JOE BOONE'S BEEF BRISKET

1 untrimmed brisket, 8-10 pounds

Barbecue rub of choice (Joe uses a special East Texas rub)

Cross-cut brisket on fat side, just short of cutting the meat. Work the tub into the meat, concentrating in the cuts. Place brisket in pan and pour Worcestershire sauce over it. Marinate until ready to cook. (Always have fat side up when marinating and cooking.)

Remove from pan and cook over indirect heat. (Joe cooks it over hickory wood.) Hold the temperature at 250...
