Great video! Just got an offset off the street and restored it. At 8 hours with my 15lb brisket right now and it’s looking phenomenal. Thanks for the help!
I`ve gotta say, this video is the one on the top of the list for me. You did an AMAZING job with the video AND the brisket. You kept it very simple and easy. I`ve been doin smokin bbq`s for 60+ yrs, and i`ve never seen the "aluminum boat" method before. I`ll give it a try! Looks like it worked really well for you! And a huge thank you for posting an incredible video and brisket cook. My only problem is, having to wipe up all the drool from my keyboard now, lol.
Awesome video, on the rub salt and pepper in a 1:1 ratio. This helps dry brine the meat so that it locks in its natural flavors, while giving it a smokey edge with the pepper. A lot of people in Texas use this simple method
I recently got my first smoker, an Oklahoma Joe's reverse flow. This video easily helped me to improve my fire. There's definitely more consistency between the chamber temps and grill temps
I got a Char-Griller for xmas and so glad i stumbled across your tutorial, i will be trying my first brisket in the next few weeks and following this like my life depends on it!
I am smoking a brisket for the first time this weekend and will follow your instructions and see how it goes. You make it look amazing. Looking forward to try it.
Just a tip , cut the side of your basket , if you use one , so you can add wood through the side door , you wont lose heat in the fire box as you do by opening the top ....
I have watched this video so many times and keep loving this comment 😂 keep forgetting to reply to it and agree 100% vegan for sure only good thing is they leave all the meat for us 💪🏽
I have been trying to find a video for smoking brisket and this video has been the most informative one ever. Thanks man. With all the tips that you just gave, my next brisket will not be the failure I had on my last (which was also my first).
Started mine at 10:30 am on Dec. 23rd and finished it off at 8:17 pm sliced to taste at 1:24 am. Perhaps the best brisket I’ve ever had. Thanks for the tips Aaron😊
I purchased an Oklahoma Joes Highland reverse flow using your discount code and man that thing is a beast! So much easier to maintain temps than my cheaper smoker. Thanks again for the great content mate, I’m 2hrs into a brisket right now 🤙🏼
Out of curiosity, how did you collect the fat? Did you just get a lot thinner pan, so it could fit on the plates/between the grates? I bought the same smoker, and am preparing myself to do a brisket this spring.
Thanks so much for using real wood real pits and not cooking everything in a pellet or electric cooker. I know everyone cant tend a fire like they should but lets be honest this is a good looking brisket. Probably a GREAT tasting brisket. You will never get this from a pellet cooker
I’ve been looking for a good starter smoker and the OJ offset seemed to be a good option. After seeing your results, I’m going to grab one soon! Thanks for the VERY detailed tutorial! You’ve earned another sub!
In my opinion this is far and away the best method to cooking a brisket, I’ve been doing this for a couple years now and it gives an incredible bark, funnily enough I don’t see any of the American smoker channels doing it, maybe it’s an Aussie thing, love your channel, isn’t it funny how serious smokers have a small collection of em, I have 5 myself and use them all and am still often on the lookout for something different, cheers brother
Now this video is thumbs up. And also a subscription from me. Thanks for the awesome tips. I smoked a brisket yesterday for 6 hours. Held it at 250 F , nothing in comparison to yours. Hopefully my next one will be close to how yours turned out. 100% thankyou. Great tips
Another great down to earth, no b.s. video, thankyou! Two questions, fat cap up or down (and why?), you said at the end of the video this would be in your top three briskets…..what were the other two? Awesome cooks mate, keep them coming!
Following this tutorial pretty much to the letter. Just at the 90°c end of the boat 2nd stage. I can feel the meat tenderizing as it gets to the cooked temp. Omg can't wait to taste. I'm using old kwila decking as fuel... 😂❤
I’ve not tried a big quality brisket yet … never got that giggly butter like probe as yet :( Only done about 2.5kg brisket … so need to try a big one and quality cut too . Will stick to your fire management plan also … I tend to put two splits in and then complain it’s to hot lol Great video mate . Great brisket 👍👌
Thank you for answering a question that I had. Said question was, if I'm using a probe. Which temp do I focus on for a proper meat temp. My grill gauge would always be higher than my probe gauge. But it would take for ever to cook. I've always felt the grill was never hotter than the box. After watching this video. I see that you have the grill gauge at high temp and just focus on the ambient temp with a grill gauge. I see that you're using 3 different temp methods.
Great video! You react the exact same way I do when I bite into that first slice of brisket! Lol. That smoker looks like a great piece of equipment. Just might be my next purchase! Cheers!!
Dude... this is one of the best "how to" videos online, especially on smoking brisket. Thank you so so much, I love videos that's straight to the point. I've also just ordered that same rub as well as Wham Bam Smokin Lamb from Heavenly Hell. Thank you so much for your time and effort in making this video. Really appreciate it. I will try this exact cooking method. Cheers mate.
luv the Oky Joe ! Inexpensive, well built and just a smoking beast! Mine is a half and half. I like getting smoke on the steak and searing it on the gas. The gas grill half really puts out some btu's! Nice buy for under 500$ Nice video! Just the basics and not overly complicated. Good job mate!
I’m cooking a brisket for the first time in two days so you might not respond in time, but you in multiple occasions check the temp with a probe by stabbing it multiple times, if I wanted to instead insert some permanent wired probes where would I want to put them and what would be the temps I wanted at those checking times
Great video. What was your total smoking time? You checked it at 4 hours and added the boat, then checked again at 7 hours and took if off after ~ half-hour. So, 7.5 hours for a 7 kilo brisket? I'm doing one in the morning. Thanks!
Hey guys. New to smoking! Looking at doing my first brisket soon. Just a few questions 1 - would you be maintaining the 250-270 the whole cook? 2 - are you adding wood to smoke the brisket even once you put the brisket in your foil boat? 3 - at any stage would you be adding more coal? Thank you
@@lukeadams5557 hey mate, yep try maintain that temp whole cook. Wood fuels an offset the whole time but once wrapped in foil you can finish in oven to make life easier at same temp. No need to add more coal if adding log splits when running an offset.
fantastic cook per usual Aaron. in regards to the" boat" could you just use a large foil tray or is there secret special theory around the snug fitting boat you have made here ?
Hey mate! Thanks 🤘 You can use a tray but yeah I just think it’s better being a bit more snug and it helps create a little more radiant heat around the brisket.
What gloves were you or do you typically use? Picking up the grill grate like that would be awesome! Also what internal temperature do you target? And do you bother marinading? Do you use any binder for your rub?
If it weren't for you I'd be lost! 😅 love the detail and commitment you put into teaching people how to smoke/cook good meat. I'm new but with watching your videos feels like I'll be there in no time, good stuff mate love ya work 🙌💪🤤🤤

