- Thank you for watching my smoked brisket experiment video. On this video, I smoked 2 briskets, one the traditional way I season a brisket and the other with the exact same rubs but I added MSG to it. I invited a few neighbors to see if they could taste the difference and well, you'll have to watch the video to see their reactions.
Thanks for watching

Feel like I’ve been waiting 12 years for an honest video on MSG in BBQ. Granted MSG works best when it’s complimented by other natural flavors that lift our taste bud sensors. Excellent video Joe, deserves to get more views than tallow!
Props to Harry Soo as well. He’s been shouting MSG from the mountaintops for years.
Answered some questions I been wondering about! Thanks Joe, you’re one of the best!
Very cool that you included your neighbors Joe.
Love my neighbors
You got some lucky neighbors being able to be taste testers for your BBQ. I remember when MSG was said to be bad for you. Chinese places would offer meals with or without MSG. I tried the non MSG versions of my favorites and they tasted off. Always ordered with MSG since. Nice video, thanks!
Hey primo, I have familia in Paso and I really like when you get the neighborhood involved. ♥ Gives me faith in humanity again. 😊
The taste testers were a great addition, very interesting to hear their impressions. Everyone has their own taste experience. Great brisket cooks. Cheers Joe.
I loved the blind test with the neighbors, that was awesome!
Great and helpful video. I'm going to buy a bottle of msg now. I was kind of skeptical at first, but, you changed my mind.
Damn Joe, both briskets looks mouth watering 😋, great job!!
Thanks for making this video.
Thank you for watching 👍
Your Excellent to Me. for us Your the best 💖
I really like, real world test. Nice video
dude i love this channel. texas bbq science experiments!!
Karen seemed pretty worried when you said they picked the brisket with MSG lol.. ive done this experiment myself and i have to come to the same conclusion as you. MSG is FLAYVAHHH!!!! Uncle Rodger would be proud of you.. lol
This is why I love chupacabra brisket magic rub. So good on beef.
Thank you for watching this video. This is the very first MSG brisket on TH-cam! The recommended ratio for MSG on food is 1/4 teaspoon per lb of meat. If you enjoyed this video, check out this mayo brisket next. th-cam.com/video/bRQCg_Lld64/w-d-xo.html
Didn’t Harry soo have like a whole series on his channel about using msg?
@@lou_mat8256 not sure. I thought for sure @Guga would have an MSG brisket but I didn't find it.
Yep ... I use MSG alot. Don't tell anyone & miraculously no one has any adverse effects. My ratio for something like brisket is 1 part each of Lowry's/garlic salt/MSG/granulated garlic. I come over the top, separately with 16 mesh pepper (pepper first per Jirby).
Joe that experiment was awesome and you proved your case. Well done.
Thanks Gary!👍
MSG used for generations in Japan and still sold and used today.
Always enjoy your neighbor comparison videos! 👀🤘🥩
Thanks Wep!👍
I like the way you do it B&L Texas BBQ says Hello
I don’t use MSG on everything, but I do use it. It does enhance flavours. Last time I used it was very sparingly trying to make marmalade and it did not work well for me. You try stuff and sometimes it does not work.
Lucky neighbours 😊
First let me say that watching that taste test makes me wish you were my neighbor. I've been cooking with MSG for years and it's a game changer. Great video sir
I wish I was your neighbor! 🤤 🤤🤤
Great video
Nice job Joe , that Brisket looked delicious. You are a big inspiration for us smaller creators 👌 👌 👌
Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
I’m trying that SPG and MSG on my next brisket. Thank Joe!
I get SO HUNGRY watching your videos! Hahahahaha
Thanks for watching buddy 👍
My mom told me a story, about my uncle Roberto who always had a plastic bag of white powder that he would sprinkle over his taco meat at his taco stand in Mexico. She was 6 at the time and remembers hearing people assuming it was some sort of drug like cocaine. Later when my mom was in her 20s she found out it was MSG. Great video Joe, you always get good ideas ahead of the curve. 👍👍
Great experiment! Now we know👍😊
Hey Bobbi, thanks for watching 👍
MSG the OG flavor enhancer for the win! Excellent cook bro!
Yeah bro, I'll definitely be using this again. 👌
I trim my brisket like you... I think it makes a better brisket.
