🥗Healthier: lean cuts of beef

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Pork shoulder is often less expensive and can be used for similar smoked dishes.

Start with a 17 lb piece of Choice Walmart grade brisket.

Apply a layer of lard to the brisket to help spices stick and render fat.

Season one side of the brisket with kosher salt, black pepper, and onion powder.

Flip the brisket and season the other side with the same spices, rubbing them in well.

Prepare the Barrel Cooker by lighting the charcoal and adding a piece of Post Oak wood.

Wait 15-20 minutes for the fire to establish before placing the brisket on the grill.

Place the brisket fat side down in the cooker, tucking it in to fit.

Close the lid of the cooker to stabilize the temperature.

After about 1 hour and 15 minutes, prepare the mop sauce and keep it warm on top of the cooker.

Mop the brisket with the sauce, ensuring to cover it well.

Let the brisket cook for two more hours, then turn it and mop again.

Do not mop the brisket anymore after the second mopping.
