- In this video i am going to show you step by step how to buy, trim, season, smoke, and slice up a brisket! I use my RECTEQ (Formerly RECTEC) 590 pellet grill / smoker but this process will work for any type of smoker or pellet grill (Traeger, Pit boss, Weber, Green Mountain Grills, Camp Chef, Grilla Grills, Z Grills, etc.)
Official Harpland Merchandise

🐮🥩 = 100% Grass Fed Texas Brisket / 7.9 lbs
🥩🔥= Central Texas Style using only sea salt and black pepper!
🥩🔥= A Brisket needs to be cooked low and slow, Minimum time about 8 hours up to 12+ hours (about 1 hour to 1 hour & 15 min. per pound). To have the brisket ready for dinner I trimmed it the night before and then woke up at 5:00am to get it up to room temp, season and start smoking it!.
I smoked it at 250 for about 7 hours then reduced the heat to 225 (it was cooking to fast) for 2 hours, then back up to 250 right at the end for the last 30-60 minutes to get the internal temp up to 190-195 degrees, Then wrapped it up in butcher paper for 1 hour to rest (The brisket will continue to cook during that hour, that is why it's important to take it off the smoker at 190-195 degrees or it will over cook).
🥩🔥 = I try not to wrap my brisket in foil (Texas Crutch) although it helps it cook faster and stay moist, to me it tends to taste more like a pot roast then brisket with less smoke taste and the bark isn't as crunchy. Using butch paper to wrap it at the 4-5 hour mark is a good compromise, it helps speed up the smoke time a bit and still allows smoke in and helps keep the meat moist.

Thank you so very much for this video. I got my RT-590 a week ago and then we followed your video to do our first Brisket and it was amazing!!! It look awesome and was the best Brisket I had ever had and I have eaten a ton of Brisket. Thanks so very much for all of your videos. We are doing the Turkey next.
Great to hear that James! So nice to hear that it turned out so great, your comment made my day! With the Turkey just make sure you get it ASAP so it is 100% thawed out inside, i just got mine today and will let it thaw in the fridge all week.
@@HarplandProductions Thanks again for this video. We continue to go back to it when we do our brisket. I believe we are now on brisket #8.. They have all been amazing!!!
@@JamesBrown-zl5im thanks so much for letting me know, so glad it’s working out for you!
Wow. Great video. I’m a nube considering getting into purchasing a smoker for the first time. That’s for showing all the steps and explaining what you were doing
I especially loved your cannon ball in the background :-)
Appreciate that Chris, thanks so much for letting me know! Thanksgiving for watching!
Ordered my 590 this week. Giddy with excitement, can’t wait to get grillin. Great video.
Fantastic Sean! Thank you so much for watching and I greatly appreciate the comment! Keep me posted once you get it and test it out!!!
I watched for the brisket. Commented because of the beautiful Boykin!
Thanks for watching CJ, I will let Tico know!!!
Thanks for the great video. I made my 11 pound brisket for the family for the very first time last Christmas and it turned out perfect. I can’t tell you how easy it seemed with the instructions you gave on my recteq 560. It was the first thing I ever made on the pellet grill so I was a little bit concerned since everybody was eating it but it was fantastic. Thanks again
That is awesome! I am so glad it worked out and everyone enjoyed it! Comments like yours make all the work making this videos worth it! Thank you so much for letting me know! Now you also need to try a Thanksgiving Turkey, and some chicken thighs , have videos for both of those also!
Thanks for the video. I’ve dealt with the temp differential issue, and now I understand why. Looked delicious
Thanks so much watching Donny, I appreciate it!
Just ordered a rt 590. Can't wait to try this! Thanks for the tutorial!
Hope you enjoy it! Thank you so much for watching! Make sure you check out my 3-2-1 Rib video, they come out perfect every time and it's a great way to break in the RecTeq!
Me saying simultaneously saying as you pulled the probe to reposition, "look at that juice" way too funny. Thanks for the info, smoke em if ya got em !
haha, thank for watching Byron, greatly appreciate it!
Nice Boykin Spaniel...South Carolina State Dog. Have one myself...awesome family dog, bird hunter, and loves the water! I've been smoking meat for years and I'm always "checking out" the other guy's method(s) and knowledge. Great video! Very informative about a Brisket's parts, trimming, etc and made it look easy for a first time smoker of a brisket...first time watching and I subscribed. THX!
