You either love brisket or hate it. I don’t think there’s a middle ground. I’ve never had brisket that I liked. I don’t even like the brisket I cook but other people do 😂
That said, it’s incredibly easy to smoke. Like pork butt easy.

That’s how I feel about it. It’s a little pricy where I’m at. I’d rather smoke a tri tip which tastes better to me and be done in less than a couple of hours.

Effort? Play with fire and get drunk? Dude, that’s pleasure not effort.

If you are in the US then it’s much easier to run down to a local drive thru BBQ joint.
But smoking wings, ham, pulled pork… Those add value!

I feel like the person that says this doesn’t necessarily enjoy the ritual involved in smoking. And there’s nothing wrong with that. But if you need something to be done in five hours or less, we just aren’t the same.

I only use my smoker for quick things usually now, ribs, chicken, burgers things like that. If I’m making it for a get together or something I’m willing to do it, but just for myself? Nah… I’ve lost a bunch of weight (130lbs), and don’t really eat brisket too much anymore because of the high calories, if I’m really craving some there’s a Rudy’s down the road that’s kind of hit or miss, but usually I’m satisfied by it.

You’re a couple of days late for an April fools joke.

Brisket isn’t particularly high effort at all, just takes some time.
Never smoked a brisket before but it sure seems like if you’re going to cook a 20lbs slab of meat no matter what it is you should do some kind of planning. Most large meat is best prepared at least a day in advanced to brine/season well. So if you want to attempt to cook a brisket plan ahead to make it worth your while.

You are dead to me.
Ridiculous.
Holy meme fail.
What’s so complicated about trimming, seasoning, throwing it on a smoker and letting it run for hours, while you get drunk?
I don’t think it’s hard to cook at all. I just don’t want to spend the money for it.
Brisket is insanely easy to cook for the amount of meat you get…
A better point would have been about the cost. It’s no longer a cheap meat.
I’m gonna pretend you are just drunk and angry after smoking a brisket, and you will wake up tomorrow and delete this when in a better state of mind.
If you are adding cost as part of the equation I agree.
Turn in your black gloves and apron, you’re excommunicated
Depends on the effort.
Are you trying for competitive style or minimal trim and minimal maintenance?
I guess you can always go back to burger?
Mind you, a 15 lb brisket takes about the same effort as a 8lb brisket, one just takes a touch longer to wait for.
Bro woke up and chose violence. That’s tantamount to blasphemy in this sub lol
