I was in a bind, $700 budget for food for my daughter's wedding. I watched the video and read the comments and decided to make this for her reception. Wow!!!! People didn't think I made it. My nephew told me this was better than the brisket he's had at a restaurant in South Carolina. I had to use apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, course salt and water for the 2 hour brining. Didn't receive the Morton product in enough time to use it. I also put 2 teaspoons of garlic powder in the dry rub. He's right... at least 2 hours resting time, 4 would be best. Thanks for making the wedding dinner memorable, in a good way.
Here is the update... I've made this recipe two more times since October. More lessons learned. DO NOT use a pre-trimmed brisket. Trim your own! I bought just the flat brisket (trimmed way too much) the second time and I thought it wasn't as juicy as the first time I made this. Third time I bought a full packer and trimmed it. If you don't have the MORTON product use this as a substitute -1/2 Cup Lemon juice 1/2 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar and 1/3 Cup course salt, cover brisket with water in a 5 gallon plastic pail with a brining bag inside.
Of all the oven baked brisket recipes on TH-cam. This one is the very best. I have used your recipe more than a few times, and the brisket is spectacular
instructions: 1. put the brisket in a pot with 1/4 cup of sodium nitrite and 1 gallon of water for 2 hours 2. rinse the brisket and pat it down dry 3. apply liquid smoke on both sides 4. apply rub (1 teaspoon of food-grade charcoal powder, 1/3 cup of coarse black pepper, 1/3 cup of kosher salt) on the bottom side 1st, flip, then apply on top. 5. set the oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit and insert brisket on a rack (place pan under to catch liquids) 6. cook for 4-6 hours until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit 7. remove the brisket from the oven and wrap it in butcher's paper 8. set in an aluminum pan and place it back in the oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit until the point muscle (largest part) reaches an internal temperature of 195-203 degrees Fahrenheit Extra: 1. grab the pan that collected the juices from the brisket in the oven and set it on your stove 2. add water to the pan and heat it until you can mix the drippings with the water well 3. strain into a bowl to get rid of the chunks 4. apply to brisket for rehydration and flavor
I can vouch for this recipe, tender, buttery soft, really nice bark, I reduce the charcoal powder to half a tsp and added 2 tbsp smoked paprika and 1 tbsp garlic powder to the rub. Delicious
I'm a Texan who has won his fair share of bbq cook offs. I would say yours looks good enough to pass for an authentic smoked texas brisket. But you didn't use near enough salt or pepper. But I have never seen an oven brisket look so good. Nice job!
@@norhadi6448 its amazing if its done right the taste is so unique its hard to explain and yea its melts in your mouth one of the best thinks ive eaten and i come from middle east!
My son and I tried this recipe specifically after watching so many videos. Followed it to the tee with a 16 lb brisket and it was so incredible. We ordered from a local barbecue place and two lbs of brisket was over $60 bucks, it was awesome, but wanted to recreate the flavor with our own at equal price for 8x the quantity and succeeded with your instructions. My husband was so happy and in love with it, so good we had to share with our in laws, but regretting it now, we are almost out.
This came out great! My 12-pounder cooked so quickly (it hit 165 F in 2.5 hours and 195 F in 1.75 hours)! I recommend 1/4 to 1/2 the amount of salt, replacing reduced salt volume with finely ground pepper or other finely ground rub spices. Carbon is not necessary unless you really want super black bark...I got a nice deep brown/black bark with some ground black pepper. If you need to rest for a long period, I recommend stopping at lowest-acceptable final cook temp. and holding it in a 170 F oven to keep it nice and warm, continuing to melt the fat and reabsorb the juices. In my case, I stopped second stage cook at 195 F, and rested for 6.5 hours in a 170 F oven. It came out sooo good!!! Dude, I'll never order BBQ for a party again!!
Thank you! I used this video to prepare my first brisket, and it was amazing!!! I recreated it several times after, so thank you so much for posting this!
