Cooked at high temperature, brisket can be tough and chewy. But learn how to barbecue brisket on the grill, and you'll end up with meat that's literally falling apart tender.

Extended cooking time melts the fat and breaks down the tough connective tissues in the meat. In addition to making the brisket tender, the melted fat and connective tissue adds a lot of fine flavor to the finished product.