Thank you very much for your feedback, greatly appreciate it!!! Tico our Boykin is the best dog ever!! Yes that’s why I made the video, a lot of people try to make it seem difficult and complicated, in reality it just takes time, nothing difficult or complicated! That being said with how expensive briskets getting you don’t want to screw it up so it’s good to know what you’re doing! Thanks again for watching and I appreciate you subscribing it means a lot! Check out my other videos to if you have some time!
My 700 gets delivered tomorrow. I have 3 racks of ribs in the fridge thawing for their big day on Thursday :D
Ribs are one of my favorites! So easy on the RecTec! I have been tweaking my spare rib recipe and will be posting a new video in the next few weeks. Thanks again for watching! You're going to love the 700!
Great video and awesome pool too!
Thanks so much!
Thanks I will have to try your method. Also, thanks for your pellet grill buying video, I went with the 590, and I am enjoying being creative with it.
Hey Dave, thanks for checking back in glad to hear you decide to get the 590 I think you’re gonna love it! Keep me posted once you start using it!
Nice work. Just ordered my rectec 590 been smoking with a smaller propane smoker with no hopper witch sucks doing a long smoke but cant wait to use this one Sr. Good video dude
Thank you very much for taking the time to watch and commenting!! I greatly appreciate it buddy!
Great video!
Thank you very much Michael, i appriciate you taking the time to leave a positive comment! Thank you for watching!
Love the Whataburger tshirt!! #5 with cheese, grilled onions & jalapenos, tea half/half & a side order of onion rings!! That's life!!! I'm in the market for a new grill so that 590 you have might do it. You're right sir, here in Texas, salt & pepper is pretty much all a good brisket needs. Though sometimes trying rubs & such don't hurt.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting Sam! I GREATLY appreciate it! For under $1,000 you won’t find a better pellet smoker, if you want to spend closer to $2,000 then the field opens up a bit more but the 590 is awesome and is the perfect size for most folks! Please consider subscribing so you don’t miss any new videos, thanks again buddy😎
Thanks for the info. Good video, straight forward recipe, no B S. I’ll be doing my first brisket on my RT 700 next weekend. I think I’ll go with a target temp of 225 and just wait it out. Thanks again, and nice pool bro!!!
Hey Chris, thank you so much for watching and the nice comments, greatly appriciate it! Please let me know how it turns out! Being Mother's Day weekend i don't have a choice what were eating and the, "Boss" doesn't want BBQ or Pizza :)
Just ordered my 590 last night cant wait to to get started with my brisket and your video.
Hello Johnny, thank you very much for watching and commenting! Very exciting to here your getting one! You're going to love it! Keep me posted on how your first Brisket turns out!
@@HarplandProductions Will do !!
@@johnnymclemore8255 following ...been looking at them
Great smoker 😎🔥👍🏼
Great looking brisket!. I have the 590 on the back patio and a trailblazer that we carry in our 5th wheel. Lately I’ve been able to get prime brisket at Costco where I live for $2.59 a pound.
Sounds great, for that price i would buy them up! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! I greatly appriciate the support so please consider subscribing so you don't miss any new videos!
Excellent job man , very informative and a pleasure to watch .
So awesome to hear your feedback! Thanks again for taking the time to comment, means a lot to me!
Quite similar to what I do, with a couple differences. Temp 230, and I wrap with peach paper once I hit the stall. Pull it at 203, into a cooler covered with a towel for maybe 2 hours before unwrapping and slicing.
Hey Robert thank you very much for watching, and taking the time to leave a comment I greatly appreciate it! I always love hearing what other people do, you can never learn enough about cooking!
Just ordered my 590. Can’t wait! Great vid man!
Thank you very much Josh! Appreciate it! Please subscribe if you like it and also check me out on Instagram @harpland_productions!
How do you like it? Do you wish you had the cold smoke option of the 700?
@@Danny-ko4zl I like it a lot. It’s plenty big for just my wife and I. It cooks perfect and really does a good job smoking.
Nice video...enjoyed the cook. Am I the only one that notices the front lowerportion of Rec Tec grills are always a mess? I have 4 pellet grills and none of mine look like that or do that.