I would double like this if I could, I love this video. Bought all the products you used in this video. Have oven smoked two briskets so far, fantastic results.
I used your technique about 6 months ago to make my first brisket. Turned out amazing. You’re a lifesaver. I’m doing my next one today so right back here to make sure I got all the steps down. Thanks again!
Texan here! I tweaked this recipe just a little, adding a few tablespoons of Stubbs Hatch marinade to the pre-rub prep with the liquid smoke to give it a little kick, but cooked just the same. omg, so good!
Followed this recipe to a T for a Friendsgiving yesterday and became a hero amongst my friends. Sent some home with everyone. It’s tender juicy while still maintaining a bark on the outside that holds it all together and is delicious. nobody needed BBQ sauce. Love it. Can vouch 100% this is a great recipe thank you sir I will drop a follow
OMG dude! I did it! This turned out to be the best brisket I and my family have ever tasted. My family loved it. Thanks for sharing your recipe. The only thing I changed.was the rub I used a Rudys rub.
I made a practice brisket last weekend and it turned out so delicious, it's true you wouldn't know it wasn't smoked. Today I'm making a 15 lb brisket for Easter and it's in the oven now, I'm excited for the end results and I can't wait to see what everyone thinks of oven smoked brisket. Thanks for this awesome recipe, I really appreciate it!
@@PA_hunter everyone loved it! It turned out a little dryer than my practice brisket. I ended up pouring buttery beef broth on the brisket slices and it was delicious. I would do it again this way, but I just found an electric smoker that I will be using. Good luck if you decide to go this route!
I’m so glad I found this video my boyfriend came home one night from work saying brisket sounds good because he had a brisket sandwich for lunch so I said challenge accepted! And now I’m almost 5 hours into cooking it. I put the rub on it last night wrapped it in plastic wrap let it sit in the fridge over night then took it out and let it sit for an hour before starting to cook it at 9am!
A bit ironic, I only found this recipe now. I don't have a smoker and cooked my first-ever brisket less than a month ago. I think I had used one of your smoker videos as a template but I did what I could to convert the recipe to an oven recipe and reached the conclusion that I should have used higher temperatures, which you did! While my bend wasn't great, the brisket turned out pretty tasty overall! Now I'm excited to try it again with some adjustments from this video.
Today, I tried your brisket baking technique ( minus the charcoal powder) and it turned out great! Instead of using the charcoal powder, I used liquid smoke and a BBQ rub, which I used VERY generously. So, thanks to you, now I can oven bake BBQ brisket...😉😁👍
Another great video! What I just realized is I could cook the brisket on my cheap Brinkmann gourmet charcoal smoker until it's time to wrap then once wrapped with tallow I can leave it in the oven and do something else! Instead of tending the fire for several hours
GREAT TRAINING VIDEO I JUST MADE MY FIRST BRISKET EVER AND IT CAME OUT PERFECT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THE VIDEO I LEARNED ALOT FROM IT THANK YOU THANK YOU
Just did this brisket recipe. Came out awesome. Not gonna lie. It cooked I cooked it at odd times so I didn't exactly un wrap it after the 2 hours. But when I cut into it, it was beautiful 😢. The smoke ring was there and everything. My wife was nervous because of the seasoning I used, but I gave her a piece, and she loved it. Definitely a recipe I'd use again.
Update: I made the brisket today for New Years dinner and followed what you did as much as possible and it turned out to be the most flavorful, juicy and tender brisket I have ever tasted. My local grocery store surprised me with an 18.5 lb packer brisket which I had to cut in half to able to fit in my toaster oven. After trimming I ended up baking a 7.5 lb cut of mostly the point. I did use Prague Powder for the brine which worked great. It took just under 4.5 hours to get to 165 degrees at which point I wrapped it with butcher paper and baked it until it got to 203 degrees, about 2.5 hours. Thank you for facilitating a great experience. That brisket looks amazing. Thank you for this video. Dang COVID has forced me to become a home chef so I will be attempting this and making my first brisket ever for New Years using a Breville Smart Oven Air. I couldn’t get a hold of Tender Quick so I will be using Prague Powder for the brine. Hopefully it works out.
