Between this and your trimming video, you sir led me to great success with my first ever attempt at a Brisket. I'm a bit of a cheater using a pellet cabinet, but following all your tips resulted in a beautiful juicy 16lb brisket that all my guests enjoyed and completely devoured. Hands down one of my favorite people to follow for anything BBQ related.
@@ernestogastelum9123 Exactly why I have Both a Pellet and an offset. Sometimes I have a few days to do nothing but tend to it. Most times I have other things to do.
First off this is my wifes account, I use her youtube. Second I love this video. I learn something every time I watch it and the entertainment value is over the top. Thank you Chuds BBQ!!!
Definitely the biggest take away trick from this video for me. Was literally struggling with this on my cook this weekend and wondering if I should just trim it to all oblivion and that tip was revelatory.
Love the video ill be doing this next weekend for the Kentucky Derby. I've used and gained soooo much knowledge and insights from your videos. I really appreciate all of the knowledge and just great enjoyable content you put out.
First brisket cook, thanks for your help, and going well so far. Nervous as hell but the Costco prime is now solidly resting at 150F for 20hrs. From trimming, to fire maintenance, seasoning, and resting I now have more confidence that even. The guests at dinner tonight are going to be amazed! Thanks again for great videos!
Dude. All these years I've always had this huge point section sticking way high and burning. And all I needed to do was punch it flat?!?!?! YOURE MY FUCKING HERO! Thank you! 🤣🤣🤣
I usually do 7-8 briskets during the summer…salt and pepper but started adding cayenne to give a little extra kick..family and friends love the extra little kick. Pairs great with any sauce
So this gave me a video idea. How about a low priced brisket with all the cooking tricks cooked with a high priced brisket thats kept super simple and compare. Both briskets done on same fire.
@@deanlane I knew we had something in common! I cringe when I see all that good fat wasted..... but this is a great video! it clearly shows that a brisket needs a substantial amount of resting.....8-12 hrs...I would say there is hardly any difference between a prime or a wagyu brisket and a choice or even a select brisket, provided it is cooked and rested the same way. The secret in cooking a great brisket lies in the resting period. Many thanks to Chud BBQ for doing and explaining how to do a great brisket....cheers!
Thanks for another great informative video. My favorite channel on TH-cam! I take a lot of notes from your videos. I agree with others on trying this technique on a choice brisket to see if it helps.
I am new to the BBQ community. I have been watching hours upon hours of videos over the past four months. Your trim process and results are by far the best I have seen to date! I am glad to have found your channel and look forward to learning more as a new subscriber.
Yeah but they all lack one thing in there videos... what to do with the trimmings.... seems to me a waste.. and actually destructive.. if u think about it. There tryin to keep a brisket from drying out.. but removing the very fat that protects the meat... seems like there self sabotageing them selves from the start .. imma try and do one and just leave the fat.. see what happens. 🤷seems too me makes more sense to leave it and just trim the fat after. I mean yeah it's messier but it makes sense idk I'm new too lmao 🤣
@@KeepSycklids save it and grind it up for burgers. Render the fat down and use the tallow for cooking. The reason you want to not leave all the fat on is because it can be too thick in some areas and doesnt render as good as it could. Most people dont like large spots of white fat, if you do tho then go for it 🤙
@@Daniel-zv4to True, also if you get rid of the fat after the cook, you also get rid of the parts that got the most smoke (smoke ring), and more importantly you get rid of the bark (large part of the seasoning)
How haven’t I seen your videos before!?!? I’m binge watching every single one tonight. You’re hilarious and informative at the same time. Not once did I lose focus or stop paying attention. Great work. Subscribed!
This is a great video. I've been exploring smoking brisket and as a novice I feel completely obsessed. I learn little tidbits about what I like each time I cook and it's a labor of love. Appreciate the editing and camera work. The little bits of information like the wood block make compete sense as I keep experimenting with my setup. Thanks for making the great vid to give me ideas. I make some of my own videos and it's fun to create on top of what I'm cooking. Much love in Austin.
