I won't let yall down.

I'm gonna need some info from yall too on how yall do your BBQ. I know brisket is the go to in Texas ( assuming this is true ) I've never cooked one, I tend to stick to pork and chicken when I'm smoking.

How do yall do your bbq?

Smoke it over a long period in the biggest pit you can find.

Youtube Franklin's how-to for smoked brisket. It's a great starting point for Texas brisket. Easy to follow, and you can make tweaks as you please to make it your own.

Low and slow in a stick burner. Carefully tended and many beers enjoyed.

Low N slow. I like to stay around 225-235. You gotta keep it moist and pull when the internal is ~195-205. Don't get worried when you hit the ~170 wall. That's just the fat rendering.

Two things:

the crust is the key thing that separates a great brisket from a work class brisket. The crust should be about an 8th of an inch, crusty, and full of flavor.

Let it rest, very slowly. Usually about 1.5 hrs to bring it to temp.

While important, plenty of bad Que had decent crust. Its about turning a tough meat in butter.

Agreed. But I was referring to a brisket that had been otherwise perfectly executed.

Since we are talking brisket, where is the best brisket you've ever had.

For its Corkscrew BBQ in Spring, Tx (north Houston). They sell out daily and make a kick arse cobbler too.

Both Corkscrew and Killen's are pretty damn solid, number one and two in Houston for sure. Fargo's is tops in BCS IMO. Overall though I would have to go with Snow's

Lexington in between BCS and Austin just north of 21. It sells out really early so I would go up early if you ever plan on going up there.

I was driving back from a friends lake house with some people to CS for a game on a Saturday morning and we stopped. The setting is amazing too.

Snow's from the 2013 Texas Monthly list

I've never had the patience to wait in the 7 hour line at Franklin in Austin

1. Pecan lodge - Dallas
2. Stanley's - Tyler
3. Fargo's - Bryan
4. Lockhart Smokehouse - Dallas

Never had any central tx, Austin or hill country Q, so my scope is limited. Will Definitely check out corkscrew next time I'm in the Tine

My favorite is City Market in Luling.
We used to stop in there when we played hs baseball tournaments in Luling. I miss that place.
