So much time and perfection go into creating the perfect smoked recipe dish. And did I mention patience? The smells that billow out of your smoker literally just tempt you the entire time to open that door and peek and sample. And while it may be tempting, don’t.

Especially for large cuts like beef brisket flat smoked you need time, lots of it. Not long enough and it won’t break down the connective tissues to get it tender enough. Follow the directions exactly and you’ll realize how worth it it was.
