Cuthbert Georgia, only because that’s where I hunt.
I learned doing less is the best for grilling a brisket. It got pretty expensive while I was learning how to dial a brisket in. I was injecting, spraying, and doing all kinds of shenanigans, and couldn’t quite figure it out. I also used to open the grill too much. Now, I only open the grill three times when I’m doing a brisket. Place it on the grill, pull it off to wrap, and finally open it to remove when finished. Now, I just trim a little, season with two rubs, and then send it. The more I did the worse it came out. Less is best.
The strangest food I’ve ever grilled was a venison heart. I’ve only done it once so that should tell you if I liked it or not.
