Red's Barbecued Brisket

This is THE brisket recipe. Melt in your mouth tender, and full of flavor. Well worth the time and lack of sleep. The only changes I made, I used two smaller briskets, one 6 lb. and one 5 lb. and on the 5 pounder I wrapped it in foil after just 8 hours but cooked it the full time. It was just a bit more tender. The people who ate them are clamoring for more, and those who were not at the barbecue are asking when will I be doing this again. Soon, very Soon.