Just wanted to say thanks so much for this video! I cooked a brisket in my oven yesterday (skipping the brine part) and it came out amazing - watched your video through probably 6 or 7 times through. Subscribed - thanks again!
After watching this about 5 times I've finally done it. The brisket is resting now. Smells great! 👍🏽 Edit: Turned out great. Easy to follow, great taste, strongly recommend. Best recipe I've found.
This is my project for today wish me luck fellas 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 Want to have this ready for Easter Sunday I'm glad I stumbled upon your video stay healthy and God bless
This recipe nailed it. I tried it and everyone loved it. I just need to get better at preparing the brisket. Even after trimming, I left too much fat. But the flavor was awesome!
Brine for 1-2 hours in quick cure. 275 degrees for 4-6 hours or when the Brisket comes to 165-170 take out and wrap in butcher's paper (i used parchment paper) put in pan 325 F in oven internal temp 195-203F = done while it is in there make a Jous test for doneness by touching to see if it bends, check temp 195-203, and finally check to see if prodding it creates resistance.
Thanks for this video! I had never made brisket before and I followed this almost exactly for our Thanksgiving meal. I didn't trust the amount of tender quick you put in your water so I doubled it, but I think my pink ring was a little thick, so your amount is probably better for a more natural looking smoke ring. After cranking up the temp with the butcher paper, I went all the way to 205 degrees and then placed it in a cooler for 2 hours before cutting and serving. I think I might add a little garlic powder to the rub next time as well. It was tender and juicy. Again, I appreciate your great instructions!
Never made a brisket in my life much less in an oven watched this video step by step and made my own couldn’t have ever imagined to ever make an amazing brisket my first try but thanks to you making it easy for me keep up the good work 🎉
Amazing how well this came out, ofc nothing beats true smoke but man, this cook was impressive. I found in the electric oven I had to cook a little longer
Used this recipe on a 19lbs brisket from Costco. I had my sister's boyfriends over both of which are from Texas born and raised eating BBQ their whole lives, they both said it's the best brisket they have ever had. The curing salt and charcoal powder are key, thank you so much for this awesome recipe! Having the fiance's family over in 2 weeks and making it again.
2 hrs in brine (water, tenderizing salt) at room temperature Liquid smoke Rub - 1/3rd cup Black pepper, 1/3rd cup salt, 1 teaspoon charcoal powder Oven 275 F, rack brisket with a drip tray, middle of oven, 4-6hr until internal temp 165 F Wrap brisket in butchers paper, set oven to 325 F, internal temp 195 F (roughly 3.5 hrs)
Hi I sent from greece. I have tried many artificial ones, but no one like your way. Thank you for sharing it with us . keep up the good content .congratulation my friend. THUNK YOU
I'm absolutely loving your videos. Thank you. I have a 15# choice brisket in the fridge. The C Powder and morton's cure are on their way. I'm using your method for a birthday party next weekend. Quick question. I will need to serve this around 3 PM. I don't want to wake up super early. If I make this the day before would you recommend holding it in an oven at low temp or placing it in the refrigerator and reheating? Or should I man up and wake up super early? If reheating, how long and at what temp? I assume in the butcher's paper that it cooked in? Thanks
My grandmother used to cook brisket this way. Matter of fact it was the only way I ever had it until I went to college and visited some places in Austin Texas.
OMG 😱 we made the brisket and it was delicious 😋. Resting ha. We keep snitching. It’ll be gone before it’s time to slice! I wish I could send a picture! Gorgeous, even without the charcoal!!
