    Lots of different schools on brisket and they all work. I prefer low and slow. I start out at 225 for a least 6 hours. I get a great bark by doing that. Once I hit 160 degrees, I wrap and increase my temperature to 275 until I hit 205 degrees internal temperature, then I pull it. I let it rest for an hour and it is brisket perfection. If I do burnt ends, I cut off the point and cut my cubes and then they go in a pan with aux jus and bbq sauce for another hour. Meat candy.

    I spent summers in Brownwood Tx BBQ'ing with my grandfather back in the 70's. BBQ wasn't really "trendy" as it is now so it was a MUCH simpler thing. Anyhoo...his "pit" was literally a PIT. He had a hole in the ground in which he had re-bar and a sheet of expanded metal. On Sunday morning he'd get up early before church and build the fire (Oak/Mesquite out there) while he got the brisket out and seasoned it with nothing more than yellow mustard, salt/pepper. Once the fire burnt down to a pile of hot coals, he'd then place the meat on the expanded metal sheet then lower that onto the re-bar which was about a foot over the coals. He had an OLD wheelbarrow(metal wheel) which was the cover. He'd simply flip it over the pit and go in, wake us up and we'd go to Sunday school and church. We'd get done around noon or so(Southern Baptist ministers don't wear watches!lol! ) then go and get a milkshake for lunch. After getting my church clothes off, I'd climb the peach tree so my grandmother could then slice and make peach cobbler and my grandfather would usually take the brisket off about then and let it sit until the cobbler was done. Sliced it up, ate and had peach cobbler for desert. A real central Texas meal!

      I have a 19 lbs usda prime beef brisket , trimmed it , seasoned it .
      Now I wanted that initial smoke ring so put it on for 45 minutes just on a smoke mode and gonna do the remainder time on 275
      I was just advised by a buddy to pull it off at the end around 195 because when you cooler it it’s gonna raise in temperature when it rests! Thoughts on this ?

      Hey Professor A, I am just curious what is meant by the learning curve? I wrapped my first brisket with foil, was delicious. My second brisket was in butcher's paper and it was a bit dry and tough. However, the second brisket I smoked for a shorter period of time and had the heat up high towards the last hour the brisket was cooking. Do you have any tips on what may have happened or could even just simply explain what you mean by the learning curve and how it relates to the paper and foil? Thank you! - Also anyone else that wants to help explain please do!

      @schmidbc 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’ve also cooked this several times now...using the HD aluminum foil. I’ve used Hickory pellets and get a great smoke ring and flavor. The only deviation I’ve made is to trim and season mine and let it rest overnight in the fridge. I pull it out 1 hour before the cook to let it come up to temp a bit. After the cook I wrap it in towels while still in the foil and put it into a cooler until ready to serve. It turns out great every time and takes the anxiety on everyone waiting for dinner. I’m also a Meat Church congregant, I can vouch that the Holy Cow and Holy Gospel are great! Go easy on the holy gospel if anyone is adverse to “spicy” foods.

    • @esairamirez6792
      @esairamirez6792 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      So I followed the instructions in this video exactly how he explained but when I put my brisket in at 275 I left it for the initial 6 hours and when I came back to it I was at an internal temp of 195 degrees, I couldn’t wrap it for very long to make it tender therefore ruining my brisket.

    • @schmidbc
      @schmidbc 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@esairamirez6792 I'd suggest using a constant monitoring thermometer, like the Weber iGrill (this is the one I use: www.weber.com/US/en/accessories/cooking/igrill-and-thermometers/7203.html). The cook time will vary wildly depending on the size of the brisket and the ambient temp around the smoker. For example, I just cooked a 15lbs (untrimmed weight) brisket this weekend: Ambient temp at the start of the cook was 71 F and the first phase of the cook (before wrap) only lasted 4hrs and 45 mins to get to an internal temp of 165. The second phase of the cook (wrapped) only took 2 hrs and 40 minutes to get to an internal temp of 203...probe tender.
      At that point it was only 2:30pm...well before dinner. So I wrapped the still-foil-wrapped brisket in two bath towels and put it into a cooler (fat side up) to rest for a further 3 hrs and 30 mins. The results were fantastic.

    I like this recipe because it gets the brisket done quickly. Most recently we followed malcolms method on the traeger of 195 overnight and then i think 250 the next day and the difference in the texture was noticeable. The malcolm method was the best brisket we've ever done. This one was good and took a lot less time. This is a good method depending on the amount of time you want to put into it.

      Hi
      First of all i want to thank you for your great videos.
      I have a short question - i see that on this video you are using a temperature of 275 from the beginning. As i understand (please correct me if i am wrong) in this temperature there is less smoke than 225, so isn't better to spend few hours in 225 super smoke mode, or even at 170?
      Thanks in advance for your time.

    I usually cook mine at 250. At 275 degrees the internal temp gets to 165 degrees at around 4 hours for me with a 16lb brisket. At 250 you can string it out to be at least 5-6 hours of smoke time. I recommend butcher paper as well. With tin foil you are essentially steaming the brisket and you lose the crispy bark from the first part of the cook. The butcher paper helps release some of that steam allowing you to keep the bark.

    Worked to perfection for me with a smaller brisket I picked up from Costco. Probe for temp was critical as at 275 it hit 160 in only 4 hours. Once I wrap in foil I put it in the oven as the pellets are pricey up here in Canada and it’s not like it’s going to get smokier when wrapped tight. Best and quickest brisket we’ve had as others were cooked at 250.

    275F on my Traeger was way too hot... I hit 205F in the first 6 hours and the brisket was tough. My brisket looked identical to that in the video, but after a lot of reading it looks like the time it takes varies greatly from brisket to brisket -- even when they are similar sizes/weights.

    Hi Matt, I used your method for my very first brisket and came out really good, used aluminum foil to wrap. The only problem, there was about 3-4 cups of accumulated meat juice inside the foil which dripped all over while taking the brisket package out of the smoker. Will this happen if I use butcher paper? Since it’s known to breath, I wonder if the juices will seep through the paper or hold it like foil does? What tricks can you give to avoid this from happening? Maybe cut a hole towards the end of cooking, tilt the brisket towards the bucket and drain? Any other tricks would be appreciated.
