well i will tell you a funny story. i pull my lower back on tuesday , they sent me home for a week to rest it. i work for the city, in the street dept. our dept planned a lunch party on friday for us . my gift was i would buy the meat and smoke it. they never had brisket before. also did one up for the mechanic shop. my gift to them . because when i need something done they do it for me right then , for somebody else they would have to fill out a work order and wait , sometimes it will take weeks, LOL, Funny thing i will have managers from other dept. come to me and ask could you get this fixed. LOL. and i am just a know body. been there ten years, to get to the rest of the story. the managers threw a x-mas steak bbq for the yard on thursday. couldnt be there becuse of my back . well friday came called up the boys to come get the meat. on sat ran into one of the guys from the shop. and he said it was so tender and moist. he said i didnt want to tell anybody but it was better then the steak the managers did. LOL,