The first how-to I've come across that mentions how to test doneness by checking tenderness. I've come across quite a few web pages and videos, that somehow received fantastic reviews, telling you it's done cooking once the internal temperature is approx 165° and that is absolutely FALSE! Like he says, it needs to be tender before it's done cooking. The fork or probe should easily slide into your roast. I actually cooked a brisket in my crock pot once, without the charcoal, and it turned out very similar to this one. No brine, no setting out on the counter for 2 hours, just a bunch of seasoning on the outside and about a quarter inch of water on the bottom. It wasn't as dark but it had a wonderful, thin bark. Great video!
Great video, getting ready to try this tomorrow. Did you set your oven for convection at 275 degrees? until meat reaches 165? Then 350 degrees until it reaches 200 ? Thanks Tom
I love your videos, thanks so much for the great instructions and tips! I tried this with a much smaller brisket and reduced the cooking times accordingly. Everything worked great, except much of the bark, which was looking great before going in the butchers paper, melted away with the juices whilst within it getting up to 196F. And tips or advice on what I did wrong? Thanks again!!!!!!
This looks great! I am going to make this for thanksgiving. I also have a stovetop smoker and woodchips, you got any recipe recommendation on how to cook a brisket in it? I use it to do smoke bbq ribs often then finish it off in the oven.
What about using a regular kitchen oven with smoking chips/pellets in the bottom? I have an old one that I want try it with. The top part of the stove is no good, so I'm thinking of drilling a couple small holes in the top and use it as an electric smoker. The oven has a heating element in the top & bottom. If put a metal tray with chips/pellets directly onto the bottom element that would create the smoke and top element would do most of the cooking. 🤔
Hi Steve. Great video! I’m planning to try this tomorrow but unfortunately I don’t have access to butcher paper. Was wondering if it’s possible to do the second cook unwrapped or maybe in a foil boat? If so, would I have to modify the cook time in some way? Thanks!
I'm gonna try using this method soon as i have only tried cooking brisket in a slow cooker , problem is there isn't enough space to fit a proper cut in a slow cooker . just a question though, which heat option do you pick in the oven ? top and bottom? fans on or off ? . thanks a lot
Amazing recipe! Thanks! Got great results on an 11 lb brisket. Planning to experiment it on Costco's (boneless) leg of lamb. Any recommendation on the temps?
A method I use when wrapping for smoking is I'll take 3 sheets of paper and fold one 3" on both sides folded down and 3" on one side folded up on the other 2, all long ways then interlock the 3 sheets together. Really easy way too wrap and hold together great.
HI . Did your oven brisket recipe and it came our super nice. But I believe it could be more tender. I respected all your times and temperatures . Please tell me what I can do as for the brisket to be more tender. Thank you
@@SmokeTrailsBBQ Thanks. so than it means that the internal temperature can go above 200F right?? Would it be right to keep at 325 F for more time of change the temperature? Thank you very much
Hi! This is a Singaporean attempt at brisket! 😅. Is it possible to use alum foil instead of butcher paper for the wrapping? Thx in advance for your guidance.
I just ordered a 30” Masterbuilt electric smoker, I got the one with the glass front and I got the legs and a cover, I’m going to put it up on cinder blocks and try to get it up closer to eye level, I’m excited because I’ve been trying to take various pit masters techniques and adapt them to my oven, then I saw this video. So my question is, with the point at 165*, what’s the approximate temp for the flat, my alarm just went off and the point is now 165, but the flat is 180, so at about 155* the flat was at 172, so I covered the flat only with foil, it stopped the rapid rise of temp.
Thank you so much for sharing I don't even have a balcony I wish I could have me a smoker I used to when I had my house but of course that was stolen darn it to Hay but any of who thank you so much for sharing I'm going to do these tricks I'm going to do it step by step the way you did it and get the proper meat that way that'll last me for this next 6 months after all it's just me even though my daughter likes to come over my house and go shopping and I got my two boys so I'll probably smoke too at the same time and split it between the four of us yeah that should be more than enough to last okay thank you thank you so very much for sharing I humbly appreciate you 😇 Continue To Stay Safe Healthy Strong and Happy Many Blessings and Much Love-n-Peace 💜☮️💯😇🙏🏾💙❣️
Can I use parchment paper instead of butcher paper? My thinking that the silicone on the parchment paper will prevent the paper from absorbing some of the juices. But, I'm not sure if the silicone will affect the cooking time.
