Part 4/8:
Before indulging in the feast, Jack is invited to explore the kitchen with the accomplished pitmaster, Daran. Together, they delve into the meticulous art of preparing brisket, a crucial component of Texas barbecue. Daran explains the importance of trimming the brisket, seasoning it with a special dry rub, and the rigorous smoking process that typically lasts 14 to 16 hours. This commitment to quality means that the brisket must "jiggle and wiggle" when removed from the smoker, indicating it is perfectly done.
