Texas isn't the South. Texas is Texas. BBQ doesn't have to be from the south, considering the best BBQ is from Texas.

Bull. shite.

You Texas people really do think everything about that state is the best in the world. Lol.




I loved in SC for three years. I loved it, but BBQ in that state sucks arse. I have lived in Arkansas, too. Beautiful state. Great pork. Their brisket sucks arse, and you can't find beef ribs. Decent pork ribs.

I am sorry it hurts your feelings, but pork is easy to smoke. It's great, but it's easy as hell. With brisket, everything has to be right. You have to prepare the meat right, you've got to have excellent wood and good flow. You've got to carve it right. And, maybe most importantly, you've got to pull it out of the smoker at the right time. There are so many ways to screw it up. But if you learn to do it right, it's the best damn food on the planet.

DONY EVER ORDER BRISKET OUTSIDE OF TEXAS


You're crazy. Bob Gibson's in Decatur, Al has amazing brisket.



It's pretty good. I've had some great brisket outside of Texas. In Tennessee, South Carolina and Alabama. Texas does beef right but when it comes to brisket, it's hit or miss, even in Texas, like every where else

there is absolutely no real difference between smoking a brisket and a whole shoulder other than trimming the brisket.

It's not all equal. The Texas Monthly top 50 list is a good guide. I highly recommend you try some beef ribs.


I like Moon's, which is a little dive about thirty minutes outside of College Station.

That's simply not true. Really, my friend, it's not.

I have to remember that. I work in Manning a couple days a year.

It is good. My mom is from Turbeville and when I'd spend summers on my grandparent's farm we'd drive to either McCabe's in Manning or Country Cousin's (no longer there) in Scranton to get BBQ.

I hate to say it because I've been in probably 300 bbq contests cooking against Chris Lilly from Bob Gibsons, but Gibson's is a damn strong bbq joint.

(I'm not a fan of their white sauce, but a whole lot of people love it.)

I think this is generally true, with one caveat: there are places in Texas where the brisket is almost always excellence. And most places outside of Texas the brisket is always shite.

I can't even fathom this. Why do you think brisket so often sucks at BBQ places outside of Texas? If it was as easy as pork, it should be as consistently easy to find good brisket as it is to find good pork. But it's not even close.

I think the most common brisket mistake is pulling the meat off at the wrong time.

as long as your smoker stays 220ish throughout the cook, all you do is make sure your bark is right and pull it off around 175-180 and wrap it. It will come up to 190 on it's on.

the biggest and most common mistake people make isn't in the smoking. they cut into too soon without letting the meat rest.

Maybe it is the quality of the beef.

175-180 is way too early for brisket.

There is no set temp. Great pit bosses go by feel. It's usually around 202.

List is absolute crap. The hub of BBQ in Tennessee?? Memphis. Where did Memphis BBQ get a lot of its influence? Same place the blues came from. The Mississippi Delta.

There are dozens of ways to do a butt. There are only a few ways to do a brisket and I bet more times than not, an amateur is disappointed. I like to experiment but I have wasted some pretty good briskets. Hell, you can put a butt in a crockpot and it's edible.

now I know you don't know anything about smoking bbq.

the proper temp is 190. you pull it off between 175-180, wrap it, toss it in either a cooler or back into your smoker as long as it is no longer at 220.

besides people cutting into too soon, which dries it out, brisket doesn't hold as well as a pork shoulder. that is why it is so inconsistent.
