Overheard a guy at the hardware store talking about his first brisket

He was buying a cheap thermometer and told the cashier he was scared to mess up a $90 cut of meat. The cashier just said, 'The pitmaster you're copying messed up a hundred before you saw the good one.' It hit me that we only see the wins, not the practice. I've been too nervous to try a full packer because of the cost. How many briskets did it take you to feel like you got it right?