My guy you are the truth, my first brisket came out immaculate. Thanks for the video
Most welcome mate!
As an experienced brisket smoker from Texas, I appreciate your cooking technique. Always looking to learn something new. Thanks.
Also, I've never seen a charcoal basket like that one. Amazon?
@@Threedog1963 thanks mate! It came with the smoker.
I did my first brisket on an offset I just bought based on this and it turned out great. Thanks for the great info it is much appreciated!
@@sulimankhan9968 cheers mate! Great work 😃
I`ve gotta say, this video is the one on the top of the list for me. You did an AMAZING job with the video AND the brisket. You kept it very simple and easy.

Thanks so much mate! Thanks for tuning in!
I've made this twice now using these exact same steps and both came out perfect!
Cooking my second brisket today using this method, thank you sir! So far they have been phenomenal !
🙌
Great to see quality Aussie low & slow BBQ smoking videos like this. Brisket is my favourite, and you nailed it mate, well done!
Thanks mate, really appreciate the support!
Awesome video, on the rub salt and pepper in a 1:1 ratio. This helps dry brine the meat so that it locks in its natural flavors, while giving it a smokey edge with the pepper. A lot of people in Texas use this simple method
Just made a 16 pound brisket following this and it was awesome, all thanks to you homie!
Great video bro! You keep things simple and informative and don’t over complicate things.
Cheers mate 🙏
One of the best videos on brisket I have seen. Great job.
thanks so much!
I recently got my first smoker, an Oklahoma Joe's reverse flow. This video easily helped me to improve my fire. There's definitely more consistency between the chamber temps and grill temps
I'm cooking my first offset brisket right now. Keep coming back as it cooks.
I'm so glad I came here before I started
How’d it go?
The cleanest smoker I've seen.
He prolly takes care of his shit
Fantastic looking Brisket !!!!
I got a Char-Griller for xmas and so glad i stumbled across your tutorial, i will be trying my first brisket in the next few weeks and following this like my life depends on it!
Have you tried smoking brisket yet?
@kena2713 yeah we do it at work on the weekends with pellet smokers, I've yet to try and do it myself with an offset smoker.
So that's what the warming plate is for. Great looking brisket. Going to try smoking one this weekend.
This was great. Thanks for making it super simple to follow. Love the results!
Thank you Aaron ! I love your videos mate ! Keep up the great work. Also thank you for your fire management skills, great for us beginners 😊
Most welcome mate!
I am smoking a brisket for the first time this weekend and will follow your instructions and see how it goes. You make it look amazing. Looking forward to try it.
How did it go?
Best video yet , I’m going to smoke a lil 3.7 lb brisket tomorrow. I will be using your method . I can’t wait. Cheers 🇨🇦
Cheers mate!
How'd it turn out?
@@MrPigeonnn simply amazing , my family enjoyed it , the smoke ring and juice was a thing of beauty 😊
Well done. Great video. Great to see an Aussie video on brisket. 👏👏
Thanks :)
You have a good pace and structure as you go about things
Smoking up a 3 kilo brisket today for my birthday and this has been very helpful. This is the first time I’m using an offset so fingers crossed.
thank you for the great tutorial. not overly complicated like the other videos. would try to smoke brisket this weekend
Just a tip , cut the side of your basket , if you use one , so you can add wood through the side door , you wont lose heat in the fire box as you do by opening the top ....
Great tip! Cheers.
You sir are outa control. The smoking king 👑🤟🥳😎
🙏
Thank you! I didn’t know about heating the splits.
