Canadians grill and northerners smoke fish and jerky but southern
style BBQ never became popular here, which is a shame. Maybe it's
because we don't have native hardwoods here, just expensive little
bags of wood chips from the store. But we've heard about it of
course thanks to cable TV and the Internet. Some of us have tasted
it during southern vacations.

But one my nephews has recently acquired a Big Green Egg and several
bags of charcoal and wood chips and is learning how to use it. In
the last three weekends we have been invited over for pulled pork
shoulder, Texas style brisket and smoke roasted chicken dinners.
We bring sides, and homemade bread and desserts of course. Life is
good.

I'm not sure exactly what he used for a rub and a mop but the
brisket sure was good; he ran a little hotter and was finished in
about 6 hours.

Title: Fearing's Texas Barbecue Brisket
Categories: Bbq, Beef, Texas, Beer
Yield: 12 Servings

1 Beef brisket (8 to 12 lb)
-trimmed
1 batch Mansion barbecue
-spice mix
1 Recipe Beer mop sauce

Use a whole packer trimmed brisket.

The day before you want to serve the dish, pat the Mansion Barbecue
Spice Mix liberally all over the brisket. Place the meat in a plastic
trash bag and refrigerate it, preferably overnight.

The next morning, remove the brisket from the refrigerator. Either
pre-heat the oven or the barbecue pit to 210 F. Place the brisket
on a rack in a roasting pan or directly into the pit on the
opposite side of the firebox making sure the trim side is up. to
ensure basting juices. Maintain the temperature of the oven or
barbecue pit between 180 and 220 F until the brisket is well done,
about 1 to 1 1/2 hours per pound. Baste with the beer mop sauce
every hour or so. When the meat is done remove it from the
oven/barbecue pit and let it sit for 20 minutes. Then cut the
fatty top section away from the leaner bottom portion. Trim the
excess fat from both pieces and slice against the grain.

Serve with barbecue sauce on the side.

Mansion barbecue spice mix: 2 Tbsp paprika, 1 Tbsp chili powder,
1 tsp coriander, ground, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp ground
cumin, 1/2 tsp curry powder, 1/2 tsp dry mustard, 1/2 tsp black
pepper, 1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
