i do a gin spritz at the beginning of the cook, the extra evaporative cooling allows the brisket to soak up more smoke flavor, so you can burn a cleaner fire (+botanical flavor a little)
No need to spritz a brisket. Some say it helps with building the smoke ring. I can't tell a difference between spritz and no spritz. I've tried everything and found there's no need for all the extra shit like spritzing
I think it also has some effect on smoke adhesion. While wetting and cooling the surface helps more smoke to adhere to the surface, too much spritzing can also wash off the smoke. It would be interesting to run an AB test and compare for smokiness.
I don’t. I don’t know why, but when I tried, it seemed like it significantly increased the cooking time. So, I stop doing it. Now, if the edges seem like they’re cooking too fast compared to the rest of it, I just use foil.
I do not. The apple cider vinegar spray? Makes the brisket taste horrible. If you smoke it correctly and wrap and rest correctly it's not necessary in my opinion. And my brisket's always turn out perfectly.
In my experience it’s more necessary on ribs than brisket. But hey, everyone’s got their way. I’m no one to tell anybody that it’s wrong or right. Y’all keep making good food and keeping your friend’s and family’s bellies full and happy.

No spritz. Place a water pan instead.
Well smoke sticks to moisture so doesn't it increase smoke flavor?
Nope
It's more a humidity.
In cold dry weather I wouldn't open that lid.
I always spritz the edges to lower the temp of the meat and leave the fat cap unspritzed so it can render more without overcooking the edges.
You big dummy
what does AF do?
Smoking a brisket now sir

Dudes beard has gone full Mennonite
In spritz every 2hrs
No. The flat will be what it is, and the point hates getting its bark softened.
Question. Do you rotate the top and bottom briskets?
Trigger time.
What other excuse would I have to peak on the brisket? Proud Worcestershire spritzer here…
Im gonna have to test it with 2 brisquet at the same time with 1 without spritz, but i dont think it make difference