But also because brisket burgers and sausages from the trimmings is sooooo good
Wow you had me fooled, I thought the 2nd was the MSG brisket, great video, gracias for sharing...
Thanks for watching Robert. 👍
Awesome video, Joe! MSG gets a bad wrap. I tried a steak experiment with SPG on one and MSG and SPG on the other. There really was no comparison. The MSG steak had so much more flavor.
Going to do this this weekend but on a pellet smoker - will probably not wrap either.
Joe does a brisket, I watch. lol Your right. MSG grabbed a bad name along the way. Joe invites the neighbors in for a brisket showdown!!! Good job Joe. MSG for the win!!!
You should try siracha as a binder one time…… you’ll love it!
Both briskets look fantastic Joe. The steaks I have seasoned with MSG have a darker, savory flavor. I will try it on BBQ next. I dig these comparison videos, very informative! Take care!
My man first and foremost great trim job and I use MSG in my comp brisket but I never tried on a Texas style brisket. Now I will. Thanks for the brisket experiment.
1) where do you live? i need to buy a house next to you. 2) it's crazy that people thought the non-MSG brisket was "saltier" when MSG is thought of as being salt on steroids. great video. for sure proved MSG's value.
That was a great blind taste test. Great job Joe
Thanks for sharing that Joe! Wish I was in that tasting line!!
Great video! You need to do a sausage MSG experiment next
I bet a lot of people don’t realize that a lot of their favorite BBQ rubs has MSG in it. Great video all around as usual Joe 🤘🤘
Hey Ryan! Very true. Thanks my man!🤘
That's why I make my own rubs.
People dont realize autolyzed yeast extract, glutamates, and/or hydrolyzed vegetable protein are all sources of the same effect.
Msg. Is for the smoke ring. We used in comps in early 2000.
Neat experiment!
Thats a great video Joe, I been wanting to do similar for a years but. glad you did it. Msg is a good natural ingredient like you said but has a bad rap from many years back, just not true. Cheers brother.
People seem to only be concerned when they are told there is MSG in the food but will eat foods with it all the time with MSG in it unknowingly. Great experiment.
That briskets looked delicious brother.
You tricked me. I thought the msg one was B. Lol. Great video. 😀
Great video again my friend...and there you go once more with those crystal clean grates on the frontiersman... give it up please...LOL
They both look great 👍
Thank you!👍
Excellent cook Joe. Have to mix it in with my rub with a mayo binder this weekend. 👍
I bet it's going to be delicious.🤘
I had to come back and revisit this vid. For starters I enjoy you as a knowledgeable presentation in the hopes of learning more and to see the confirmation of your experiment. BTW, my order of SPQR MSG arrived yesterday and I used it today .
Brisket all the way!😋👍🏻
Great information !! I will give it a try.
Great video Joe. I can remember my mother using MSG in her cooking. I’m really not sure that she ever stop using it over the years.
I will give it a try also.
Thanks for sharing and keeping the smoke rolling……
Thanks Bill, I think it was used more in the past than today. 👍
Great video Joe..! MSG is not my friend. It triggers migraine headaches in both my youngest son and me. I do respect someone's right to use it though. I always enjoy watching you create your masterpieces..
Yep, same here.
MSG is posion to us Migraine sufferers. I think it should be outlawed
Hey Smokin Joe. I have an 8 pound brisket, how long should I smoke it and at 225 or 250
Great video. It makes sense msg is great. I put some in the rib rub I make or in my fried chicken.
Totally awesome video! I’ve not heard anything necessarily good about the MSG but really paid very little attention to it anyway. I bought my first brisket yesterday and will be cooking it this weekend. I’m extremely excited about it in this video come at the perfect time. Appreciate you a ton!
Great looking briskets Joe. Just wish I was your neighbor
You should try one with manteca
I am firmly on team msg. It is actually a nice way to reduce the sodium content in food. My favorite surprise use of msg is on cottage cheese. A true game changer.
There is a product that was, and is in many kitchen cupboards in North America, called Accent. That is just MSG (monosodium glutamate). I believe MSG was invented in Japan, in the early part of the last century. It is derived from seaweed, which contains it. Foods like tomatoes, parmesan cheese, shiitake mushrooms, and other foods that we consume also have naturally occurring glutimates in them, which makes them taste so good. Umami is one of the other taste sensations that we have, besides salty, sweet, sour and bitter. Those briskets look really amazing. Your neighbours have excellent taste in barbecue. Cheers, Joe! 👍👍✌️
Yep. I don't use accent salt as much as I use to but I have used it on briskets plus I love the chupacabra brisket magic rub and it has MSG
Great experiment. Will try MSG on my next cook.
