Like the potato nails used to speed up the cooking process, has anyone used a “nail” for briaket?

    sounds like you would need a LOT of nails for that intended purpose.  I don't think it would make any real difference when you are doing L&S over many hours.

    I could be off by miles, but I don’t think the end result would be consistent or what you would want with a brisket. A potato is a very consistent in structure. It has no fat or connective tissue. It’s one uniform mass that lends itself to very even cooking.  And by comparison, a potato is very, very small.
    A brisket is the exact opposite. It’s very large, it contains a ton of fat and connective tissue, it’s a couple of different un uniform muscles.
    With all the above said, I don’t know it to be a fact. It’s just my hunch and intuition. Maybe someone here has tried it and can offer a first hand opinion. It may turn out to be the new go to method. But my hunch is that it’s not feasible for brisket.

    I think it’s called foil.

    I hope someone tries it and shares their result.

    Thanks. Just paying the proper respect to the greatest President and the greatest man to walk the earth. The sole exception being Jesus Christ.