I'd love to see you revisit an oven-prepared brisket. Instead of faking a smoked brisket with an oven just focus on making the tastiest oven brisket ever. Thanks for your videos.
thank so much for this video! anyone have any advice for how long i should put it in the oven if im just doing pieces of 300-400grams at a time? thank you!!
Any tips on how to transport this brisket once you're finished cooking? Will be bringing this over to a friends place to enjoy. Thanks for the video excited to make it on Friday.
Nice technique and instruction overview! Question: I noticed when you first put the brisket in the oven, it was on a rack on top of a pan and there was a drip pan on a lower rack. When you were at 165 degrees and checked the brisket, it was still on its rack but not on the pan. At what point did you remove that initial pan and simply put the brisket and rack on the oven rack? Thanx for the vid! I'm stoked to use the activated charcoal mix.
@@SmokeTrailsBBQ I make this tomorrow for Easter and I'm curious is there a problem with leaving the pan under the rack the entire time? Makes it easier to handle but wouldn't want to sacrifice anything
@@SmokeTrailsBBQ I noticed too that when you first put the brisket on the oven, it was covered on foil paper...is that correct and if is like that, at what point you remove the foil paper??
Try Smoke Trails BBQ BRISKET RUB on your next oven brisket! You can get it here: www.amazon.com/dp/B0CBY1DB1F

3. apply liquid smoke on both sides
4. apply rub (1 teaspoon of food-grade charcoal powder, 1/3 cup of coarse black pepper, 1/3 cup of kosher salt)
on the bottom side 1st, flip, then apply on top.
5. set the oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit and insert brisket on a rack (place pan under to catch liquids)
6. cook for 4-6 hours until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit
7. remove the brisket from the oven and wrap it in butcher's paper
8. set in an aluminum pan and place it back in the oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit until the point muscle (largest part) reaches an internal temperature of 195-203 degrees Fahrenheit
Extra:
1. grab the pan that collected the juices from the brisket in the oven and set it on your stove
2. add water to the pan and heat it until you can mix the drippings with the water well
3. strain into a bowl to get rid of the chunks
4. apply to brisket for rehydration and flavor

Just wanted to say thanks so much for this video! I cooked a brisket in my oven yesterday (skipping the brine part) and it came out amazing - watched your video through probably 6 or 7 times through. Subscribed - thanks again!
Thats awesome kurtis! Glad it turned out
After watching this about 5 times I've finally done it. The brisket is resting now. Smells great! 👍🏽
Edit: Turned out great. Easy to follow, great taste, strongly recommend. Best recipe I've found.
I always just cleaned the pan. Now I know I can make the juice of it. Thank you so much
Get some!
This is my project for today wish me luck fellas
🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Want to have this ready for Easter Sunday
I'm glad I stumbled upon your video stay healthy and God bless
This recipe nailed it. I tried it and everyone loved it. I just need to get better at preparing the brisket. Even after trimming, I left too much fat. But the flavor was awesome!
Brine for 1-2 hours in quick cure.
275 degrees for 4-6 hours or when the Brisket comes to 165-170
take out and wrap in butcher's paper (i used parchment paper)
put in pan
325 F in oven internal temp 195-203F = done
while it is in there make a Jous
test for doneness by touching to see if it bends, check temp 195-203, and finally check to see if prodding it creates resistance.
Thanks for this video! I had never made brisket before and I followed this almost exactly for our Thanksgiving meal. I didn't trust the amount of tender quick you put in your water so I doubled it, but I think my pink ring was a little thick, so your amount is probably better for a more natural looking smoke ring. After cranking up the temp with the butcher paper, I went all the way to 205 degrees and then placed it in a cooler for 2 hours before cutting and serving. I think I might add a little garlic powder to the rub next time as well. It was tender and juicy. Again, I appreciate your great instructions!
