How do I smoke Texas style Brisket?
<|assistant|>
To smoke Texas style brisket, start by prepping the meat - trim the fat, silver skin, and any excess meat. Then, place the meat in a crock pot or smoker with some chopped onions, peppers, and cloves of garlic. After a few hours, add a few inches of chopped firewood - oak or hickory - and some liquid (e.g. beer or stock). Check the liquid levels every few hours to keep the firebox wet. Every few hours, baste the brisket with the juices from the bottom of the pan. Once the meat is done smoking, wrap it in aluminum foil and let it rest for at least 2 hours before serving.
