Question on Travis' Brisket Method
Options

Posts: 67
I know there are tons of threads on this, but cant seem to find this. I am still pretty new, so these may be dumb questions to you experts. But, what you guys recommend using for a liquid other than the Allegro? My wife and kids dont like hot and spicy stuff. I was just going to use a can of beef broth, but would you recommend anything better/different. Also, another dumb question, but I dont drink Shiner bock, or any dark beers for that matter. Would use a can of plain old Bud Light work for the beer? I am looking forward to trying this method, but I want to tweak it a little, but any comments or suggestions on these questions would be appreciated! Thanks !

The beer doesn't matter and you can use almost any liquid marinade instead of allegro. (Small caveat, I think something like dales would be too salty)Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

Thanks Travis. Anything you would recommend instead of just beef broth. I don't want it to be too plain, but not to hot and spicy at the same time. I figured I couldn't go wrong with beef broth, but any other suggestions!

I used the original Allegro not the hot and spicyLife is short,love what you do or do something else

Allegro has many different kinds of marinades. I'd try one of them.Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

Awesome. Thanks guys. Last question. I am not familiar with Allegro at all. Can you pick that up at any major grocery store like Dillons(Kroger) Hyvee, Walmart?? Or is it a specialty product?

Publix, Bilo, Kroger, Ingles in the Southeast. They never have a big section of it...typically close to the 'specialty marinades' (read not KC Masterpiece).Anderson, SC

I hear liquid smoke is actually made from real, bona fide smoke.

I use citrus- usually pineapple or sour orange and achiote in varying degrees in mine. Those are fun to play with.Thanks!Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX
