Hey everyone- I decided to go straight to expert level, and try cooking the cut of meat that terrified me the most: Brisket. At the recommendation of jfmorris I am posting a pic of the finished product.
The first time I tried to make brisket, the end product was something that could get a person charged with assault with a deadly weapon due to blunt force trauma rather than something edible.
I was ready to try again with the fireboard. I quickly learned that the gasser is really not the ideal cooker to achieve deep Smokey flavor, but what it lacked in smokiness, it made up for in juiciness. I gave some to a friend freshly after slicing it up, and his discription was "it’s like butter-meat".
It definitely lacks the smoke rings, but you can see from the pic that it is super moist and juicy. I got nothing but compliments from everyone who tried it (typically I am the harshest critic) and all in all I was pleased with the end product.
