Brisket

Back before I got serious about competitive BBQ James and Lola Rice of Hico Texas were winning and winning big. In 2002 I won Rookie of the year in the Pacific Northwest. My prize was to attend the Rice's KCBS BBQ school at a famous pit builder in Houston on February 1, 2003. The pit builder who can build good pits shall remain nameless for making his pits too complicated. BTW Another student at the class was Guy Fieri, we ended up cooking a fajitas dinner for everyone. That is where I learned to cook Brisket. It's also were I learned that a long list of famous Texas Pitmasters have a strong preference for KCBS. KCBS has a strong culture of education.

Here are my ALL my Brisket results since 2004. I don't cook many contests, I just win a lot.

3rd Brisket, BBQ Championship of Montana (Qualifier) 2010

3rd "Cruzin' to Colby" - Washington State Championship (Qualifier) 2004

5th Roc City Ribfest, NY State Championship (Qualifier) 2010 Ribs

5th Pike Place Market, WA State Championship (Qualifier) 2008

There are two secrets to Brisket knowing what you are doing and why. Listening to Julia and start with quality ingredients. I don't care what you do starting with inferior meat will give you inferior results. Choice or higher Angus is a good start.

'Que on,
