Robb, Briskets are very different from steak, as I sure you know. In my opinion you cannot cook a brisket to the same doneness as steak. Briskets need long and lower cooking temps to come out right. Certain steaks can be almost raw and still be tender. Undercooked brisket will probably have the texture of a 1978 Converse Chuck Taylor Allstar sneaker. I might be closer to a 79 Allstar but 78 was a much better year IMO.Good luck Mike
