Thank you Mr. Tom and Smokin,
Not used to forums, I promise, I will never hijack a thread again.
Thanks for all your insight, I was not going to braise or have the brisket touching the liquid, but was just thinking of having liquid in the bottom, it would keep the enclosure plenty moist - to alleviate the moping I thought I needed to do every hour.
I will try the following: just rub, cook fat cap up on middle rack and shoot for 195 internal meat temperatures. With no mop-or-basting...
Of course will still due the brisket dance, and throw salt over the shoulder for luck...
