    This thread is the last bastion of life where politics of either party has not ruined the enjoyment.   If you elect me my office will see to it that this remains so.   Wait, I'm not sure where I'm going with this.

    It was one of the very first recipes I tried from the forum, shortly after receiving my first BGE.  

    If you don't know any better and read the first page of comments, you'd walk away thinking "why not" ?

    If I recall correctly it came out OK. Nobody went home hungry.  Of course, they were all related to me, so...

    When this first hit the forum the only reasonably priced briskets I was working with were flats.  Needless to say I learned a lot with those cooks.  As I recall thru the fog of time, I substituted a flat and did not toss into the braise until thru the stall ( figured another option to keep it moist).  Turned out okay but I thought too salty ( blaming the Allegro).  It was a "one-off" like some test runs of various brands of lump.  Judgement comes from experience, experience comes from poor judgement.  FWIW-

    How do y’all think this will work on a choice flat?  Should I even bother?

    If it is a flat try Travis style, in my opinion flats do not have enough fat and tend to be very dry.
