Traditional Pit or Craft? What do you prefer?

Curious if anyone else prefers real pit bbq over trendy craft bbq?

Daynes didn’t hit the flavor for me, too embellished with their recipes.

Heim, just no. That’s not how I want my brisket at all. (Corrected from H&M)

Riskys ain’t what it used to be, hopefully it was a one off experience last time but I don’t go to FTW much anymore and over the years they made changes.

Haven’t had Angelo’s in decades.

Coopers was ok a long time ago, supposedly the original spot is a whole different story.

Only time I’m near Goldie’s I’m in a big truck so parking ain’t an option.

Can’t remember Railhead in FTW, not too much a fan of the one in Aledo.

First brisket and it was a ride!

Finally worked my way up to a brisket. 9.5lbs seemed good. I’ve done a number of smokes before but wow this one was it. Super smoked for 10 hours and then up to 250F. 2 hours in the hot rod went out and had to finish in the oven. Let me know what I could improve on. I wish my bark was darker but dammit it was juicy, delicious, and tender as hell.
