Ok. I am from TX and grew up around BBQ. Some of the specialties are sausage and especially brisket. If you look at my pics the first round of brisket was so over cooked I could not separate it with a fork and knife by pulling it. Tough ,all one color and dry as a bone. The replacement brisket was moist but unfortunately had no flavor whatsoever. WARNING this meat was not smoked. It is oven prepared and that is obvious by bark of the meat.