Made my first ever brisket last night. Pulled some great tips from this video. Used a apple cider vinegar spray and the foil boat technique. But did the same temp and rub from this video and turned out pretty decent. There’s definitely some improvement needed for my next one but this video taught me a lot. Thanks. Hope to try your brisket one day.
i really like how this combines all the latest thoughts/ideas floating around youtube including talo, butcher paper, lawrey's seasoning and an overnight rest in a regular oven for max juice redistribution/relaxing and most importantly time to sleep and not be a zombie slicing brisket. definitely the brisket recipe to learn from.
Regarding the talo thing. I feel like it makes everything too greasy. We spend all that time trimming the fat but then pour more on at the end? It doesn't make a ton of sense to me (other than adding a flavor layer, maybe). Why not just trim less? I'm sure somebody with more knowledge than I can explain the reasoning. Edit: Adding some wagyu talo to a cheaper brisket makes sense for flavor reasons, but why do it when you're already smoking a wagyu brisket?
@@gregbrayton1043 Problem with trimming off less fat is rendering it all. You don’t want to end up with a bite of too much fat especially if it’s not all rendered. Also it serves to soften up the bark so it’s not crunchy and dry on the outside.
Another great video, thanks for sharing. Just cooked 2 briskets one with slather one without and let both rest overnight. Best brisket I've cooked so far. We preferred no slather - more smoke penetration and no overcooked bark. Thanks again.
Some of the things in this video make sense so I tried them. My method: 1. Cut off beef fat and make tallow using a large fryingpan. This was very fast. Beef bits left over were salted when hot and most people thought they were bacon bits. Use them as bacon bits in potato or any other salad. I ate most of them straight up with a beer cause that's how I roll 2. Inject the tallow into the brisket flat. 3. Used the log to deflect the heat and protect the brisket, which is working great. 4. The stringy fat bits are being tossed into the fire to ad that grilled meat flavor, but they also assist if you have a lazy fire. Something won't catch fire or stay going? Use a lump of the useless fat and once it melts in seconds and catches on fire, it will burn for quite a while. 5. Getting ready to grind the rest into burger meat. This time I trimmed the brisket better. You always try to keep as much meat as possible, but here in Canada, the brisket is way leaner and the last 20% of the flat is just junk. So why waste your time trying to get something tender that never will be and ruin the rest of the brisket. Cut it off and make burgers or sausages adn make a better brisket. Still cooking as I type this...
@@theartofknowing-7229 What I posted above is now officially "The Way". As I stated, Canadian brisket point that can buy in the store is usually choice and the flat has zero marbling. I usually eat a lot of the flat and don't touch the point until the flat is gone because once you eat the point, who wants to go back to the dry flat. First cut of the flat went to my mother who said it was good. I said you are being polite and had some myself. Wait a minute! This rivals the best flat I have ever had. I raised my eyebrows and said "I am NOT mad at the flat!". We ate a pile of the flat. The point melted in your mouth and you could separate it with your tongue. I did rest the brisket for a couple of hours, but that never made the flat any better before. As the tallow injection oozed out, that took care of when people lube the butcher paper with tallow. I bought two more briskets the next day... For comparison I use Rudy's Country Store and BBQ. I may be up north, but I have made it to Rudy's at least 7 times over a 3 year span. People say on Rudy's best day, the brisket rivals Franklins. Next time I will rest the meat even longer.
I’ve cooked 5 briskets in total and I usually go the pellet smoker route since I didn’t feel up to the task of fire management on my offset. Finally after binge watching all your videos I build up the courage to take on the task. 6rs of smoking, 6hrs wrapped in the oven, and another 6 chilling at 170…BEST ONE YET! Thanks a ton.
I love your rapid fire, staccato, no nonsense delivery! A butt ton of information here, so several rewatch's necessary. A 19 minute Orgasim, I'm tired....
