| 6 | pounds | beef brisket | |
| 10 | pounds | charcoal |
If you wish, marinade the meat for additional flavor or tenderness.
A good marinade can consist of water, Worcestershire Sauce, Soy Sauce, pepper, lime or lemon juice - whatever you like!
(No Salt, though) Start 8 lbs.
of the charcoal and allow coals to develop gray ash over all before beginning to cook.
Reserve the remaining 2 lbs. for adding when needed later.
Add wood that has been soaking in water for an hour or so.
Cook the meat on a grate approx. 8 inches over the coals, adding charcoal and wood to fire as needed.
It isn't necessary to keep a heavy smoke at all times, just 1/2 of the cooking time.
Use a meat thermometer to determine doneness of meat to your preference.
If the smoker has an indicator for temperature, a low heat is fine.
Coals and wood tend to burn at lower temperatures when enclosed in a smoker.
While cooking, it is essential to baste often with the basting sauce.
Usually every 10 minutes or even less will ensure a juicy and delicious brisket.
If basting with another sauce, remember that anything containing sugar or tomato will burn, leaving a scorched flavor.
That's especially true with meats cooked over long periods of time.
Serve with the warmed barbecue sauce and breads, beans, salad or potatoes.

One of the most daunting tasks for both the professional chef and the home cook is coordinating the preparation of multiple items so that they are completed at the same time. And it doesn't matter...
This is really, really good. I made it for the first time today. I used 3/4 cup Splenda and 3/4 regular sugar. I had to add more lemon juice than this recipe called for in order for the berries to have enough juice to pour. It does make a large quart, so be forewarned.
