I think one of the things that really draws me to your videos is that you're so open and honest about your mistakes and potential missteps. It strips away the TH-camr veneer of perfection and shows that not only are you a bumbling meatsack like the rest of us but our own little oopsies won't ruin the process. It shows how forgiving cooking can be if you are patient and attentive. Love the content my guy, and your family is the best!
This video is amazing! I can agree the honesty on mistakes it feel more genuine, also how it shows cooking can be forgiving are some true nightlight if this video. Keep up the great work !
The wholesomeness and authenticity of this video may make it the best brisket video on TH-cam. Just showing up to your family’s house, using whatever they’ve got and nailed it. No gimmicks, just BBQ. The selflessness of using another brands smoker when you sell your own brand is what really makes this video special.
Congratulations on making it to the top 50 list! Being number 5 is no small feat as I'm sure you know. Thanks for all you do and for consistently pumping out great content.
I'm a Weber Kettle user for a very long time. I smoke briskets all the time. Takes about 10 to 12 hrs at 250°. My Kettle never let's me down. Keep up the great videos. ✌🤟🖖
THANK GOD I clicked this vid. Thank you for showing how to trim a brisket shape that most of us get with that weird pointed knob on the point (since most channels show top quality briskets that are better shaped but they be pricey AF) Even your "how to trim" vids didn't really have the shape of the one in this video. THANK YOU!
This video had everything in it a little bit of traveling, hiking, chilling, family time and BBQ time this is awesome video also I started my BBQ journey on a stick bunner recently got a weber grill and I have not even scratch the surface on cooking with it lol great brisket Chud
I’m really glad you did the kettle brisket. I started on a stick burner. My dad was doing briskets back in the 60’s before it was cool. I’ve spent some years doing Komado style, and then went to Weber. I own all the cookers still, but find myself using the Weber the most. Keep on keeping on Bradley!
The land of my childhood ( and adulthood till I was 40 ) Cool video...I never tried a brisket on my weber...but I just built a nice uds I plan on doing a pastrami on...love the info you put out there and it was nice to see ny old stomping grounds
I just did a brisket on my kettle over the weekend using tips from your secrets to brisket video. The BEST brisket I’ve ever made. Thanks for the video!
@bradley, you solved my question. All the Google searches keep saying white smoke is bad for smoking meat. But you just explained since 90% of the heat is from charcoal that the white smoke from the woods chunks don't really create that bad taste. Thanks for your insight!!!
I cooked a brisket on a kettle a few weeks ago and used the chud foil boat and the bark was incredible like the one you made. But it didn't have much of a smoke ring like yours. Your kettle brisket was insane!
I don't know if I'm brave enough to smoke a brisket on my Kettle, could you please just swing by VA on your way back to TX from NH, lol. Seriously, thanks for another awesome video! For the upcoming months, Happy Holidays to you and your family 😀
18 Lb brisket putting the Webber through it’s paces as we speak…. I wouldn’t have tried this if you hadn’t posted this Brad, so thank you! It’s been on for 8 hours now, and it is looking… “DELICIOUS!!” 💪🏻
Unless I’m cooking a lot of meat I’d say that I use my Weber for most of my cooks. The snake method always gives me consistent temps with less fire management and more time spent drinking.
I was so excited to watch this :) Thanks for another awesome video mate! Looks like you’ve got a lovely family :) Keep up the good work bro, sending love from the land down under 🇦🇺
THANK YOU. My first BBQ was the Weber Kettle. When I first started smoking I also thought it was weird that the thermometer was directly above the coals if you want to have the smoke pass the meat.. Always used external thermometers for it. Greetings from the Netherlands :)
My first brisket was on my weber kettle and it was a screaming success. I have has a couple bad ones but it’s all learning. Good times. New Hampshire sure is pretty!
Great to see the family legacy partaking in Chud BarBq, Texas style. The Ps are great folks...I can see much love in your family. Thanks for sharing your family adventure
I agree that you lose all your heat when removing the lid. On the flip side, you are also allowing oxygen to reach the coals/fire. After the lid is reinstalled the temperature can rise dramatically. I have fought this over the years of cooking on a kettle with a Slow and Sear. I still have it and also have an LSG 20X42 offset. I find this to be the biggest difference between the two. You have to keep the kettle from getting too hot and you have to keep the offset from getting to low in temp. Great video and I hope you had a great time with your family!
Thanks for giving us a "day in the life" of the Chud family. That brisket looked fantastetic. I have a still yet to be used Weber Kettle (bought it as a back up if I lose power again). I can't wait to try this!😊👍
Man I really miss those green east coast mountains. Didn't spend a whole lot of time in NH but when I lived in vermont was one of the best and happiest times of my life. It's just so nice there and there's so many things to do for someone like myself who loves the outdoors and mountain sports. Also your family has a beautiful property!
Love the video and advice. I do brisket and pulled pork on my '04 Weber, however I use the snake method and add a pan with hot water in the center. A properly vented 'snake" will easily give 12+ hours of smoking time. Use hickory, apple, cherry or mesquite chunks, depending on what we're going for. Just bought a fancy two-probe electronic thermometer (Father's Day gift to myself) with remote receiver... will be interesting to see what temps I have been getting.
Hey Brad, sorry I'm late to your channel and Chud cooking. I gotta admit, I saw ur vids while searching for cooks and "how-to" vids, but I just foolishly walked-on-by. I now am a big fan of your journey and impressed with ur vast array of what you cook. Truly impressive! I started on a cheap side-box pit many years ago, but my learning curve was too flat and I moved on from that. I settled on a Weber 22" a number of years back, and even though I own a pellet smoker, I still do most of my cooks on the weber. Very good job cooking at ur folks place despite the challanges, nicely done. Strong work Bradley.
Great video! I love my weber kettle. It's one of the most versatile cookers! Can't wait to cook my next brisket it on it and hopefully achieve results a fraction of yours. When you can achieve good results like that, it just shows it's the pitmaster and not the pit.
Man, what a wholesome family. The Chud’s do it right
th-cam.com/video/uJgfZ-LPD2o/w-d-xo.html
Agree. Keeping it real. Any more videos with the Chubs Fam to come?
Man would love for u to cook some German Swank on some German brochin bread.

