3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 brisket -- 4-5 pounds
2 tbsp liquid smoke flavoring
1 onion -- coarsely chopped
1 14 oz jar ketchup
1 12 oz jar chili sauce
1/4 c molasses
1/4 c cider vinegar
2 tbsp hot pepper sauce
2 tbsp prepared mustard
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp ground black pepper
1 1/2 c water
2 tbsp fresh lime juice OR Lemon juice

Heat oven to 375°. Heat 2 tbsp oil in large heavy-bottomed skillet over

rack in roasting pan. Then place meat on rack; cover.

Bake at 375° for 1 hour. Reduce oven temperature to 250°. Bake for 3-4
hours more or until fork tender.

Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in small Dutch oven over medium heat. Add
onion; cook 6 minutes or until softened. Add ketchup, chili sauce,
molasses, vinegar, hot-pepper sauce, mustard, Worcestershire sauce,
black pepper and water. Simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice. When cool pour
in bowl and refrigerate until meat is cooked.

When meat is done and cool enough to handle, pull apart into strands.
Cut into 2-inch pieces and add to sauce. Return beef and sauce to Dutch
oven. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add more
water during cooking if needed. Serve on toasted buns with potato
salad.