Thanks for watching! That’s a good point, maybe because the front is stainless steel and most pellet smokers in that section of black powder coated steel So you don’t notice the dripping?
Hey brother I had a treager and took it back du e to wifi not working out man. How are recteq. I was looking at the 590 I just want to get a smoker that works and actually smokes. How does this perform and how’s start up and shut down also temp control?
Thanks for watching James! I think you will love the RecTeq 590 or even their newer stainless model. Pretty significant upgrade from a Traeger, the build quality and materials are at a much higher level. I have nothing bad to say about mine, I have had mine going on 8 years and not a single issue.
Can I ask why you didn’t wrap it at around 165 ? Everyone seems to wrap it then, so I’m curious? Thank you
When you wrap the brisket at the, "Stall" it will help speed up the process, here we call it the , "Texas Crutch" but for me it makes the meat get to tender making it more like a pot roast texture. The best BBQ spots here in Texas don't wrap brisket until the end when resting it and they also never inject the meat or use anything buy salt and pepper.
@@HarplandProductions thank you for the advice.
Nice video. I just ordered the RT 590. Why not wrap in the paper or foil to boost through the stall? Any thoughts on wagu tallo or using the rendered fat from the trimmings?
Thanks so much for watching, you are going to love your 590! for me i typically don't like to wrap during the cook because it can lead to a, "Pot Roast" type of texture and is can also make a softer bark but you don't have that extra 1-2 hours it helps speed things up! With brisket you're better leaving the soft fat on and letting it render down then adding extra fat.
Does the rec teq give out a really good smoke flavor. Interesting in buying one.
Hello Mike, thanks for watching! Yes the RecTeq puts out great smoke! The people who say these are no match to a stick burner haven't used a modern pellet smoker! I would say that the smoke and flavor are indistinguishable from this vs a stick burner maybe even better because it's so much more consistent. The trick with a good pellet smoker is to have heavy gauge metal which keeps the heat even. To get this you really have to get to around the $1000 mark
Thank you for replying. This really helps on my decision making.
@@mikecanett6135 anytime buddy😎👍🏼
Are you still super happy with your Recteq?
Absolutely! Think i am going on 8 or 9 years now without any issues
@@HarplandProductions Thanks! I think I may visit their showroom soon and put my hands on one of these. I think it might be the perfect sub-$1000 pellet grill option.
@@ManCaveMeals let me know what you decide
Cool stuff! I'd love to get a Rec Teq! Someday!
Love my RecTeq! For under $1k the 590 is the best pellet smoker out there!!!
@@HarplandProductions I'm really wanting the big one. Not the trailer but the backyard one.
😎👍🏼 it’s awesome too! It’s also made of heavier gauge steel So it heats up even better
Awesome bro looks like 3 of them bad boys fit in that smoker no ?
Thanks so much for watching! Yes you can get 3 full briskets / 2 large turkeys or 5 racks of ribs (laying them flat, if you have a metal rib rack you can double that). Let me know if you have anymore questions👍🏼
I've never seen anyone spritz the a brisket, do you recommend doing this? Thanks for the great video.
Thank you so much for watching and I appreciate the kind words and you taking the time to comment! I absolutely recommend it spritzing the brisket, and using a water pan it helps keep the brisket moist and helps develop the bark especially if you’re not going to wrap in foil. I prefer not to wrap my briskets in foil because to me it can easily come out more like a pot roast in a brisket texture wise. I try not to open the smoker because I don’t wanna lose the heat but when I check in about the five hour mark I try to quickly spritz it with cider vinegar at least once during the smoke!
Nice brisket,enjoying my 590 as well!
Glad to hear that, thanks for watching!
Are you happy with the 590 or wish you went with the 700? I want to get one, but I don’t want anything huge and I also don’t want one that’s too small.
Thanks so much for watching, I greatly appreciate it! The 590 is great and more than big enough for our family of 5! For Thanksgiving every year I smoke two giant turkeys on it, you can easily fit two full-size packer cut briskets or five racks a spare ribs laying flat or if you buy a rib rack you can get 10 or 12 racks on it. So unless you need to do more than that at any given time the 590‘s gonna be great for you!
