brisket is the most overrated cut of meat imo. I'm pretty handy on the bbq and can do a good brisket but spending more money and 12hrs of my time is just pointless. can get as good results with many cheaper cuts, like this, in way less time. i usually go for a tomohawk when I want a treat. give it a coffee rub and smoke it low for 3 hours....fuggen handsome!
