Notes

A basic slow cooker / oven-roasted BBQ brisket.
One can roast this off in a low oven, ~225-250, the key is when one can "pinch" the brisket and have it shred in your fingers.
I age the brisket uncovered, using the refrigerator to help dry the surface of the meat to get a bark on the bbq.
I vary from conventional knowledge in that I do not slow cook the brisket in the sauce.  It is an oven BBQ, not a braise.
