I just got home from an apple orchard in westwern Wi.. I got to talking to an older guy from Plano Texas. He gave me a brisket sauce recipe. I am going to try today after the bad boy is done around 4! The sauce is as follows: 1Cup of Cherry Coke, 1 Cup of ketchup, 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar, 1 teaspoon liquid smoke, 1 teaspoon onion flakes, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 Tablespoon fresh ground black pepper. Mix all above and put to a saucepan on med heat until simmers. Simmer for 6-8 minutes then let cool and serve or refrigerate for later use. Sounds good i will post results later today!

Well, how did it taste??

Tasted great! I found a similar recipe in a BBQ. book @ Barnes and Noble that had root beer instead of cherry coke and also included 1/4 cup of worchester sauce...other than that basically the same. The sauce was just right for spices and not too thick.

Sounds great. Did you rub your brisket w/spices before you put it in the pit? Or did you do it w/o spices? Then hit it w/the recipe? Curious minds would love to know.

Thanks

Just me, but with all the "smoke" on the brisket, I leave out LS every time I see it. If I want the sauce smoky, I just put it in the smoker for a while and turn up the smoke.

Other than THAT, let us know.

i did rub before going in with a light dusting of durkee's steak dust. Good point about the LS Smokin, I guess I never thought about the smoky flavor of just the brisket, I was eager to make the sauce! I think it would be ok without it but I am not complaining about the way it tasted. It was slightly sweet with a nice tang to it, I think it would be good on any Q!