Making right now! Starts 4 hrs ago! Warning my house smells delicious! Lol
How did it turn out? I’m really wanting to try this.
Mine marinating start @ 3am first time cooking for me and wife ...Happy Memorial Day!
Never made a brisket in my life much less in an oven watched this video step by step and made my own couldn’t have ever imagined to ever make an amazing brisket my first try but thanks to you making it easy for me keep up the good work 🎉
Amazing how well this came out, ofc nothing beats true smoke but man, this cook was impressive. I found in the electric oven I had to cook a little longer
Yea it was surprising!
How much longer per pound? I'll be trying this in an electric roaster oven. Thanks in advance
@@juliokc set the temp 20degrees higher, I cooked 1.5 hours longer...but it was tender and juicy as ever
OmG you save my day . Your amazing ! Greatings from Switzerland 🤗🤩
were you able to find the charcoal powder in Switzerland? I live here as well, near Montreux, not sure where they might sell food grade powder
Used this recipe on a 19lbs brisket from Costco. I had my sister's boyfriends over both of which are from Texas born and raised eating BBQ their whole lives, they both said it's the best brisket they have ever had. The curing salt and charcoal powder are key, thank you so much for this awesome recipe! Having the fiance's family over in 2 weeks and making it again.
BoyfriendS?
“Over the bones of your enemies” lmao!!
Nice video btw! Badass brisket
Thanks!
2 hrs in brine (water, tenderizing salt) at room temperature
Liquid smoke
Rub - 1/3rd cup Black pepper, 1/3rd cup salt, 1 teaspoon charcoal powder
Oven 275 F, rack brisket with a drip tray, middle of oven, 4-6hr until internal temp 165 F
Wrap brisket in butchers paper, set oven to 325 F, internal temp 195 F (roughly 3.5 hrs)
Simply awesome - an amazing recipe that helped make our day after Christmas food a knockout hit with the family! Thank you so much for this.
Damn, You did that. my grill broke and i wanted to cook some brisket so im definitely gonna give this a shot
Great video! Looks delicious, and the bark is so impressive.
I tried this early this morning. I guess there is a reason for all the positive post. Really good.
Hi I sent from greece. I have tried many artificial ones, but no one like your way. Thank you for sharing it with us . keep up the good content .congratulation my friend. THUNK YOU
I'm absolutely loving your videos. Thank you. I have a 15# choice brisket in the fridge. The C Powder and morton's cure are on their way. I'm using your method for a birthday party next weekend. Quick question. I will need to serve this around 3 PM. I don't want to wake up super early. If I make this the day before would you recommend holding it in an oven at low temp or placing it in the refrigerator and reheating? Or should I man up and wake up super early? If reheating, how long and at what temp? I assume in the butcher's paper that it cooked in? Thanks
If your oven can go down to 150 yes. Otherwise just reheat from the fridge
My grandmother used to cook brisket this way. Matter of fact it was the only way I ever had it until I went to college and visited some places in Austin Texas.
@@davehart7943 Dont need charcoal powder when you have pepper and a roasting pan but nice try.
OMG 😱 we made the brisket and it was delicious 😋. Resting ha. We keep snitching. It’ll be gone before it’s time to slice! I wish I could send a picture! Gorgeous, even without the charcoal!!
Smoke ring !! Amazing, like SpringCreek BBQ brisket
Did you put liquid smoke on top side before you added the rub?
Good catch Alfonso! I should have but forgot to! The liquid smoke should go on both sides before applying the rub
The first how-to I've come across that mentions how to test doneness by checking tenderness. I've come across quite a few web pages and videos, that somehow received fantastic reviews, telling you it's done cooking once the internal temperature is approx 165° and that is absolutely FALSE! Like he says, it needs to be tender before it's done cooking. The fork or probe should easily slide into your roast. I actually cooked a brisket in my crock pot once, without the charcoal, and it turned out very similar to this one. No brine, no setting out on the counter for 2 hours, just a bunch of seasoning on the outside and about a quarter inch of water on the bottom. It wasn't as dark but it had a wonderful, thin bark. Great video!
