I used my Rival Crockpot BBQ Pit yesterday to make some of the best brisket I have ever made. (Modesty aside for the moment). It came out really moist and tender, and I was very happy! I placed the brisket in a plastic ziplock bag with my secret marinade, to which I added two teaspoons of liquid smoke. I found a really good hickory liquid smoke from Wrights. It is all natural with only water and smoke - no ingredients like salt, soy and chemicals that other brands add. It was really tasty.

My daughter thinks it is rather odd to have a mini-BBQ setup on the kitchen counter (It does look like a baby version of the outdoor pit), but she loved the results.

Tomorrow... BBQ chicken!
