This is the best brisket I have ever made! I made it for a family reunion and it was gobbled up in no time! Thanks so much for posting! It's the only way I will ever cook brisket again!

    Very good! Tender and juicy, full of flavor. I made as directed except for the bbq sauce. Not everybody likes it in my family so I let everyone add it to their own slices. The brisket got RAVE reviews from all. Thanks for sharing.

    This was the best brisket in the world! Buy a big brisket cause you're gonna want leftovers I promise. Do yourself a favor; buy reynolds foil bags and use kc masterpiece regular flavor. After the 5 hours cooking, scrape off the fat layer and discard. Then pour the sauce on. After the last hour cooking. cool for the 20 min., then cool covered for 30 more min., then slice and pour more kc masterpiece sauce over and reheat in 350 oven just to heat. Perfect. Great sweet bbq sandwiches the next day.

    I made this brisket for a huge family gathering for Father's Day. I followed the recipe exactly and the result was rave reviews. I have tried many brisket cooking methods and this is the best. It is an easy recipe that has splendid results. It is now my default recipe for brisket.