Any tips you got for someone doing a 17lb brisket for first time with snake method?
“There’s a snake in my boot” I’ve been cooking on a Weber kettle for years. Awesome video
I have seen my fair amount of brisket videos but this one ranks at the top. what a beautiful family gathering with a great meal.
Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. Made a brisket for the first time following your instructions and it turned out unbelievable delicious 🤤. Thank You
Love it when your family joins in on your catchphrases and style! Always a treat
Seriously when you go home and have your mother available she definitely needs to do the intro. The one she did for the lobster rolls was awesome.
The addition of your family is the best!

Your mom is such a sweetheart! I’m actually in Antrim, NH visiting the in laws right now. Hope one of these years I run into you at Logan

those drone shots looked amazing, the colours where unreal
Easily the best looking brisket I’ve seen come off a kettle. Excellent work sir!
Love the family love in this video!
I just did a brisket on my kettle over the weekend using tips from your secrets to brisket video. The BEST brisket I’ve ever made. Thanks for the video!

The Weber kettle is the gateway to backyard bbq goodness.
I don’t know how you stay in TX as beautiful as NH is. The water and all that greenery!
This channel keeps getting better
And this solidified it, I'm firing up the weber this weekend!
Great job on working around the oven. Adaptability is the key to survival. Great video as always, thank you and cheers!
Dude, those videos with you fam- they’re awesome. Seeing your folks supporting you. Big fan bud, love what you’re up to.
th-cam.com/video/uJgfZ-LPD2o/w-d-xo.html

I can’t believe you left that beautiful place for Texas. Great looking brisket. Thanks for sharing my man
That strong flex at the end with Heady Topper is icing on the cake.
Just set up my kettle. Can’t wait to break it in.
Brad, I've been cooking for almost my whole life and honestly, your videos are some of my favorite. Keep up the good work!
Beautiful family, scenery and food!
6:35...did you put the brisket on the rusted grate? Is that okay to do?
your mom is so dang cute ! as someone who also has an awesome mom i can see them from a mile away! love the official taste testers!
using this video as the guide to my first brisket TODAY! ill let you know how it turns out! thanks for an awesome vid!
Oh man, I grill and smoke every weekend, I hope when I'm older my kids have your energy and hang out with me cooking still.
I cooked a brisket on a kettle a few weeks ago and used the chud foil boat and the bark was incredible like the one you made. But it didn't have much of a smoke ring like yours. Your kettle brisket was insane!
Looks like a Heady Topper at the end. One of my favorites of all time!!! Brisket looked perfect again.
I don't know if I'm brave enough to smoke a brisket on my Kettle, could you please just swing by VA on your way back to TX from NH, lol. Seriously, thanks for another awesome video! For the upcoming months, Happy Holidays to you and your family 😀
This is the exact way I started cooking my first Briskets. Definitely a learning curve to it. Great video on how to do it!
18 Lb brisket putting the Webber through it’s paces as we speak…. I wouldn’t have tried this if you hadn’t posted this Brad, so thank you! It’s been on for 8 hours now, and it is looking… “DELICIOUS!!” 💪🏻
Got my brother-in-law a weber kettle yesterday and sent him this video. Thanks for the great content!
You can tell that’s a proud mom right there ❤️
What a great video! Enjoyed the family twist! And it resonates with so many folks that are rockin’ kettles for everything.
That had to be the best looking brisket I've seen off a Weber Kettle! Cant wait to try this one out.
Unless I’m cooking a lot of meat I’d say that I use my Weber for most of my cooks. The snake method always gives me consistent temps with less fire management and more time spent drinking.

