I've never been to Franklin's, but I have been to La Barbecue in Austin and had some mind-altering brisket. I can only assume Franklin's is at least as good.
I've read Franklin's book, watched many videos, and have tried to come even close to the briskets I've had at La Barbecue. Even my best, which I think has been executed fairly well doesn't come close to comparing. I've been using whole packers (choice grade) from RD.
I've thought about ordering prime or wagyu from Creekstone or SRF. I've also thought about buying an offset, but from what I've read here, I'd need to spend about $1,000 to buy a Lang or Horizon.
I do make some excellent pork butt, chicken and ribs on the WSM, but I've never achieved the magical brisket. Can this be done? Any tips? Should I buy an offest if this is what I'm after? Thank you!