“Oops” @ 15:04 mark. Dying from laughing out loud. Thanks for the laugh man. I didn’t realize how badly I needed it! Keep up the great, fun work! You’re a super likable dude, and you give credit to the people who deserve it.
My man!!! I want to thank you for this video... I made my 1st successful brisket following your steps and tips. You made me fall in love with bbq... peace!
Doin' a brisket this weekend. Doin' the obligatory Chud's brisket viewing during the week. Doin' my part to get this vid up to 2M views. Heart u, Bradley!

@Bradley! Thank you! we followed this vid to turn out the most spectacular 14lb brisket we've ever smoked! That boat made even the flat tender, juicy and ... Excellent!!!
I love that you give props to Lewis, no one that I’ve seen on YT does. His joint in Charleston is a must to when I fly in there. As for your cook, very well done. This is one video I would have loved to taste!
I've been a backyard smoker for over 10 years and really have a hard time watching most "Pitmasters". BUT I really enjoyed watching your video.. informative but fun. KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!
@@matthewwild7954 they’ve done most of it but not all in one vid. There’s a trend it seems to copy and one up each other. Don’t get me wrong...it’s all good and interesting. Just funny.
@@brandoncassidy807 the big bad mad scientist who is beating tallow to death with so many videos. Next stop i bet is beef ribs using tallow..like another person already mentioned here said that Killens in Houston has been doing that way for years..the youtubers are playing catchup. they are acting as if it some new idea..
I used to rest for an hour or so, then cut. No longer. After letting cool-down to 180, re-wrap and into a cooler for at least 5 hrs is a game changer. Fixes most of my mistakes. Unfortunately, I have an older oven that will only go down to 210 or so. If I had an oven with an actual "warming" setting (150-180 or so), I could leave it in there...
After reading all sorts of horror stories about brisket taking forever I decided to do my first brisket on 7/3. I put it on at 7pm and like a genius I had the probe in the point. At 2am it's reading 192F and I'm freaking out. Thank goodness for google. I moved the probe to the thickest part of the flat which was 168. It was done around 10am, I brought it down to 190. Then wrapped it in a towel and put it in the microwave. Too big for my little cooler! I was freaking out all day about the cook. About the long hold. It was so good! I'm in North Carolina and one of my friends said I should never smoke pork shoulder again, that's how much he liked it. I allowed his blasphemous comment.
@@ronc4146 My wife had an oven that only had one temperature setting! She got adept at turning it on-and-off to hold just about any temperature she wanted.
Interesting to see a fully loaded vs. basic brisket BBQ like the early three-part series. I just did the plain simple one, turn out great as a newbie. The "Add" can be a good follow-up, one at a time. Thanks.
This is the one video that really helped me make a great brisket, and on a new smoker I might add! Thanks Brad for all your great content and recipes. I'd love to see a smoked bbq beans recipe for.scratch.
For most of us who don't have the 250 or 300 for that snake wagyu, using this method you can make a Costco prime or even choice taste absolutely amazing....
Man I followed everything you said on a brisket and I have to tell you. WOW!!!!. It was my first brisket and it turned out perfect. But I didn't have a offset bbq pit. A little foil, kept the fire away and it still rocked. Now don't get me wrong, I am from Texas and I do rock a bbq pit but had never tried a brisket. Ya I know, weird for Texan. But with your advice it came away perfect. Doing another with a pulled pork this weekend. Keep up the good work and I look forward to more from you . Who knows, maybe I'll tell you my salsa secrets 😉
I wonder how a pork shoulder or a kBoston butt smoked for pulled pork would be if you slather in beef tallow and wrapped for the last couple hours and throughout the napping/resting phase of the cook? I’ve never heard/seen anyone doing it but it’s gotta be good!! Take care and be safe out there!! Hope everyone gets a happy tummy from all this!!
