I've never tried a full brisket, just the flats at the grocery store. And I ruin them. Every. Single. Time. I've got a lot to learn on that one.
Venison though, I knock that out the park day in and day out if I can say so myself
I'm about to throw some turkey breast on for sammiches. I usually get the unseasoned ones, but this time the wife picked up the "pre-seasoned" apple-smoked halves. So I'm not going to rub them, but I'm adding some hickory to the mix
