I've got a buddy that does them H&F on his stick burner.  He sears it over a raging open flame for 10 minutes or so, turning it often.  Then he puts it in a foil pan with 8 or 10 sliced lemons, honey, vinegar, beer, seasonings and I can't remember what else.  Seals it tight with foil and keeps it at a brisk boil by listening to whats going on, if memory serves me.  He could do a full packer in around 4 hours.  They were always perfectly tender and moist.  It's been years since I've seen him do one because we moved.  I need to call him.

I was once told if you did a hot and fast you needed to let it rest for at least 5 hours. Will be interesting to hear how you come out.

I usually do  h/F for all my briskets. Can't say it's t he best method but it's very very good and consistent. And in a crunch it works. I'll rest as long as possible.

Question for you since I always harp on it's done when they probe like butter. Do you H & F briskets probe like butter when you take them off or after they rest? Or do you ever check for that. Not poking at you or H & F, just curious?  Thanks

I probe after the resting period. The very tail end of the flat ends up being jerky. But the rest is like butter.  It's not just based on time only but IT.  After foiling 1.5 hours internal temp at thickest part of the point is 205.  Then the rest for 3 hours.

Didn t get pictures.  Point was terrific but the flat was meh. Maybe a friend too pics of the brisket. But overall not my best work.

Taste was where I want it but overall tenderness I wasn't very happy with.

Boy, brisket can be tough to get right. It's such a challenge with its varied thickness, which is why I admire those here who make it look so easy. Don't be discouraged. Keep at it. We've all been at this same point at some time (I'm still at this point!). Glad it was delicious, though!