The only people saying "the smoker has fallen" are people who can't cook and should probably stick to microwave Corkys BBQ meals. Love your videos. I've learned a BUNCH from you when it comes to brisket. I don't have an offset, I have a Masterbuilt upright electric and a Z-Grill 700 series which really works well when I add a smoke tube to it for the first few hours. Keep the videos coming!
The point of the heavy gauge is stable temperatures which made think about using two layers of thinner sheet metal with a bunch of insulation in between. It won't look like a traditional smoker but it also doesn't cost as much as one. Also if it's half the weight it's easier to move.
You can build a smoker from bricks and cinder blocks for pretty cheap, and it has the advantage of really holding heat well. It's a great weekend project too!
I do a brisk once a week and i make it a neighborhood bbq because its irresistible once you smell it all over ...i enjoy eating with others make or bring over...talk about community....great video.sir
Ive worked at a bbq chain in central tx for over a year now, mainly cutting and doing pit work, and learned way more in this video than i ever have at work
Quick question, at the 14:40 Mark of the video after you applied the beef tallow, you said "Right back in the oven for a couple hours" How much longer did you leave it in there before you actually started to cut into it? Just trying to see what you were looking for when you did that because this is probably the BEST brisket video Ive seen, so I'm trying to learn this style.
You are the first guy on youtube ive seen that can manage to make their brisket as good looking and juicy as what i smoke at my restaurant. Congrats for that, honestly. Also you can salt and pepper them way more than you think! Most of it comes off through cooking and moving the brisket around anyways but thats what really gives you a solid black bark. You dont really need to spray it with anything for color. Love your setup!
Robbie, being following your technique, out of dozens and dozens, yours turns the best, your Butchers wrap insure tenderness but I still like the boat wrap. Thats for the entertainment thru the video !
This was my first Chuds BBQ video. That was one of the best briskets I've seen, your attention to the little details on this smoke was amazing. Loved and Subscribed!! Cheers!
Havent even finished watching your video and I already think its really great. Very well done, very well detailed, I needed this video. BBQ Cheers from Guatemala!
definitely gunna try some of these, thanks A LOT! im all about the crispy bark so ill skip the slather but adding the seasoned salt and Worcestershire spritz sound great to me
Jon Torres Snake River Farms 12-14lb waygu brisket 200$ My local GFS sell prime for 5.99 choice for 4.99lb.i spend the extra $ a pound only because they are trimmed better more meat less waste.
Love ya work man, I’m a Aussie bloke using my first offset smoker(hark chubby by the way) and all these tips really help a lot, cheers my American brothers.
I’ve never made my own brisket because I don’t own my own smoker, but I’ve never been more inspired to go all out and finally do my own brisket before this video
Yes!!! A John Lewis shout out! I choked when I heard it, I’m not sure what he did to make himself persona non grata but he deserves way more credit than he gets. I’ve been using his rub ratios ever since discovering them in an old TMBBQ article comment section when he called bs on the straight salt and pepper claims.
Probably won’t see this but thank you for this video. I used it as my main reference for smoking my first brisket today with my father. It turned out amazing and we had a great day learning the process together ✊
Crazy. Up until a few weeks ago I always wrapped to push through the stall, that’s how I was taught. Couple days ago i smoked a pork butt on the pbc and waited to wrap until the fat cap had rendered (175°-180° IT) and, man…it was dank!
Hi Joseph. I've learned a similar lesson. When my pork butt stalls, I let it continue in the smoker unwrapped for 1 1/2 - 2 hrs. before wrapping. It helps tremendously with the bark, and shortens the time in the stall once I wrap.
Great vid, picked up a few extra things to try. I made one just the other day. I use a half-and-half spritz of ACV and beer, and when I do the paper wrap, I slather some wagyu tallow on the paper and put the bottom side of the brisket in that. I had worried that my bark wasn't good enough, but after doing a long hot hold in the oven for about 7 hours at 170, it came out sooo good. My third brisket ever, and the best I've ever had.
