Numerous recipes tell the reader that the \u201cproper\u201d way to<br \/>\nbarbecue a brisket is to do so at low-and-slow temperatures for upwards of 12<br \/>\nto 18 hours. The truth of the matter is, some of the most famous barbecue<br \/>\nrestaurants in Texas take no more than 5 hours to barbecue a brisket. In fact,<br \/>\nsome very famous restaurants there \u201cbarbecue\u201d their briskets with temperatures<br \/>\nas high as 600 degrees. Aaron Franklin of Franklin\u2019s Barbecue in Austin has<br \/>\ngiven several temperatures for barbecuing brisket over the years but all of<br \/>\nthem are in the 275- to 326-degree range.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px;\">\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEj5HKIQ8-ej2r0GP8OaHQQgBswKt9Zgaa4IOnEUxKlnlVf1HkgGwdYl4rLJu2vJ_UtSRWXxhLYTq3pg1F2BsNv5uo-xMKLmZOaGc_jQEHM902Yg4RfUvyMlUbtgP_ILWreBgxPJNF7GVXE\/s1600\/Smittys+Pit.PNG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"477\" data-original-width=\"557\" height=\"274\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEj5HKIQ8-ej2r0GP8OaHQQgBswKt9Zgaa4IOnEUxKlnlVf1HkgGwdYl4rLJu2vJ_UtSRWXxhLYTq3pg1F2BsNv5uo-xMKLmZOaGc_jQEHM902Yg4RfUvyMlUbtgP_ILWreBgxPJNF7GVXE\/s320\/Smittys+Pit.PNG\" width=\"320\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>\nThe glorious barbecue smoker at Smitty&#8217;s Barbecue<\/p>\n<p>\nthat greets you when you come through the back door.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;calibri&quot;;\">If you think about it, it is kind of ridiculous to take 12<br \/>\nhours to cook a 10-pound cut of beef especially when you consider the fact that<br \/>\nan entire hog or side of beef can be perfectly barbecued in 8 hours. If you are<br \/>\ncooking 25 briskets, perhaps the extra time is needed. If you are cooking one at<br \/>\na time like we do at home, perhaps we should rethink what \u201clow and slow\u201d<br \/>\nactually means in terms of cooking barbecue. Some of the greats in Texas<br \/>\ncertainly have.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;calibri&quot;;\"><b>Myth #6 \u2013 Brisket is the Hardest Cut to Barbecue<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;calibri&quot;;\">People who believe that brisket is the toughest cut of meat<br \/>\nto barbecue have never tried to barbecue venison, beef round (a Virginia thing),<br \/>\nbeef shoulder (also a Virginia thing) or a whole hog (also a Virginia thing). The famous Texas barbecue<br \/>\ncook Walter Jetton didn\u2019t believe that brisket was the hardest meat to<br \/>\nbarbecue. In fact, he used to recommend the cut to people without experience<br \/>\ncooking barbecue because, according to Jetton, \u201cit\u2019s a self-basting cut.\u201d (from<br \/>\n<i style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">Legends of Texas Barbecue Cookbook<\/i>)<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px;\">\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiS5rFhzUAcoUZ3JYC5XB7JVcQP29xrjN_UmiRm5g9nKzDEuFBq20vUnW2Ftd2GaB29ptATc-Yi-bigOoTOGKJBNA66WaSOFChTw4ju-v3-kZWsLGsA1qwe_aU4M9AHzu2K09bdXIXAyaM\/s1600\/Kreuz2.PNG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"343\" data-original-width=\"572\" height=\"119\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiS5rFhzUAcoUZ3JYC5XB7JVcQP29xrjN_UmiRm5g9nKzDEuFBq20vUnW2Ftd2GaB29ptATc-Yi-bigOoTOGKJBNA66WaSOFChTw4ju-v3-kZWsLGsA1qwe_aU4M9AHzu2K09bdXIXAyaM\/s200\/Kreuz2.PNG\" width=\"200\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Brisket being served at Kreuz Market.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;calibri&quot;;\">In my opinion, one of the reasons people fail so often when<br \/>\nbarbecuing brisket is the plethora of ridiculous instructions found on the<br \/>\nInternet. When someone instructs you to barbecue a 10 pound brisket for 12<br \/>\nhours at 200 degrees, it should raise a big, red flag. That sounds more like a<br \/>\nbeef jerky recipe to me than a barbecue recipe. It\u2019s not the cut of meat that makes it so difficult, it\u2019s<br \/>\nall of the bad barbecue cooking methods floating around.