I haven't gathered the strength to try a hot and fast brisket yet. Maybe one of these days I'll give it a shot. I did a 21 hour 16 pounder a couple days ago... Managing my wood at 3 am a fast hot cook was sounding pretty good. Good job!
That looks like a great cook for sure, I could go for a plate full. I have done the 10 hour cook and this is another way to do it in half the time. Great post!
@BeeRich33 Appreciate the support! I had a realy good cut of beef, tasted great! Next time I'll cook for an hour longer but no more. Still eating it :-) Gary
Hi Gary! We just bought a Big Easy for Father's Day and I'm doing a brisket for the 4th. I don't have any injectables and Char Broil's recipe calls for a beer and hot sauce marinade. Any suggestions on marinades before adding a dry rub? I will be smoking on the lower rack with Hickory and maybe a little Mesquite. Thanks! We camp too,so looking forward to making the campground hungry!!
I noticed not much of a smoke ring... I realize the size of the smoke ring does not always indicate the amount of smoke penetration. But how was the smoke flavor? Could you still taste it in the thicker portion of the meat?
Can you confirm which digital thermometer can be used inside the Big Easy? I saw you used one for the 2 hours you cooked this brisket and it didn't get too hot for it? The one I tried using yesterday broke after only 5 minutes when I placed my Tri Tip into my Big Easy SRG. The thermometer could go as high as 478 degrees.I just didn't think my SRG was hotter than that at the time.
I would imagine that anything that can be cooked on the Big Easy SRG can be cooked on the smaller Big Easy Grill, correct?- I mean the cooking principle of convection is the same in both, so the recipes we are viewing here should work on the smaller BE, except of course, the ability to smoke meats. New to the BE, and just curious. Thanks, in advance.
OK...I've been on Charbroil's website and I dont' see the option of purchasing the "smoker box" @7:41. Watching this brisket video submission, it doesn't look like the "smoker box" is compatible with the orginal Big Easy. Am I right?
@NIODRAKSEMAJ The original Big Easy isn't designed for smoking. No lid makes that difficult. Doesn't mean you can't make it work though. Go to sizzleonthegrill-dot-com for some excellent tips from Char Broil users - they know their stuff and are very helpful!
don't understand why you guys have to add sugar to everything and always chars half the meat is carbon. Personally I like the meat, dry rub overnight and high heat and try standing the piece of meat running a couple skewers too hold it.. Sugar at last minutes of cooking.
Sorry bud, I am going to stick with my smoker at 225° for 18 hours. Die hard smoker here. I am not saying anything bad about yours, but I am gonna stick with what works for me :P
Max Martin You will hear no complaints from me there. A smoker has been proven time and time again to be the best way to cook a brisket. This video was just another one of my "I bet I can do it this way" videos :-)

This video just popped up on my suggested list. We've come a long way Gary! Love watching these older videos!
+Ballistic BBQ It's is cool Greg! Though many of those early videos should be remove for humiliations sake ...

Trying it this weekend. Thanks. Will be my first time. Love my Big Easy.
Hope it turned out well!

AWESOME! You are the man... Congratulations!!!
Wish I could remember exactly but it was a couple of years ago. I think 3 times but it might have been 4.

Where did you purchase the smoker box?
Thanks!
Welcome!
Old post i know, but the srg has a built in smoker box, use pellets, not chips. Did the older models not have a box ?
How often did you change the smoker chips?
@sd4547 Thanks! I had a great time doing this video. 16 lbs of Brisket would feed me for the year :-) Need to get more beef eating friends.

Great video - so I have a big easy - love it. Question - did you turn it down all the way to low?
I did have it on low.
I noticed not much of a smoke ring... I realize the size of the smoke ring does not always indicate the amount of smoke penetration. But how was the smoke flavor? Could you still taste it in the thicker portion of the meat?
Hey Gary, don't think you mentioned it but how long did you leave it in your oven before you took it out to cut? thanks

N Fortune I wish I could confirm this for you, but I don't know which ones will hold up, sorry
If you use the lower part of the basket you will see lower cook temps.
Agreed but I don't know that at the time. Not a lot of info available back then. Thanks for sharing the tip!!

Why wouldn't you put the brisket on the very bottom of the basket since that is where the lowest temperatures occur?
Because its an infrared cooker and the entire cooking chamber maintains the same temp in theory.... 8 years later lol
Where did you get the wood chip box??? Looking on line and cannot find one like it.
Keith Johsnon I found this on the Char-Broil website: www.charbroil.com/smoker-box-assembly-29102303
So - I have it on low now but no smoke. Should I turn it up?
Did you get it to smoke?
Cooking Outdoors yes quite well- thanks
That thing looks delicious but you did stab it several times with your thermometer letting the juice flow.
Very little juice escapes from doing this but I try to use a probe these days.

Called the flat, thick side is the point.
Thank you!

Never cut meat on tinfoil... Always a cyst ting board.
OK, thank you for the tip!
