    Pickling salt works better than course kosher salt. It will dissolve in cold water, since it is ground finer. Can't help you on brining a brisket. I only brine pork and poultry.