Somewhere, somehow, someone has to do this. Pull out All of the Stops.....Just to be sure. A 15 on a scale of 10. Brilliant ! Perfection CAN be had. It's a hell of a lot of work, but it can be done. Subscribed !

Next stop i bet is beef ribs using tallow..like another person already mentioned here said that Killens in Houston has been doing that way for years..the youtubers are playing catchup. they are acting as if it some new idea..
Used about 75% of the methods in this video on my traeger and they worked !
Lawrys was a game changer .
That overnight rest is where it’s at 🤙🏼🍺
I used to rest for an hour or so, then cut. No longer. After letting cool-down to 180, re-wrap and into a cooler for at least 5 hrs is a game changer. Fixes most of my mistakes. Unfortunately, I have an older oven that will only go down to 210 or so. If I had an oven with an actual "warming" setting (150-180 or so), I could leave it in there...
After reading all sorts of horror stories about brisket taking forever I decided to do my first brisket on 7/3. I put it on at 7pm and like a genius I had the probe in the point. At 2am it's reading 192F and I'm freaking out. Thank goodness for google. I moved the probe to the thickest part of the flat which was 168. It was done around 10am, I brought it down to 190. Then wrapped it in a towel and put it in the microwave. Too big for my little cooler!
I was freaking out all day about the cook. About the long hold. It was so good! I'm in North Carolina and one of my friends said I should never smoke pork shoulder again, that's how much he liked it. I allowed his blasphemous comment.
Damn would've never though to put it in the oven over night like that. Next time it's on.
Preach on brother man! Most people overlook this secret.
@@ronc4146 My wife had an oven that only had one temperature setting! She got adept at turning it on-and-off to hold just about any temperature she wanted.
probably 1 of the best bbq guy videos i have saw should have his own cooking show great teacher great personality
Interesting to see a fully loaded vs. basic brisket BBQ like the early three-part series. I just did the plain simple one, turn out great as a newbie. The "Add" can be a good follow-up, one at a time. Thanks.
LOL! Fun video to watch. Especially you preparing the charcoal. As a novice at barbecuing, I appreciate this video! Thank you for sharing.
To make cleaning the grinder parts easier run some bread through it when you are done. It helps scrape the fat out the groves. You're welcome.
You sir.... you need an award
i actually wrote that down......thanks
Solid tip. i typically run a potato through mine to pass the little bits and it makes a beautiful hash.
My dad always did the bread as well.
truck yeah man @J Red
I got to give it up to you because that is one of the best brisket video's i have seen, well done my friend.
This is the one video that really helped me make a great brisket, and on a new smoker I might add! Thanks Brad for all your great content and recipes. I'd love to see a smoked bbq beans recipe for.scratch.
should i let the brisket go into room temperature or i can put it in when its cold?
Ive been slow smoking brisket for over 30 years, you knocked this one out of the park.
I'm following That resting process my next cook. I have a feeling that will be what makes the biggest difference. Thank you for sharing
For most of us who don't have the 250 or 300 for that snake wagyu, using this method you can make a Costco prime or even choice taste absolutely amazing....
Man I followed everything you said on a brisket and I have to tell you. WOW!!!!. It was my first brisket and it turned out perfect. But I didn't have a offset bbq pit. A little foil, kept the fire away and it still rocked. Now don't get me wrong, I am from Texas and I do rock a bbq pit but had never tried a brisket. Ya I know, weird for Texan. But with your advice it came away perfect. Doing another with a pulled pork this weekend. Keep up the good work and I look forward to more from you . Who knows, maybe I'll tell you my salsa secrets 😉
I wonder how a pork shoulder or a kBoston butt smoked for pulled pork would be if you slather in beef tallow and wrapped for the last couple hours and throughout the napping/resting phase of the cook? I’ve never heard/seen anyone doing it but it’s gotta be good!!
Take care and be safe out there!! Hope everyone gets a happy tummy from all this!!
The only people saying "the smoker has fallen" are people who can't cook and should probably stick to microwave Corkys BBQ meals.
