Slow cooker disappointment, what are we doing wrong?

[Selvedge]

Whenever we use the slow cooker we are disappointed with the results. The meat is always dry and stringy. Had a brisket of beef in there last night and it's just not very nice. Did pulled pork recently and the flavours were all there, it's the meat that is no good. Where are we going wrong? Advice please!

Yes CustardFromATin, can be left that long but will not necessarily be nice, I refer you back to the point of the thread! Maybe there is one available that has a delay start function. Or you could plug it into one of those timer plugs...

This was not right time of year to start this thread!