Nice video mate! Loved that Oklahoma accent!!
Cheers mate!
Who ever gave you a thumbs down must be a vegan!!
I think so too!
Wish we could still see thumbs down 🙄
Vegan or some other kind of mentally ill.
I have watched this video so many times and keep loving this comment 😂 keep forgetting to reply to it and agree 100% vegan for sure only good thing is they leave all the meat for us 💪🏽
@@envythis101 hahaha bloody legend!!!
Excellent brisket !!

Fresh ground pepper and celantro and a little salt. Perfect brisket
Dude!! Great video you made our Independence Day. Thanks
@@diondesoto that makes me happy! You’re welcome mate!🙏
Part of me wanted to go. May I? And take a bite!
Looks incredible. I’m doing my first brisket for Christmas
Thankyou 🙌🔥
Lol so am I. Came back to Aaron’s page to dust off the old noodle. Great minds think alike😂
@ 🤣🙌
Cooking mine now. 6hrs to go. So far so good!
Started mine at 10:30 am on Dec. 23rd and finished it off at 8:17 pm sliced to taste at 1:24 am. Perhaps the best brisket I’ve ever had. Thanks for the tips Aaron😊
Es el mejor video que he visto acerca de cómo preparar el brisket, mañana prepararé uno a tu manera
👍
Great vid, I followed a rib smoke of yours and mine turned up awesome so this weekend I'm doing brisket using your tutorial 😎
This looks good, need to try it out
definitely do
Most excellent idea with the tinfoil! Great job, thanks for your time. Can’t wait to do one like that.
You are most welcome
Really appreciate this! Trying my first brisket today
How'd it go? Doing one tomorrow!
Never seen that boat method gotta try it. Looks amazing.
I purchased an Oklahoma Joes Highland reverse flow using your discount code and man that thing is a beast! So much easier to maintain temps than my cheaper smoker. Thanks again for the great content mate, I’m 2hrs into a brisket right now 🤙🏼

Out of curiosity, how did you collect the fat? Did you just get a lot thinner pan, so it could fit on the plates/between the grates? I bought the same smoker, and am preparing myself to do a brisket this spring.
What code is this? I could always add another smoker lol
Never heard of a charcoal basket, that's really cool
Brilliant, thanks for sharing
Most welcome 🙌
Great fire management video and brisket video on the OKJ SO FAR !!! WELL DONE
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for using real wood real pits and not cooking everything in a pellet or electric cooker. I know everyone cant tend a fire like they should but lets be honest this is a good looking brisket. Probably a GREAT tasting brisket. You will never get this from a pellet cooker
I’ve been looking for a good starter smoker and the OJ offset seemed to be a good option. After seeing your results, I’m going to grab one soon! Thanks for the VERY detailed tutorial! You’ve earned another sub!
Beautiful brisket. Looks delicious.
That brisket looks amazing!!!
Great video mate !
Thanks mate
Thanks! Can't wait to try this myself!!
💪💪
In my opinion this is far and away the best method to cooking a brisket, I’ve been doing this for a couple years now and it gives an incredible bark, funnily enough I don’t see any of the American smoker channels doing it, maybe it’s an Aussie thing, love your channel, isn’t it funny how serious smokers have a small collection of em, I have 5 myself and use them all and am still often on the lookout for something different, cheers brother
Thanks mate 🙏
OMG!!!! 😍😍😍😍. 100% worth the wait. Insane looking brisket on a beautiful smoker and is that a fleece lined hoodie mate? Epic cook!!
Cheers legend, and sure is.
This is awesome. I just got an offset Char Griller and never done a brisket. Your video gives me enough confidence to give it a shot.
Really nice tips. Maintaining your fire is really the key to it all. If you can do that, you will have nice results.

