Brisket Question

Thecoiman

I have noticed that watching a couple of TV shows and few local events where they served brisket, they have cooked in an foil pan. I have not done this, but have event coming up where brisket is to be served and wondering does the foil pan do for the cook.

I don't use pan or wrap in foil, but there are many ways to get the outcome you desire. Maybe some more folks will jump in.

Most cooking shows aren't really targeting barbecue enthusiasts/purists.

the foil pan is usually combined with a liquid of sorts and becomes a little more pot roasty, vs traditional barbecue

I usually just smoke my briskets at 250 for about an hour a pound, but this recipe does use a pan and works well. I have done it this way before as well.

Are you going to doing a full brisket or just a flat?  I've used pans with flats before to make sure that the meat won't dry out.  it isnt a traditional smoked brisket, but I'll take moist every time.