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;calibri&quot;;\">Not only is brisket not the hardest meat to barbecue, it\u2019s<br \/>\nalso not the tastiest. Though a well barbecued brisket is delicious (think John<br \/>\nLewis Barbecue in Charleston), so is well barbecued pork, chicken, round roast<br \/>\nand chuck. I think that many Texas barbecue restaurant owners, deep down<br \/>\ninside, know that. That\u2019s why so many are now resorting to cooking prime grade<br \/>\nbrisket. At least one famous Texas barbecue restaurant, Killen\u2019s Barbecue in<br \/>\nHouston, cooks Wagyu brisket that they sell for $30.00 per pound while claiming<br \/>\nthat they make no profit from it at all. If you have to resort to the highest<br \/>\nprice grade of meat for barbecue (where the tradition is to turn low quality<br \/>\ncuts into a delicacy) to make the barbecue delicious, perhaps that cut of meat<br \/>\nisn\u2019t so great tasting to begin with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;calibri&quot;;\"><b>Myth #7 \u2013 Texas Barbecue is the Best Barbecue in the World<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;calibri&quot;;\">How many times have you read a review of barbecue in Texas<br \/>\nand it included some kind of outrageous statement such as, \u201cTexas barbecue is<br \/>\nthe best in the world!\u201d When I read things like that I think one of two things:<br \/>\neither the writer is actually a salesperson masquerading as a writer or the<br \/>\nperson writing the review hasn\u2019t eaten much barbecue in their life. The truth<br \/>\nis, you can find very tasty and exceptional barbecue in Texas. However, you can<br \/>\nfind very tasty and exceptional barbecue in Kansas City, Virginia, South<br \/>\nCarolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky and a slew of other<br \/>\nplaces. To claim that Texas barbecue is the best in the world is a far-fetched<br \/>\nfantasy. To be correct, I\u2019d say that some Texas barbecue is among the best in<br \/>\nthe world. But, I\u2019d say the same about South Carolina and Virginia. That\u2019s a<br \/>\nfact-based statement that recognizes the succulent barbecue in those states<br \/>\nwhile leaving room for other places like Texas to also have delicious barbecue.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s truth, not salesmanship or myth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;calibri&quot;;\"><b>The Truth About Texas Barbecue. What\u2019s Really Unique about It?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;calibri&quot;;\">The truth about Texas barbecue is that there are very few<br \/>\nthings about it that are unique. Like some Californians, some Texans cook<br \/>\n\u201cbarbecue\u201d by burying it in holes after wrapping it in burlap. Like<br \/>\nCalifornians, some Texans also claim to be able to barbecue steaks (west Texas<br \/>\nbarbecue). Texans barbecue brisket much like people in Kansas City barbecue it.<br \/>\nThe barbecue sauces in Texas aren\u2019t much different from the sauces you find all<br \/>\naround the South. Serving barbecue with only a vinegary hot sauce on the side<br \/>\nas they do at Kreuz isn\u2019t confined to Texas. It\u2019s done in North Carolina, too<br \/>\nand is probably more of a \u201cNorth Carolina thing\u201d than a \u201cTexas thing.\u201d Rubs<br \/>\nmade with only salt and pepper are old hat in Virginia. King\u2019s Barbecue in<br \/>\nPetersburg has been in business for 70 years. They serve delicious Virginia-style<br \/>\nbarbecued beef (not briskets) that they season with a rub made with only salt<br \/>\nand pepper. Texans cook their barbecue using white oak (called post oak in<br \/>\nTexas and in Virginia for as long as I can remember) just like many southerners.<br \/>\nThere is even a district in my county in Virginia named Post Oak. My Mother&#8217;s family is from an area named White Oak.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: &quot;calibri&quot;;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;calibri&quot;;\">It\u2019s also a centuries old tradition in the South to eat barbecue with your<br \/>\nfingers. That\u2019s not just a \u201cTexas thing\u201d and was a \u201cVirginia thing\u201d and a<br \/>\n\u201cNorth Carolina thing\u201d for well over 200 years before it ever became a \u201cTexas<br \/>\nthing.