    Followed this method exactly for a perfect weber brisket - was a spectacular success - noted all your temps and made my moves as you suggested, even wrapping the meat in foil, towel and into the esky...Thanks for taking the time to make this, the USA vids are a lot more complex and fiddly - you keep it simple and precise

    Fantastic! I followed your temperature suggestions for a small (half) brisket, and it turned out perfectly at 250-275 F. I used Kingsford charcoal, which appears to burn hotter and faster than what you used. I used a base layer of 2, and a single layer on top, and had to add more charcoal when I wrapped the brisket. The temp went too high if I used a 2X2 layer of charcoal. My rub was salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and a little cacao powder, with mustard for smearing on. Yum yum yum!

    I love this. I think this vent tip will help me to no end, I've always struggled with managing temps in my weber. The result looks phenomenal. I saw your esky tip, and I've got a slight recommendation for anyone who needs to keep this ready for longer. Put a couple litres of boiling hot water in the esky about 30min before you are going to rest your brisket in there, pour out just before putting the brisket in and it will massively help the length of time you can store it in there hot. I rested one for over 8 hours and it was still nearly burning hot to touch when I removed it. I think I could have gone another few hours too as the esky doesn't draw any heat initially from the Brisket it stays hotter, longer

How far apart would you recommend spreading out the cherry wood across the snake? Second question is how long do you rest the brisket for once finished and is it still wrapped or not when resting?

    My mouth is watering!!! How long do you recommend resting the brisket for?

    If you coat your meat with olive oil then whatever seasoning you want to put on it before placing it in the fridge overnight. It won't be dried out, your seasoning will penetrate the meat better getting more into the center and it'll help to prevent it from drying out when you cook it. You can also baste it with butter as you're cooking this will give it a nice flavor and keep it moist in the center.

    Very helpful video. I scored a Weber kettle today for free. Having been using an offset I understand all everything apart from how to best run the Weber. I’ll be having a crack at a brisket next weekend on the kettle. I think it’ll be easier to maintain temp than my offset to be honest.

    Great cook as usual buddy very informative. My question is do you have the fat side up or down during the cook? I’m using a Traeger pellet smoker and cant find a simple answer on line.
    Never done a briskit but it wont be too far away, Thanks for the videos. To answer some of the other guys in the comments I also use and recommend Olive Pips I get them from my local butcher at Para Hills. Cheers

      For a pellet smoker do fat side down until your bark sets then fat side up after you wrap.

    Loved your video, instructive and simple to understand, you covered so many beginner's mistake and so many questions. If i can add my personnal experience (witch is not alot but in the constantly learning process) In my point of view the temp you smoke is a bit high for a full brisket. I have sucessfully done some 8 hours smoking or more at 225-250 with some "jealous devil" the charcoal you are using are burning a bit fast and high temps to obtains the kind of flavours you would get with some real hardwood lump coal. That said Im aware that burning this consistancy in a weber kettle isnt easy at all. Also pardon my "bad english" as it is not my main language. But seriously keep on man loved your video 👍

    Great video. Probably saved quite a lot of money and time for a lot of newbees here including myself.
    On my first brisket cook the only difficult i had was with getting the grill upto the temp, took about 2 hours. Was smooth sailing after that.
    I used the starter cube to light up the snake head. Will try adding burning charcoal like it's recommended to start with the next time.
