Brisket for a 3 year old. Sauce Question

in EggHead Forum
my Daughter’s birthday party is today. She has many friends coming to the house. Because I am a good father, I started smoking a brisket at about 11am yesterday. I have attached pictures of the adventure. 

I also have a lot of beer for them. The beer is from Tree House brewery in Sturbridge Mass. Simply outstanding. 

In the unlikely event that the children don’t like brisket and beer. I have invited their parents and a pony. 

Sauce Question. Anybody have a “go to” ingredient for sauce?  I’ve been adding celery salt which adds a nice taste. Wondering if anybody has another go to ingredient 

brisket question. Going with Travis method fat side down. I’m about 21 hours in (very low temp). I’m at 185 IT. Should I remove from pan and finish on the grid?

all comments and commentary appreciated

    Obviously I injected liquid smoke!  Who wouldn’t?

    Some are not enlightened, despite the best efforts of those who constantly praise the benefits of liquid smoke.

    No help with the sauce as I don't use it and any I offer is store bought.
    Dogs and ketchup seem to go well with kids; side of mustard for the adults.  B)
    No experience with the Travis method either so can't comment on finishing on the grid although  direct exposure to the smoke environment sounds like a benefit to me.  FWIW-

    You want liquid smoke just run your tongue inside the dome a time or two.

    Probably too late, but my go-to ingredient in the sauce is brisket drippings, after the fat has been skimmed, of course. Absolutely outstanding. And if you’re feeling like an overachiever, throw in a blended/grated apple and put the sauce on the egg for an hour or 2 to catch some smoke. You won’t be disappointed.