I live in the UK and I would move therein a heart beat!! Love the channel great videos.
Love this. Great cook and a great family. Much love from Toronto 💪🏾💪🏾
I’ve been smoking on a kettle for years and I’m so glad you’ve made this video!
There are so many different ways too, the snake method is my favorite, but smoke and sear works too.
Great stuff good to see you making bbq brisket using simple equipment that most people have in their homes. You're a champ Chud
I was so excited to watch this :) Thanks for another awesome video mate! Looks like you’ve got a lovely family :)
Keep up the good work bro, sending love from the land down under 🇦🇺
Suddenly I have the urge to visit New Hampshire. Looks beautiful
My favorite so far! I’m going to try one on my Weber. Why not?? Your parents are the coolest!
The Smokenator!! I used one for years on my kettle but I tended to have airflow issues. I switched to the Slow n Sear and had much better results.
Just about the same! Came down here to lookout for comments on the old Smokenator.
THANK YOU.
My first BBQ was the Weber Kettle. When I first started smoking I also thought it was weird that the thermometer was directly above the coals if you want to have the smoke pass the meat.. Always used external thermometers for it. Greetings from the Netherlands :)
What a view, what a kettle, what a brisket & what a family gathering. Thank you!

I've been watching you for a while and i think u are a smoker boss. i love all your tips and tricks. thanks for everything. Heather from Indiana
My first brisket was on my weber kettle and it was a screaming success. I have has a couple bad ones but it’s all learning. Good times. New Hampshire sure is pretty!
Great video, you make it look so simple. And I see a Heady Topper at the end!
Perfect outcome with the most basic resources so where there is a skill there is a way. Bravo!

Thanks for giving us a "day in the life" of the Chud family. That brisket looked fantastetic. I have a still yet to be used Weber Kettle (bought it as a back up if I lose power again). I can't wait to try this!😊👍
12:08 that drink to the pitmaster is totally something my dad would do!
Best bbq show on the tube

Thank you for properly representing New England 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thats how i started smoking brisket. A Weber kettle water pot, snake method, and drilled a hole into the lid so I could keep a better eye on the temp.
That fall foliage looks fantasteic.
Your changing the game Bradley!
Welcome back to NH. Love the Heady Topper!
Great Video...Nothing Better Then Family and Good BBQ.....Cheers Brotha
I absolutely love Papa Chud's jig saw.

Makes me wanna go back home to CT!! Thanks for the aerial footage...Extra points there on the video.
Thanks... Now I can use my weber to give this a try! Safe travels...
Love the drone footage! Gorgeous!
Heady dunk at the end. Delicious looking as always my man!
th-cam.com/video/uJgfZ-LPD2o/w-d-xo.html
Aye, that's mad cool you having your family on here.
This is one of the best Weber kettle briskets I’ve seen on YT! Great video!
I’m just getting into learning how to smoke and I’m starting off with the Webber kettle to see how it goes so I loved this video lol
So much YES to this video, been using a Weber Kettle for years, will be building a offset this winter (all because you) lol
This cook is exactly what most of us are doing. No frills family cooking with a kettle and old ice chest.
Love that you're drinking the heady topper
Which is better when it comes to even cook, and grill temp management. The slow n sear or the snake method?
Such a proud mumma ❤
Brilliant, awesome video all have at the moment is a weber kettle. Love the Heady Topper!

Looked great. Your take on resting is amazing and I will try it. Kettles are one of the best.

Beautiful, delicious brisket and awesome beer choice at the end.
Great video Buddy! Trying this tomorrow. Cheers from Syracuse.
Great video as usual, enjoy watching them, great job