Hi Steve, any tips to how to adapt this cooking method to beef short ribs? Thanks.
Great video, getting ready to try this tomorrow. Did you set your oven for convection at 275 degrees? until meat reaches 165? Then 350 degrees until it reaches 200 ? Thanks Tom
No convection
Thanks!
I love your videos, thanks so much for the great instructions and tips! I tried this with a much smaller brisket and reduced the cooking times accordingly. Everything worked great, except much of the bark, which was looking great before going in the butchers paper, melted away with the juices whilst within it getting up to 196F. And tips or advice on what I did wrong? Thanks again!!!!!!
Just needs more time before wrapping to set the bark
I thought i was bad at wrapping a brisket lol good cook.
I'm always learning lol
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT THIS IS JUST GREAT !!!!
Your welcome milton! Hope your brisket turns out awesome
Hi Steve, I’m from HK, it’s hard to find Morton tender quick here, can I use curing salt instead? Want to try the recipe this weekend.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you
Yes but I'd cut it by 50%
@@SmokeTrailsBBQ 👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks!!!
This looks great! I am going to make this for thanksgiving. I also have a stovetop smoker and woodchips, you got any recipe recommendation on how to cook a brisket in it? I use it to do smoke bbq ribs often then finish it off in the oven.
Never used one! What's a stove top smoker?
What about using a regular kitchen oven with smoking chips/pellets in the bottom? I have an old one that I want try it with. The top part of the stove is no good, so I'm thinking of drilling a couple small holes in the top and use it as an electric smoker. The oven has a heating element in the top & bottom. If put a metal tray with chips/pellets directly onto the bottom element that would create the smoke and top element would do most of the cooking. 🤔
Hi Steve. Great video! I’m planning to try this tomorrow but unfortunately I don’t have access to butcher paper. Was wondering if it’s possible to do the second cook unwrapped or maybe in a foil boat? If so, would I have to modify the cook time in some way? Thanks!
Yes you can wrap it on foil
First attempt to smoke on a gas grill was a disaster. I'm going to try this for second try. Thanks!
Can you use any curing salt or does it have to be Morton’s Tender Quick?
I need that Smoke ring, but this looks like a good alternative option
I'm gonna try using this method soon as i have only tried cooking brisket in a slow cooker , problem is there isn't enough space to fit a proper cut in a slow cooker . just a question though, which heat option do you pick in the oven ? top and bottom? fans on or off ? . thanks a lot
Just bake. No convection
Thanks! I’m gonna make my first TX brisket ever and it’s really helpful!!
Wow! Never heard of charcoal powder. Interesting. Might have to try that.
Tomorrow is the day where im going to cook my brisket like this for christmas! Im hyped!!!
Amazing recipe! Thanks! Got great results on an 11 lb brisket. Planning to experiment it on Costco's (boneless) leg of lamb. Any recommendation on the temps?
Revisiting this video for Xmas
Hope it turns out great. Merry Christmas!
A method I use when wrapping for smoking is I'll take 3 sheets of paper and fold one 3" on both sides folded down and 3" on one side folded up on the other 2, all long ways then interlock the 3 sheets together. Really easy way too wrap and hold together great.
Have you ever tried the foil boat method in the oven instead of the butcher paper in the pan?
Nope!
HI . Did your oven brisket recipe and it came our super nice. But I believe it could be more tender. I respected all your times and temperatures . Please tell me what I can do as for the brisket to be more tender.
Thank you
Usually if it's tough it needs more time ⏲️
@@SmokeTrailsBBQ Thanks. so than it means that the internal temperature can go above 200F right??