Love your videos. I've learned a BUNCH from you when it comes to brisket. I don't have an offset, I have a Masterbuilt upright electric and a Z-Grill 700 series which really works well when I add a smoke tube to it for the first few hours.
Keep the videos coming!
Damn it's midnight in Australia and here I am watching Texan BBQ videos :D
The point of the heavy gauge is stable temperatures which made think about using two layers of thinner sheet metal with a bunch of insulation in between. It won't look like a traditional smoker but it also doesn't cost as much as one. Also if it's half the weight it's easier to move.
I Guess thats why they say Australians and Texans are kindred spirits!
You can build a smoker from bricks and cinder blocks for pretty cheap, and it has the advantage of really holding heat well. It's a great weekend project too!
I do a brisk once a week and i make it a neighborhood bbq because its irresistible once you smell it all over ...i enjoy eating with others make or bring over...talk about community....great video.sir
To recrisp a soft bark, heat up your beef tallow to 300ish degrees before pouring. Killens does this with their beef ribs to get that crisp bark
I've seen that method used to fry chicken in China, and to crisp up pork belly skin. I'll have to give that a shot next time I smoke a brisket.
i have watched this 4 times and i still get hyped lol. love the vids mate, from Australia.
Probably the best looking brisket ive seen on youtube so far.. that bark looks nuts
Ive worked at a bbq chain in central tx for over a year now, mainly cutting and doing pit work, and learned way more in this video than i ever have at work
Quick question, at the 14:40 Mark of the video after you applied the beef tallow, you said "Right back in the oven for a couple hours" How much longer did you leave it in there before you actually started to cut into it? Just trying to see what you were looking for when you did that because this is probably the BEST brisket video Ive seen, so I'm trying to learn this style.
I just wanted to add that for me the best brisket turns out when i baste it with tallow every hour instead of water or apple cider vinegar.
Great result and video. Love the dogs reaction. You can hear him thinking... I can't take it anymore...I want some now.
You are the first guy on youtube ive seen that can manage to make their brisket as good looking and juicy as what i smoke at my restaurant. Congrats for that, honestly.
Also you can salt and pepper them way more than you think! Most of it comes off through cooking and moving the brisket around anyways but thats what really gives you a solid black bark. You dont really need to spray it with anything for color. Love your setup!
Good idea for putting miller lite in your water pan. That’s all that beers good for anyways!😉.
When he pours the beef juice "oooopps" 😂😍love it
Robbie, being following your technique, out of dozens and dozens, yours turns the best, your Butchers wrap insure tenderness but I still like the boat wrap.
Thats for the entertainment thru the video !
That's my brisket style except for the Seasoning Salt. 🤘 Nice job Bradley! I wish we had an HEB.
you must be in Dallas if you're from TX.
This was my first Chuds BBQ video. That was one of the best briskets I've seen, your attention to the little details on this smoke was amazing. Loved and Subscribed!!
Cheers!
Same here
Hey Bradly, I'd love to see you do a smoked roast beast for slicing onto sandwiches.
Havent even finished watching your video and I already think its really great. Very well done, very well detailed, I needed this video. BBQ Cheers from Guatemala!
The secret: getting one of the best Briskets in the world to begin with ;)
Yeah, what'd it cost?
My name is Leroy! Stumbled on your channel, then subscribed and now I think I've seen all you vidz. Keep rockin' the vidz, very cool stuff!
definitely gunna try some of these, thanks A LOT!
im all about the crispy bark so ill skip the slather but adding the seasoned salt and Worcestershire spritz sound great to me
Awesome job. Thanks for the pro tips. Transplanted Texan living in Georgia. I miss Texas style brisket.
OMG 22 lb Waygu Brisket!! Of course it's going to be AMAZING! I want to know how to get a great brisket from a choice brisket.
Exactly!!! Wonder what a 22lb waygu brisket is going for right now?? My budget's only getting me a choice or prime if I can even find one right now.
