This recipe requires careful temperature management and patience. The key to perfect brisket is maintaining consistent low heat while developing a beautiful bark on the exterior.
Remember that brisket is done when it feels like butter when probed, not necessarily at a specific temperature. Trust the feel over the thermometer for the best results.