Would it be right to keep at 325 F for more time of change the temperature?
Thank you very much
@@rogelioarias193 yes the intern temp is usually 203 to 205 when I pull it.
Hi! This is a Singaporean attempt at brisket! 😅. Is it possible to use alum foil instead of butcher paper for the wrapping? Thx in advance for your guidance.
Just wondering if I can use parchment paper for wrapping, or does it need to be Butcher paper?
I would use butcher paper or foil
Thank you@@SmokeTrailsBBQ
I just ordered a 30” Masterbuilt electric smoker, I got the one with the glass front and I got the legs and a cover, I’m going to put it up on cinder blocks and try to get it up closer to eye level, I’m excited because I’ve been trying to take various pit masters techniques and adapt them to my oven, then I saw this video.
So my question is, with the point at 165*, what’s the approximate temp for the flat, my alarm just went off and the point is now 165, but the flat is 180, so at about 155* the flat was at 172, so I covered the flat only with foil, it stopped the rapid rise of temp.
Thank you so much for sharing I don't even have a balcony I wish I could have me a smoker I used to when I had my house but of course that was stolen darn it to Hay but any of who thank you so much for sharing I'm going to do these tricks I'm going to do it step by step the way you did it and get the proper meat that way that'll last me for this next 6 months after all it's just me even though my daughter likes to come over my house and go shopping and I got my two boys so I'll probably smoke too at the same time and split it between the four of us yeah that should be more than enough to last okay thank you thank you so very much for sharing I humbly appreciate you 😇 Continue To Stay Safe Healthy Strong and Happy Many Blessings and Much Love-n-Peace 💜☮️💯😇🙏🏾💙❣️
My gawd that looks sooo good for being cooked in the oven!
Can I use parchment paper instead of butcher paper? My thinking that the silicone on the parchment paper will prevent the paper from absorbing some of the juices. But, I'm not sure if the silicone will affect the cooking time.
People have tried it and said it worked but I never have.
I'd love to see you revisit an oven-prepared brisket. Instead of faking a smoked brisket with an oven just focus on making the tastiest oven brisket ever. Thanks for your videos.
thank so much for this video! anyone have any advice for how long i should put it in the oven if im just doing pieces of 300-400grams at a time? thank you!!
Love this, did you miss the liquid smoke on the top side or do I not need to add it to the presentation side?
I was going to ask the same question!
Any tips on how to transport this brisket once you're finished cooking? Will be bringing this over to a friends place to enjoy. Thanks for the video excited to make it on Friday.
Grab an aluminum pan with a lid! You can get a 2 pack that way it’s a little more durable for handling.
Nice technique and instruction overview! Question: I noticed when you first put the brisket in the oven, it was on a rack on top of a pan and there was a drip pan on a lower rack. When you were at 165 degrees and checked the brisket, it was still on its rack but not on the pan. At what point did you remove that initial pan and simply put the brisket and rack on the oven rack? Thanx for the vid! I'm stoked to use the activated charcoal mix.
I decided to switch it up half way through.
@@SmokeTrailsBBQ I make this tomorrow for Easter and I'm curious is there a problem with leaving the pan under the rack the entire time? Makes it easier to handle but wouldn't want to sacrifice anything
@@SmokeTrailsBBQ I noticed too that when you first put the brisket on the oven, it was covered on foil paper...is that correct and if is like that, at what point you remove the foil paper??
Can I use wax paper if I don’t have butchers paper or what substitute would you recommend for butchers paper if you dont have it?
15:50 this is why I simply apply aluminum foil. You just remove the foil and cleanup's a breeze.
Now I have to try this thanks for the great video
Do you do the poke test on the flat too? Should the flat poke like butter too? Thx!
It should be pretty tender but a bit more tug than the point. It's never going to be as tender as the point.
I made it yesterday with 4 lbs brisket, only the flat. But the result turn out it was so dry. I use all the temp guide. Wondering what did I did wrong