Thanks for a very informative and well done video. Off topic, but I'm curious if you know how long it would take the 590 to reach 500 on warm day, say 75 or 80 degees. Thanks again.
Thanks Richard for watching and commenting ! I would think on a warm day it would get to top heat of 500°+ in 15 minutes or so
Do the two probes you stuck in the brisket, come with the grill? If not, where can I acquire them?
Hey Even, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Yes the RecTeq 590 come with 2 meat probes and it’s also wifi enabled so you can check the temperature from you phone throughout the cook! If you already have a smoker, you can order separate meat probes that you can use with any smoker grill on Amazon! Don’t forget to subscribe, I just filmed a killer pork butt video which I will be posting next week!
Nice work Harper! I would like to see a more bedazzled spritzer bottle!
of course! great idea! I will work on getting custom, "Harpland" spritzer bottles" with lots of bling!
I’m looking at getting the 590. Any issues/regrets? Good job btw
First thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! Zero regrets I would buy it again in a heartbeat!
Do you probe for tenderness? 190 seems a little early from what I’ve experienced. But, I’m still learning!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! It’ll continue cooking another 5-10° after you take it off you really know just by the feel when you pick up the whole brisket if it’s done! The final temperature probably more around 195 then I wrapped and let it rest for about an hour before I even start slicing
@@HarplandProductions Nice job. However, I am with Matt. Watching you cut into it it looked a little tough and probably could use more time. Not done by temp, but when a meat probe pushes in like butter in the flat and point . . . then is it ready to pull.
awesome
Thanks for watching Bradley!
Sea salt though? I would think that Kosher salt is the way to go...
Thanks for watching, now that you mention this, I probably did use Kosher and just said sea salt by mistake! Sea salt can get a little too, “salty” when using in a rub! But i do use sea salt on steaks!
Real good with the information... Critique though, the volume changes when you add music is annoying. Thats something you can fix at edit,, But the work and information was excellent,,
Thank you very much Glenn for watching and for your feedback, I greatly appreciate it! I will work on fading the music in better and balancing the volume levels!
Boykin?
Yes! 💯 Boykin Spaniel 😎👍🏼

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing, greatly appreciate it!
Great video! I like your editing style 😎 I have been cooking on a traeger for the past couple years but looking to upgrade and torn between the RT-590 and the Grilla Grills Silverback. How do you like your 590? You should put that 30lb hopper to use and try a long overnight cook. I smoked a 16lb brisket for like 16 or 18 hours - season heavily with brisket seasoning and bbq rub, cook with pecan First 8 hours at 190, wrap it in paper then raise up to 225-250 until internal hits 200, and rest it in a dry cooler. Bark is insane, you will not be disappointed! Check out howtobbqright
Thanks so much for watching Anthony! When i got my 590 did check out the Grilla Silverback but at that time it didn't compare, it didn't have wifi capability and it was a thinner gauge of steel so for around the same price the 590 was a much better smoker. I think Grilla has stepped up a lot since then and now they are pretty even, The 590 has more room for larger things such as turkeys, etc but the Sliverback is prob better for cold weather due to it have double wall construction. I don't think you can go wrong with either for under $1,000
I don't get why people like this cut. I just dont like them.
No shame is admitting that Brisket isn't your favorite. To be 100% honest i would take ribs over brisket, but I also do enjoy brisket :) 10+ years ago Brisket used to be the cheep cut so for the $ it was great and you got a lot of bang for your buck but the $ is getting crazy now, for a prime cut brisket it can easily get into the $100 range for a large prime packer cut. Every once in a while you find a choice cut one under $50 and that's a great deal but a lot of times if i am going to spend $50-100 on meat i would opt for Tri-Tip which is a much better cut of meat and for half the price now! So when i just want beef / steak Tri-Tip wins everytime! Brisket becomes more of a tradition for me and part of the fun is the time and process of smoking it and in the summer there is something therapeutic about spending all day smoking and possibly drinking a lot of beer and it brings people together more than just grilling a steak. for me it's like making turkey on Thanksgiving, Turkey isn't my favorite either but it's an experience. Thanks for watching buddy!
Stingy with the rub...
Thanks for watching Allen! Went light because there was a lot of salt in that rub, i had used it on wings the night before and could hardly eat them😂! Hope you enjoyed the video, if so please consider subscribing!
