Cook's Notes

Smoker Method Variation: To smoke beef brisket, prepare charcoal or gas smoker according to manufacturer’s directions. Combine barbecue sauce and wine in small saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 7 to 8 minutes or until reduced to 1 cup, stirring frequently. Reserve 1/2 cup barbecue sauce for serving. Prepare rub as above; press evenly onto beef brisket. Smoke brisket according to manufacturer’s instructions and cooking times or until fork-tender, brushing occasionally with remaining barbecue sauce. Carve brisket as above. Serve with reserved sauce.

	Reviewed by Anonymous on 12/20/11 This is not true bbq. There is no smoke introduced in the cooking process. This should renamed to BBQ Sauce Braised Brisket.

	Reviewed by Anonymous on 12/16/11 Best brisket ever!! Next time I will make in the crockpot. I did make a couple of substitutions since I was out of some stuff. I used cooking sherry instead of the red and it was perfect. I was also out of chili powder so I used williams chili seasoning mix as the rub. I made more of the sauce and thinned it just a bit more with water before cooking. I used KC masterpiece original BBQ sauce. This tasted amazing! I'm going to make it this weekend in the crockpot with a porkroast to make BBQ pork sandwiches.
