    If you put a large water pan (something that can hold at least a gallon) on the coal grate right by the fire box outlet in the main cooking chamber, it acts as a buffer and keeps the temperature more stable. The more you can fill up the firebox outlet with the pan, the more the incoming heat has to be directed around and across the water, stabilizing the incoming smoke temps. Water boils @ 212*F so the resulting air temps as the smoke passes by the water pan are stabilized. On my Char-Griller offset, the hole is about the size and shape of a football. Also, the water pan helps the temperature in the cooking chamber to return to temp faster after opening the lid since you have a large mass of heated water to warm the air back up. I've used this method a lot and have always recommended it to friends who use offset smokers and they are always amazed the first time they try it. Obviously, the larger the pan, the longer burns you can do before it needs to be filled up. My .02 Hope this helps.

    • @SmokeTrailsBBQ

    My son decided to try a brisket at high Temps. I was skeptical and said it's not going to taste as good. He cooked one in 5 hrs at 425 and I'll be darned if it wasn't just as good as the ones we did low and slow. We wrapped at 3 hrs. It was just as juicy and tender. We've since done a pork butt and a bunch of ribs the same. I was surprised. Great video btw.

    Problem is people think you have to smoke a brisket and serve it right after you pull it off. Truth is long rests actually make briskets taste way better. I smoke my briskets the day before and by 11pm they are done and I let them rest overnight. Next morning I throw them back on the smoker to warm them up to 150 and they come out amazing.

    • @mikeroller4110
      @mikeroller4110 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Double wrap those briskets in foil and place them in a cooler that you had poured hot water in then dump the water out. Pack old towels around those briskets and they'll stay hot for several hours. No need to warm them back up if you time it right.

    I like to start cooking around 1pm at around 160° to 180° in smoker, brisket internals will be 165° at 10pm, wrap in pink butcher paper, brisket has absorbed most of smoke it can so put in oven at 200°, put in thermo pro, set for 200° and another for 165°, put receiver by your bed, sleep to 6 am, turn oven up to 275°, take off at probe tender, let cool to 180° set oven to 150°, put brisket in, ready to slice at noon or 6pm, your choice, Franklin's briskets done around midnight and then sit in warmer at 150° until 11am when store opens, ready to slice and serve

    This is awesome! As a dad, the time commitment keeps me from using my stick burner as much as I’d like. Not sure a Tip-Top-Temp will fit on my Old Country Wrangler, but even without that I’ve been holding for 4.5 hours on a little more than half a basket of lump with a simple minion method starting at one corner. I never would have thought to rely on the exhaust cover for temp regulation, but it’s working great!! Even if I had to refill a basket once on a long smoke, it’s a great improvement over my old approach.
    The charcoal doesn’t feel as “purist” as oak splits, but it’s far better than not having barbecue! Game changer!!
    Edit: One OK Joe’s basket full of B&B lump charcoal with some apple wood chunks interspersed lasted almost exactly 8 hours. It seemed to have at least another 1-2 hours worth of fuel left once I shook the ash off.

    Definitely an interesting experiment for a set it and forget it honestly. I'd try this sometime for sure if I didn't have the time to tend my offset. I would call that a win for sure.
    However (not having the time aside) do people not realize you can do a 12+ hour cook from noon to midnight and then rest it in the oven at 170 overnight for as long as you want and it will be FAR better than an 11 hour cook with little to no rest time same day? That is a different use case than what you have here, but will always produce a more tender and superior brisket (worthy of it's own video experiment!) - but overnight brisket cooks are a myth.
    Note: You can see the lack of rest when you cut in and all your juices blew out all over the cutting board vs 12+ hour rest to reabsorb back in and let the brisket loosen back up.

    • @SmokeTrailsBBQ
      @SmokeTrailsBBQ  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      For sure! Lots of ways to skin a brisket. The benefit with this method is zero time tending the fire. It's set and forget. I do think burning sticks and tending the fire produces better bark and cooks it faster as well though. Also the whole 12 hour rest thing - that works for sure and I do it in my oven as well, but that method really just hit mainstream awareness in the last year or so.

    B&B make char logs as well. That being said it doesn’t take 12 hours to do a brisket. We cook hot n fast on the competition trail. 12-14lb briskets get done in 6-8 hrs abs are just as juicy and taste just as good. Don’t buy into the low n slow rule

    • @SmokeTrailsBBQ
      @SmokeTrailsBBQ  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agree. Still tricky with lunch though. Even if it's done in 6 hours that means getting up at 4 or 5 am to give time to get the fire going and accounting for rest and slicing time.

    Very good video! You could also check out the "Perfect Draft", which is a temp control fan for offsets.
    Also, if you're just using charcoal, as a future solution, you could get a WSM, or Ugly Drum, both of which will run a basket of any kind of charcoal for well over 12 hours.

      Ive been snake method smoking on a weber kettle.. did my first brisket and it came out great. Lots of babysitting and some obvious disadvantages. Nonetheless it was good. I contemplated a traeger but have been looking at getting an Oklahoma joe offset instead. Im also a homebrewer and so i like to be in control... pulling levers, switching on pumps etc. With smoking meats i also want to be in control for the short smokes. But this video is very encouraging for the long smokes. I cant trust myself to put it all on auto pilot like some tesla drivers, but intermittent sleeping is okay with me. Thanks!

    The white smoke you were showing near the 8:00 minute mark is an indication of low oxygenated fire and would certainly cause all the symptoms were you describing if you inhaled it. But you would get the same thing if you were burning wood and didn't have enough oxygen too.