@@LownSlowBasics 14 hours in the smoker. It turned out tender . I made a foil boat. Wrapped it put into the esky for a few hours. Was awesome
Legit just watched your video and then went STRAIGHT to the market to get a brisket lmao ... gonna try this method out tomorrow!
Another great down to earth, no b.s. video, thankyou! Two questions, fat cap up or down (and why?), you said at the end of the video this would be in your top three briskets…..what were the other two? Awesome cooks mate, keep them coming!
Thanks mate, one at our friends Smoky Pastures HQ and one by my teammate Callum. Funny enough both were black onyx briskets too.
Great video
Thanks mate!

Once again you did an amazing job, dang now I want to do another brisket lol My Oklahoma joe offset smoker is looking forward to it lol
Thanks mate :)
That looks crazy good😎 that juice tho🤤
Soooo juicy hey 🤩
Thanks man great video. Ima do me a brisket this weekend!!
Awesome video. Love your work
i wonder if adding a water tray at the hot end would help even out the temps
looks amazing, just tried the rendered fat trick today!
Oh nice! Works a treat hey 🔥

Can you cheat and wrap and put in convection oven to finish? Hard to manage temp on my cheap smoker
Sure can
Damn good job!!! Perfecting the offset
Thanks mate.
This is awesome. About to try my 1st brisket in the new smoker tomoz !
Holy shiznit my goodness that looks insane!!! Honestly the best looking brisket i have seen! Farrkk keep this going mate! 👊👊👊
Cheers legend
Just tried this today
@@altonjamison7269 how’d it go?
It was unbelievable
How long was that cook
Are you able to use manuka chips? Probably have to use quite abit or else burn quick?
Would burn quick I’d imagine
Great job!
How long was the cook and do you like foil boat better than butcher paper and did you let it rest sitting in the beef juices
Around 10 hours and prefer the boat.
Great video. What was your total smoking time? You checked it at 4 hours and added the boat, then checked again at 7 hours and took if off after ~ half-hour. So, 7.5 hours for a 7 kilo brisket? I'm doing one in the morning. Thanks!
I am wondering the same? How long was this total and what temp all around you are shooting for around 205 F?
This was a really great video. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey guys. New to smoking!
Looking at doing my first brisket soon. Just a few questions
1 - would you be maintaining the 250-270 the whole cook?
2 - are you adding wood to smoke the brisket even once you put the brisket in your foil boat?
3 - at any stage would you be adding more coal?

Awesome, def Gunna try boating next time I do a brisket! That looked sooooo good
Thanks mate :)

No worries mate.
fantastic cook per usual Aaron. in regards to the" boat" could you just use a large foil tray or is there secret special theory around the snug fitting boat you have made here ?
Hey mate! Thanks 🤘
You can use a tray but yeah I just think it’s better being a bit more snug and it helps create a little more radiant heat around the brisket.
I'm going to try that this weekend. Question did you cook that fat side up or fat side down.thanks!!
Did you have to add anymore charcoal to the firebox? If so do you add unlit charcoal or lit charcoal?
What gloves were you or do you typically use? Picking up the grill grate like that would be awesome!
Also what internal temperature do you target? And do you bother marinading? Do you use any binder for your rub?
Hey mate. Just gardening under gloves from Bunnings. About 96c, never marinate and I’ll usually use mustard as binder.
Looks great how many pounds was that brisket
what type of wood sorry i am new to this
Thanks for the video, how often do you water down the brisket to keep it moist?
If it weren't for you I'd be lost! 😅 love the detail and commitment you put into teaching people how to smoke/cook good meat.
