For the one out there in Eggland that have Pit Barrel Cooker have you ever cooked a brisket on one?  If so, please give me the details such as vertical or horizontal, how long, and how did it turn out?  I like my Egg but curious to try a new way to cook.  Thanks!

    I have not tried a brisket but I know their website has a recipe.  Can't recall if a flat or not but if a flat then okay but if a packer the cook time would likely require a fuel reload.  FWIW-

    I have cooked a few on the PBC. They turn out just like one cooked on a BGE or WSM. With that said, I much prefer to lay them on a grate instead of hanging them. Brisket takes so long to cook that the end hanging closest to the fire gets a little to crisp for my liking. Simply use a grate in your PBC and problem solved.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.
