UPS takes too long. I would FedX it but Tom Hanks might sniff it out. No, I didn't try the recipe. I will give my secret though. Marinate the meat all night in Italian Dressing with a good brisket rub. Cook slowley over Oak to start with then add Mesquite or Pecan wood. My BBQs take 4-6 hrs of cooking. Oh yeah, turn it and baste it about every 20-30 min. Don't let the flames come in contact with the meat. My pit is about 8ft long. Mike, sorry about the thread drift. But enquiring minds want to know.[]
