Got schooled on brisket by a guy at a gas station in Lockhart

I was filling up on the way to a cookoff last fall and saw a guy with a trailer smoker. He told me to stop wrapping my brisket in paper at the stall. He said, 'Just let it ride, the bark needs to breathe.' I tried it on my next cook, left it unwrapped the whole time, and the bark was way better. Anyone else skip the wrap now?

Sounds like a lot of fuss over meat.

Yeah, I get what @max223 is saying. I used to overthink dinner choices too. What helped me was just picking one simple recipe for the week, like baked chicken with frozen veggies. Did that for a month and the stress just went away. Now I don't even think about it, I just cook.

Hey, you're not wrong. I'm the one making the fuss, and I'm not even sure why.
