Here's a recipe for real Texas brisket barbecue (not that commie pork stuff that passes for barbecue in these parts [North Carolina]).

And, please, barbecue is a noun, not a verb:

One fresh brisket with the fat (not corned beef), any weight.

Marinade in Allegro's cajun seasoning overnight.

Cook fat side down in a big turkey pot (covered) for about four hours (for eight pounds or so) at 250 degrees. You've got to slow cook it, don't rush.

Finish very briefly on the grill, fat side down, and apply Stubb's spicy bbq sauce.

Remove from grill and slice fat off bottom first, then slice in wafer-thin (Monte Python style) slices perpendicular to the grain.

Serve with a loaf of Wonder bread, pickles, real sharp cheddar cheese and a bucket of beer.

And, go Dawgs.
