Good beef brisket is smoked
for 16 hours at a low
tempurature to render it
tender and moist. At the
2005 Evergreen State BBQ
Championship in Seattle we
recieved our first 1st place
in brisket. In 2008 at the
Jack Daniel's World
Championship Invitational
Barbecue, our beef briskiet
took 6th place out of 78
champion teams from
around the World.
Ever since humans discovered "fire", man has been
grilling and barbecuing meat to stay alive! This primal
need is deeply embedded within us. Thousands of years
later, cooking meat over wood (or charcoal) continues to
take place as a daily ritual in every part of the world. In
the U.S., it is less a need than just a passion for good
cooking.
Most people confuse grilling with barbecuing. Grilling
takes place over direct fire. It is fast and hot.
Barbecuing (smoking) takes place over an indirect fire,
lower temperatures, and takes a much longer time. "Low
and Slow." It is the only way to cook tough meats like
brisket and have them come out tender and moist. Good
barbecue takes time!