@@jontorres8767 x$7.99 lb
@@oscargarcia-rr4ee ouch!!!
Jon Torres Snake River Farms 12-14lb waygu brisket 200$ My local GFS sell prime for 5.99 choice for 4.99lb.i spend the extra $ a pound only because they are trimmed better more meat less waste.
i wish i lived in an area where hardwood was more readily available because id love to have a stick burner . nice cook! dig the beers and blocking log
Finally!!!
Lol really enjoy the humor. Best brisket vid so far.
Love ya work man, I’m a Aussie bloke using my first offset smoker(hark chubby by the way) and all these tips really help a lot, cheers my American brothers.
Vegans must try it
😂
its better if they dont😂 lets get more and more for us😂
@@johnlion1087well as long as they don't try to outlaw red meat bc of "climate change" or Harvard "studies"
Understood
Good one so edgy and not at all unoriginal 🤦♂️
I’ve never made my own brisket because I don’t own my own smoker, but I’ve never been more inspired to go all out and finally do my own brisket before this video
do mine on a gas grill with smoke pouches...great every time! Indirect heat just like a smoker, do my turkey same. Better than the restaurants.
Great video with all the tips and tricks, the brisket looks awesome 👊🏻
First chuds video, will definitely be sticking around! This looks legit. WIll attempt to follow suit this weekend
Great job Bradley! I am a huge fan of Lawry's on burgers so I might just have to try that on a brisky someday! Keep crushin it brother!
Dude.. I think I've already commented but I've watched this a few times. I learned a lot from your video. Thanks!
Great you are giving John Lewis the credit he deserves. He’s a true pioneer in TX Q
Man I love this channel. Nerdyist BBQ show on the net!
Yes!!! A John Lewis shout out! I choked when I heard it, I’m not sure what he did to make himself persona non grata but he deserves way more credit than he gets. I’ve been using his rub ratios ever since discovering them in an old TMBBQ article comment section when he called bs on the straight salt and pepper claims.
I wonder what the relationship between Franklin and Lewis was? Student or teacher or maybe a mutual give and take of ideas?
Thanks for sharing the Lowerys Salt tip.
@@bobogus2018 l would say Lewis teacher from what I have read about the both of them.
@@bobogus2018 Lewis learned from Franklin prior to running La Barbeque in Austin
Probably won’t see this but thank you for this video. I used it as my main reference for smoking my first brisket today with my father. It turned out amazing and we had a great day learning the process together ✊
Who else is watching this video while having a brisket cooking?
When I watced this like video after that I am going to my kitchen and I eat pasta :)
Brad, I love your videos man! I’ve been a long time viewer and you’ve taught me so much through the years. Keep it up.
Crazy. Up until a few weeks ago I always wrapped to push through the stall, that’s how I was taught. Couple days ago i smoked a pork butt on the pbc and waited to wrap until the fat cap had rendered (175°-180° IT) and, man…it was dank!
Hi Joseph. I've learned a similar lesson. When my pork butt stalls, I let it continue in the smoker unwrapped for 1 1/2 - 2 hrs. before wrapping. It helps tremendously with the bark, and shortens the time in the stall once I wrap.
Great vid, picked up a few extra things to try. I made one just the other day. I use a half-and-half spritz of ACV and beer, and when I do the paper wrap, I slather some wagyu tallow on the paper and put the bottom side of the brisket in that. I had worried that my bark wasn't good enough, but after doing a long hot hold in the oven for about 7 hours at 170, it came out sooo good. My third brisket ever, and the best I've ever had.
It comes out awesome , because you put love into it , that’s the other secret .💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👍👍
i like the subtle pinthouse in the corner at the end. that's a good product ;)
Almost had me fooled into thinking you weren’t using tallow
Somewhere, somehow, someone has to do this. Pull out All of the Stops.....Just to be sure.
A 15 on a scale of 10.
Brilliant ! Perfection CAN be had. It's a hell of a lot of work, but it can be done.
