There is no place like Texas for Meskin food, bbq, and pretty women, especially women!!! Maybe where you’re at but the meskin food here is terrible. No kidding? Nope, i haven’t had any that can touch the food in NM. I've always wanted to go to NM just to try some of those dishes with the Hatch Chiles that you see on TV food shows every once in a while. Stuff looks delicious. Other than at home - the best BBQ I've had was at Hodie's in Dalhart, TX. Come to northern NM or southern CO for the best Mexican food. WAY different from southern NM/ west TX.

Umm, it may be different , but the Mexican food in southern NM is excellent.

No place but Texas for bbq. We use mesquite wood, cook on pits made of steel. We don’t use grills or pellet smokers. Built this one last summer Springfield, MO has City Butcher, and I’ll put there bbq against antibodies. But, they’re from Texas... $18/lb for burnt ends. They’re worth at least $20. Salt. Pepper. Smoke. Everybody around here raves about KC bbq, I’ve decided I’m not a fan. Over sauced meat. Hurts because it’s my “local” style. Hope to get to Snows before she kicks the basting bucket. Met her at a BBQ festival back in 2015. Nice old gal. Her bbq is legendary. Wife’s family is local to Snow’s, 20 miles away, but they haven’t been in 20 years. Don’t want to wait the 3 hours in line to get it. Used to eat at the Hard 8 in Stephenville back when baby sister was playing ball at Tarleton. Free beans and beer but they made up for it on the meat. It was good though. I’ve worked in Stephenville over the years, once was 30 days straight, Hard 8 was on our regular “circuit”. Only place I’ve been asked if I wanted my 1/2 smoked chicken ‘dunked’. Huh? Oh, you mean dunk the whole damn thing in a 5 gallon stainless bucket full of melted butter. Of course I want it dunked.

I have a smoker and I make some pretty stellar BBQ brisket. As others have stated, it's not the sauce, but the wood you use in your smoker. You should also use a smoker with an offset fire box. I don't particularly like mesquite - tastes a bit like turpentine IMO. The key is to mix yer wood. I generally smoke a brisket for 1 hr./lb., so a 12 lb. brisket will be on the smoker for 12 hrs. (low and slow ~ 220°). I start by rinsing the brisket, patting it dry and then using a dry rub - none of this basting crap - cook the brisket fat-side up and it bastes itself. I then make the fire (do not use lighter fluid of any kind or it will ruin the flavor of the meat) with a mixture of hickory and white oak, but a bit heavier on the hickory. After about 3-4 hrs. or slightly more, when I think a good smoke ring has formed, I'll wrap the brisket in foil throwing in 1-2 quartered jalapenos - I do this because if I leave it unwrapped for any longer, the smoke flavor can become overpowering. After wrapping the brisket - I use straight white oak. Mixing white oak and hickory also limits the power of any one wood. White oak is more benign. Mesquite, pecan, hickory, apple wood, will impart a very strong flavor if it's not tempered with another wood. As an example, a Bud of mine once smoked a brisket for 14 hrs. using only pecan wood. I asked him how it was and he said he schidt pecan fire the entire next day. Since I have no desire to schidt pecan fire, I haven't attempted to recreate the feat.
I have also smoked unwrapped using straight white oak for ~12 hrs, with excellent results. And when I don't feel like tending a fire for 12 hrs., I'll sometimes throw it in the oven (in a large roasting pan), after 4 hrs. of smoking, to finish (at 220°). Do you have it wrapped in tinfoil when you finish it in the oven?

jaguartx: it's not necessary to wrap the brisket if yer roasting pan has a tight-fitting lid. Putting the brisket in the oven after 3-5 hrs. of smoking really cuts down on the hassle of maintaining the fire for hrs. & hrs. but you will need to add some water (or beef broth) and check the level every so often. You can also toss in some crushed garlic cloves. Don't forget a large quartered fresh Jalapeno as well.
hanco: try a mixture of ~ 1/3 Hickory and 2/3 white oak - just eyeball the ratio - it's not critical. 1/2 & 1/2 will also work well. I think you may like hickory better than Mesquite. Academy Sports generally has bags of white oak, hickory and mesquite if you have trouble sourcing wood.

I never thought to try the white oak before. We have mesquite and pecan at the deer lease. Is Live Oak any good for bbq?

hanco: nice smokers there... I've never tried Live Oak. Angelo's in Fort Worth uses white oak and they have some of the best brisket extant.
Did you use an arc welder on those or a mig?

Miller 250 arc welder, could use a wire machine at times, especially on thin metal. It be nice to have a plasma cutter also. I’m old, no use buying that stuff now.
