And why is it me?
Okay, I know it's not really me. But this came out really nice. I need to trim more fat off next time.

They have Facebook groups for this nonsense.

Leave the fat when cooking, trim it after cooking. Removing the fat before cooking and not removing it after are equal bad calls.
Don't get me wrong, fat is delicious, but as you age the heart damage is not worth it.

Is this site really so far gone that an offseason meat smoking thread is frowned upon?

Mine looks a thousand times better than Lincoln's dry failure.

Maybe. Aaron Franklin advises trimming quite a bit.

Not in my book, but I am a fan of brisket. Seems unAmerican to not like brisket.
That said, a brisket post by a TAMU fan is just going to foster pole smoking by TAMU fans.

Damn that looks good. What sauce are you using?
Posted on 7/22/22 at 11:57 am to Captain Crown
I make one. Ketchup based with vinegar and a little brown sugar and a little of this and that.

That looks pretty damn good Hugh. Got my mouth watering a little. Good job.
ETA: I know some advise removing more fat, but I like mine just like you have it. Brisket is too often dried out, so I'd rather folks leave a little fat.

I wish it were mine or wish yours was even mine.

Although my last go was the best I have done yet on my brisket. Came out pretty moist.

I used to make my own sauce, then I found this:

If I want more of a vinegar or mustard base, I'll still whip up a sauce, but for most bbq, I now go with this.

Why does he have the bear claws? Is he shredding some of that? Why would you do that with brisket?
Please tell me he had a pork butt out of frame and he was pulling it with those.

Fat is not bad for your heart. Cholesterol repairs your arteries and veins.
Glucose/sugar damages them. The buildups occur because people keep damaging their arteries and veins, and they keep getting repaired.
In the past, they saw this cholesterol build up, so they assumed the fat was the problem. But it's turned out it's like a WWE match, where only the 2nd guy gets caught/blamed.
