[QUOTE="EastTNHunter, post: 5762309, member: 8364"] You will find lots of good opinions from different people. Funny thing is, they all may be “right.” Try a few things out and decide what you like best. One thing I will say… try several different meats before tackling a brisket. Briskets are more expensive and can be more “picky” to get right. And don’t Texas crutch a brisket, as it can turn out similar to a roast, which isn’t bad, but isn’t as good as a regular brisket. Some may disagree. I like butts wet brined as well as well as dry brined. They are both just different, I don’t think either is better or worse. I do not like wrapping them while on the smoker (Texas crutch), as it messes up the bark. But I do double wrap in foil and towels in a cooler after taking it off, let it rest for 2-3 hours. Smoking chickens is nice, and I like to stuff them with onions and apples like a thanksgiving turkey. I also like smoking chicken thighs instead of wings. Cheaper, meatier, and more flavorful. Try different rubs and sauces. Look up 3-2-1 ribs and try one of the many variations of that. They are great, even if some “purists” don’t like the method. I like smoked stuffed backstrap, smoked roast, and have smoked turkeys for thanksgiving even though I don’t like turkey… my family loved it. [/QUOTE]
