      It's concentrated rub, and you can tell it uses table salt. Salty as hell. However the best brisket I ever cooked was with an Everglades seasoning that was salty out of the bottle. Don't discount salt for flavor in the long term. Dry brining a 13-pound brisket now

    @dadboddamien ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thats how we do it in TX... Well At least I do... low and slow... ride out the stall and don't wrap it until it's time to rest. I typically will do 205 for 2.5-3 hours per pound or until the internal temp reaches 190-195... then I'll pull it and wrap to rest. Best one I ha was on the smoker 26 hours then rested for 4 . It melted in your mouth like butter.

    This is what I am talking about. I don't subscribe to all the tips and tricks because I have had real simple briskets taste really outstanding. I've seen videos where people didn't even season the meat, which is mindblowing. I'm trying to go for the cook that makes the meat stand out with the minimum of spices and coddling. On a grill it was all about marinades to drive flavor into the meat, switching to a smoker, it was about rubs adding flavor, on an offset, it's about wood flavor, temp control and time. It's not an easy thing to master but when people are asking what rubs and marinades you are using and you say "none" they understand the skill you have and the time you spent and appreciate the food even more.
    Highlight of my backyard BBQ "career" was when I served about 14 people and they all sat down and said completely nothing for about 5 minutes. They all went to their own happy place when they were eating my ribs, pulled pork, and smoked pork loin sandwiches. Pure silence.

  • @gregvaughntx
    @gregvaughntx ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I've eaten at Blacks. GOOD stuff! I wanted to touch on one off-handed comment you made that all Texans use post oak. Well, in south and west Texas, mesquite would be "the wood that was in grandpa's back yard" and used for bbq. I know mesquite gets a bad rap in some circles, but that was the bbq I grew up loving.

    • @Syndogon
      @Syndogon ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'm from the Southwest and i think it's because some people don't know how to properly use mesquite. I believe you have to use it in small amounts.

    • @BehindTheFoodTV
      @BehindTheFoodTV  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good point Greg and Syndogon. I do know a lot of people from south TX that love mesquite. I personally an not man enough for all of that flavor, but maybe if I try (as Syndogon suggests) using it in small amounts I'll find the right balance. Something to add to the list......

    • @re7206

      4 years in south texas. A northerner that knew nothing about bbq. They used only mesquite. One guy gathered oak mistakenly for a cookout. Was teased for months. As he was a native south texan. All grilled. Never saw slow cooking. Mostly sirloin. And beef skirts. And chicken. They probably did other ways at home. But direct grill wvith mesquite was all i learned there. This was.1980-1884

    I read in a forum group ages ago that Black’s utilized a two stage cook process. If they’re cooking to 80% doneness, after the stall. Interesting that they chill down the meat 24 hours, then reheat. Notice he didn’t say it goes back on the smoker to hit maximum doneness so could be using warming ovens. Cool to hear the truth directly from Barrett, the rumor is now truth. Met his dad, Kent several times over the years, even met his grandparents, as they lunched with their church Pastor on Sundays. Texas BBQ legends!

    • @BehindTheFoodTV
      @BehindTheFoodTV  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Ryan! Man I never thought of that possibility - but there were briskets on the smoker coming off for lunch service so I'm pretty sure they get smoke both days - which explains in a big way where all of that flavor comes from!

    • @ryangies4798
      @ryangies4798 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@BehindTheFoodTV It's been pounded in my brain from many TH-cam pitmasters that meat only takes on smoke for the first 3-5 hours of the cook. Just look at those who cook "Hot n Fast" as opposed to "Low n Slow" for example. I'm not saying this is Gospel but putting that brisket back on the smoker to re-heat might be diminishing rewards (especially if covered in butcher paper) and the same if not better results could be accomplished with a warming oven with a humidity feature. Just thinking out loud here! Really enjoy the vids... look forward to tomorrow's cook!

    As a Central Texas resident I have been to every major bbq restaurant and I can say Black's is pretty good. Is it the best...I don't think so but they make a good product. The only downside is if you buy the seasoning from them seperate it is incredibly salty. I bought one and tried it and just could not even use it because of the high salt content. It's different on their meat and I wonder if I got a bad batch, but you won't be unhappy giving them a try.

    • @BehindTheFoodTV
      @BehindTheFoodTV  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Snake! "Who makes the best brisket in TX" might be the most controversial question in US history - I guess it's "who do you love". One thing I can say about your experience with the rub - is that you have to use it sparingly because the salt is table salt. If you load it up like an Aaron Franklin dalmation rub it will definitely be too salty. I filmed my attempt to recreate this and I think you can see how lightly I seasoned it well in that video. If you haven't seen it, here's the link: th-cam.com/video/7B4kQZSn93A/w-d-xo.html

    • @SuperSnakePlissken
      @SuperSnakePlissken ปีที่แล้ว

      @@BehindTheFoodTV Great question. I've been to all the big ones you can name but it always comes down to Franklin's and Snows BBQ. I've been to Goldies and it is incredible too. Goldies is as close to Franklin's as you can get and I think it is because one or two of them worked there at some point.
      Snows BBQ is unique and different from the other two but is absolutely delicious. It is only open Fri,Sat, Sun, so it is incredibly hard to get the food.
      With that said, I have a Yoder 640YS pellet smoker that all but keeps me from going anywhere now because it makes BBQ so well. I also have the Yoder Kingsman stick burner and it hands down makes the best BBQ I've ever had outside of a high end restaurant.
      Spend the money up front and you'll save a fortune just eating at home. Cheers!

      @@BehindTheFoodTV Already passed thru, in Alabama now. Not trying any bbq now cause in the Carolinas I would see a place, Google the menu and it would list bbq plate or sandwich, fried chicken, chicken nuggets and hot dogs. I understand the south likes its pork, but not only no brisket but no ribs or any other bbq meat. Anybody can cook pork, brisket is the true test. These places in the Carolinas would say they are a bbq and fried chicken joint. So I'm saving my tastebuds for Kuertz in Lockhart and goldees and Franklin's. But I'm not waiting in line very long, time's to precious to me. My plan is to go when the weather is bad so lines will be shorter, also going to Memphis and beef ribs at rendezvous

    Another great cook and I want to see you try this soon. I was wondering what Barrett did to finish his 80% cooked brisket? I guessing they do this so they can reheat to serve and this might a great way for me to keep my brisket in the frig for the week it takes me to eat the brisket.

He was a great hardworking guy that for decades put out the best brisket in the state. Barrett's dad Kent "pretended" to be a pitmaster but never really cooked like his nephews and apparently Barrett. I will say that wrapping the brisket in butcher paper after the cook is done will keep the flat end juicer.

    It's to bad his grandfather didn't teach him how to separate the two muscles and slice them correctly. My take from the day i ate there. The sausage had a good flavor, but never seen enough heat to make the cassing edible. Brisket was tender but just okay far as flavor. Potato salad was bought, not made in house. And beans were nothing to write home about. Bbq sauce was good.

      You know Guy, usually I don't bother engaging with ignorant trolls - but I'm in a mood today so you get a response. You either know nothing about cooking brisket, or didn't watch the video - or both. There was a ton of info in there about how they cook their meat - including at least one thing that a bunch of really experienced pros commented they've never seen before and likely explains the difference. I won't bother to point out what was explained because a) you don't deserve the effort with an ignorant comment like that, and b) the answers are literally in the video which my team and I put in a lot of time, energy, money, and days away from our families to make.
