How Goldee's BBQ Earned Its Spot at No. 1 in Texas — Smoke Point

beef brisket

🥗Healthier: lean cuts of beef

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

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

At 7:00 AM, touch up the briskets to ensure they look nice.

Trim the briskets if necessary, checking for excess fat or poor shaping.

Season the briskets with a mixture of 16 Mesh pepper, seasoned salt, and table salt.

Load the briskets into the smoker, separating larger briskets from smaller ones for even cooking.

Place the largest briskets against the walls of the smoker, where it's hotter, to protect them from burning.

Do not wrap the briskets until they are done cooking, which will be around 8:00 PM.

Once done, wrap the briskets in foil and let them rest to soften the bark without creating a pot-roasty taste.
