I cooked a 16 pound HEB Choice brisket yesterday using a modified Travis method.  I put mustard,salt,pepper,Dizzy Pig redeye express on it and put in shallow pan with halved onions under it but now beer or allegro in pan.  Added 3 fair sized hickory chunks and cooked at 250 for an hour the at 300 until reached 160-165 and then wrapped in foil with apple juice in foil and moved to oven at 325.  Cooked till buttah  about 203 then left in oven with oven off for about 45 mins. Removed and opened foil to cool and cut when cool enough. We are only about 30 mins from Killens in Pearland but this was better brisket than we get there.   Am doing another today with same method to see if it was the meat or the process. today with a Kroger choice which was not as limber as the HEB one.  Also, I forgot to mention that before wrapping I sprayed with apple juice every hour.

    No better feeling than nailing a brisket. Congrats.

    Great.  Get some pics today.

    And it wasn't the meat OR the process.  It was probably the meat AND the process.