\u201d Barbecue served on butcher paper has also been done outside of Texas<br \/>\nfor a long time. Barbecue restaurants and stands in Kansas City have been<br \/>\nserving barbecue on or wrapped in butcher paper at least as far back as the<br \/>\nlate 19<sup><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">th<\/span><\/sup> century when the Father of Kansas City barbecue Henry<br \/>\nPerry opened his barbecue stand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;calibri&quot;;\">Texas lacks its own barbecue stew. Virginia has Brunswick<br \/>\nstew. South Carolina has barbecue hash. Texas lacks a defining barbecue sauce<br \/>\nflavor profile. Eastern North Carolina has its undiluted vinegar with salt and<br \/>\npeppers. Virginia has its spiced sauces of the central region and the tangy<br \/>\nsauces with a hint of mustard in the southside. Texas lacks a true brisket<br \/>\nburnt ends tradition like that found in Kansas City. When I visit Texas, I miss<br \/>\nbarbecue sandwiches with coleslaw on them. The lack of these things is not<br \/>\nnecessarily a bad thing; it\u2019s a Texas thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;calibri&quot;;\">One of the most unique things about Texas barbecue is a<br \/>\npopular magazine that devotes reams of paper, gallons of ink and uncountable<br \/>\nnumbers of electrons producing lavish and glowing praise on barbecue found in<br \/>\nthe state or at least in one part of Texas. Texas is a huge state but it only<br \/>\nhas four barbecue styles found in four regions: Eastern Texas with its<br \/>\nsouthern-style barbecue, Central Texas with its butcher shop-style barbecue, South<br \/>\nTexas with its Mexican-style barbacoa, and the cowboy \u2018que of West Texas.<br \/>\nHowever, all of the styles of barbecue found in Texas are mostly ignored by the<br \/>\n\u201cpress\u201d except central Texas-style barbecue. One wonders why there is a<br \/>\nnoticeable lack of pride in the other styles. I have some ideas about it but<br \/>\nthey are for another post.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px;\">\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhsPxEfvoCWIwFwq8XPo9K83pel0qnrB3HbjR4jt980IGsGn90S3HkuCD62OWiq9sa4G2HyadYzlEpQiWFoAeoMgTQ-w4L_hV8uJrYCvX2DWjV1sCuWa4CZ1GizxJqkFWA685HLzLrWw8g\/s1600\/Snows3.PNG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"406\" data-original-width=\"708\" height=\"183\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhsPxEfvoCWIwFwq8XPo9K83pel0qnrB3HbjR4jt980IGsGn90S3HkuCD62OWiq9sa4G2HyadYzlEpQiWFoAeoMgTQ-w4L_hV8uJrYCvX2DWjV1sCuWa4CZ1GizxJqkFWA685HLzLrWw8g\/s320\/Snows3.PNG\" width=\"320\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Pork &#8220;steaks&#8221; at Snow&#8217;s Barbecue.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;calibri&quot;;\">Some in Texas like to cut pork butts into three sections before<br \/>\nbarbecuing them. They call them \u201cpork steaks\u201d (Snow\u2019s in Lexington does this).<br \/>\nWhen I tried them, though tasty, they weren\u2019t exactly pull tender. Though the<br \/>\nsauce served at The Salt Lick is tangy reflecting its Alabama roots, many Texas-style<br \/>\nbarbecue sauces lack a pronounced tanginess. In North Carolina, some there use<br \/>\nwhat\u2019s pretty much undiluted vinegar. In Virginia, we like to tame the vinegar just<br \/>\na little with \u201cspicy condiments\u201d such as Worcestershire, mustard or tomato<br \/>\nsauce. Many Texas-style barbecue sauce makers tame the vinegar so much it\u2019s<br \/>\nhard to tell it\u2019s there. Perhaps, it isn\u2019t.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;calibri&quot;;\">Another unique feature that you can find in some Texas<br \/>\nbarbecue restaurants is the barbecue pit with an open fire at the end. The<br \/>\nfirst time I walked through the backdoor at Smitty\u2019s Barbecue in Lockhart, I<br \/>\nwas amazed, thrilled and mildly shocked to see an open fire at my feet situated<br \/>\nat the end of a barbecue pit with no fence, walls or other safety barrier to<br \/>\nprevent someone from stumbling into it. I don\u2019t know of any other state that<br \/>\nwould allow such a thing due to safety regulations. Even so, to me, the pits at<br \/>\nSmitty\u2019s barbecue are nothing less than national treasures and shrines to<br \/>\nbarbecue history. That\u2019s a true Texas barbecue thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;calibri&quot;;\">I\u2019m all for enjoying Texas-style barbecue. When it\u2019s done right,<br \/>\nit is delicious. However, I refuse to close my eyes and blindly accept the<br \/>\nTexas barbecue myths that are so blatantly spread nowadays by slick writers and<br \/>\nover-enthusiastic TV hosts. As they say, &#8220;Everything is bigger in Texas&#8221; and that includes their barbecue myths.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is part 2 of the post Texas Barbecue Myths.
