    I’m shocked you have never cooked a brisket. Just seems like something that would have happened years ago!! 

    The cook can be addicting! Because right when you think you have it all figured out one will throw you a curve ball!

    I honestly cannot believe you've never cooked a brisket before now. Shocked. Utterly shocked.

    BTW...think of you every time we pass through Salado. Gonna pass by your way next Tuesday. Glad that stretch of the highway is finished at last.

    You can stop now. You will always have a room at my house when in the Central Texas area.

    @Mickey Can you give a description of your turbo process for a brisket?  I have always used your other methods.

    Mickey went 69 years without ever hearing that.  Now he'll never stop cooking brisket.  He'll cook it so much he'll have hair on is palms.
