Just goes to show that those Eastern boys sure know their meats and those Texas boys can barbecue just about anything, even the soles of their shoes!

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

So if ever you’re up to trying your own hand at smoking up some great brisket, here's the recipe for Texas Style Beef Brisket from the book, "Barbecue Secrets Revealed!," available at ...

http://www.Barbecue-Secrets.com

Texas Style Beef Brisket

12 -15 pound Brisket
Cajun seasoning or dry rub
Your favorite BBQ sauce
Salt and pepper

Begin by mixing together the Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper and rub into the brisket.

Get the charcoal going in the smoker and add a large chunk of hickory wood, which has soaked in water over night.

Put the meat on and keep the temperature between 150 and 250 degrees during the entire smoking cycle.

Put a water pan under the meat and add quartered potatoes, celery, onion and carrots to the water.

Cook the meat for about 3 1/2 hours in the middle of the smoker and then turn the meat so the other side is towards the firebox. Continue cooking for another 3 1/2 hours.

After seven hours of total cooking has elapsed, baste both sides with barbecue sauce and wrap the brisket in aluminum foil. Continue cooking the meat another 4 hours.

Do not let the smoker get too hot! A long cooking time at low temperatures (150-250 degrees) is what will turn that tough piece of meat tender and juicy.

After cooking for a total 10-12 hours, remove the meat and let stand for 10-15 minutes. Carve or gently pull the tender meat and it’s ready to impress your guests!

In case you're in need of a favorite Cajun rub and BBQ sauce, here are two of my favorites from the book:

Cajun “Take No Prisoners” Spice Rub

1 cup Sweet paprika
1 tsp Paprika
1 tbsp Black pepper
1 tbsp White pepper
3 tbsp Cayenne
1 tbsp Garlic powder
1 tbsp Onion powder
1 tbsp Salt
1 tbsp Rosemary

Blend spices together and rub into meat.

Amazing All Purpose Barbecue Sauce

1 cup Catsup
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 dashes Bottled hot pepper sauce
1 cup Water
1/4 cup Vinegar
1 tbsp Brown sugar
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Celery seed
1 tbsp Minced onions

Combine ingredients in slow-cooking pot. Cover and cook on low 2 to 3 hours.

Makes 2 to 2 1/4 cups sauce.

And that ought to do it!

Happy smokin'! Dusty