Joe, I am so glad you did this video....I use msg in all my rubs to make them mouthwatering and I get crucified for it
It's people that are not educated on MSG. I did a ton of reading prior to this and the history of MSG is pretty cool. All because 1 man thought he had a reaction to it. 👍
Ha ha, I use MSG on my briskets, but I don't mention it to my guests because of the stigma attached to it..
@@SmokinJoesPitBBQ there was a spell of people not wanting food with additives (e-numbers) in it as all were assumed to be bad because no one explained what they did.
@@SmokinJoesPitBBQ If only 1 man had a reaction, why is there a name for that reaction? "MSG symptom complex" is real (according to the Mayo Clinic) and I have experienced it (got a first hand EDUCATION, not from reading a bunch of books)and it was not fun. I had every symptom listed on the Mayo Clinic website. So to claim only the uneducated THINK they have a reaction to MSC is total BS! Statistics show that I am NOT THE ONLY ONE. And why does the FDA require any product with added MSG to have it listed on the label? Go ahead and use all the MSG you want, but you really should tell people who eat your food. Until you have a reaction, you will NEVER understand.
Let the bashing begin !!!
MSG is the king of flavor! Uncle Roger would be proud
I have been using msg for years. I never thought of it as harmful in moderation. I sprinkle it on everything.
Try it on popcorn with a touch of garlic, you will be amazed.
Thanks for this video
From Kevin gerein,a Saskatchewan Canada bbqer
If you were to add it to your SPG rub you posted with Lawry’s, would you dial back the salt? Like 2 parts pepper, .75 parts salt, .25 of garlic and lawry, and .25 msg? Or add it in addition to the ratio, and if so how many parts would you do msg? Thanks for the video! Thinking msg would be an awesome add to a lot of my rubs for chicken and beef, and maybe in sausages
They all looked defeated when you revealed the ingredient. MSG is what won Goldie’s the number one spot. It’s in beef bouillon.
Another great video,must be great to be your neighbor!
This is why I put shiitake mushroom powder in my brisket rub. It brings out that umami flavor like the msg is designed to do.
Very true. 🤘
Can't wait for Uncle Roger to weigh in. Good luck on becoming Uncle Smokin' Joe.
Go let him know. 🤘
Seems like I’ve been using MSG a little to light after your explanation. Thank you!! I’ve noticed a huge difference in Sous Vide Steaks with MSG, really brings out the beefy flavor IMO. Grilled steaks with MSG are still noticeably better vs no MSG, but not as drastic as Sous Vide MSG vs no MSG.
Great cook! It’s good to see a honest side by side. But what’s up with the way back in the 1900s, making me feel old.
Damn, looks amazing. Well done Joe
Billy was loving it finger linking good dam I've heard about this msg I really have to try this out great cook joe
LOL the look on your neighbors face when you said you want to know what the difference in brisket A was 🤣. It's MSG don't worry 🤣🤣🤣. Great video Scotts BBQ in SC , he calls MSG Jesus tears and uses it on his whole hog BBQ. His cookbook has a seasoning blend recipe.
Their reaction was priceless!🤣
Funny you just did this video. I did a brisket last weekend and tried MSG on it and the taste was great. I always use MSG in my fried chicken so I thought what the heck.
A friend sold his burger joint several years back and gave me the rub recipe when he left...one of the ingredients was msg. I use it for so much more now.
Msg is a good flavor booster, but I'm aware some people can't have it!
That's false. MSG occurs naturally in many things. There may be a few people who actually can't have it, but *most* people would never know the difference.
Yo G Rich! I don't know of anyone personally that can't have it but I have heard that some folks can't eat it. This has been a secret ingredient in Chinese food for decades now. I remember back in the 80's when people freaked out over MSG, now a ton of food has it in it. Thanks for watching my man. Hope the wife is feeling better. 👍
@@SmokinJoesPitBBQ straight facts Joe!
Most _can_ have MSG.
@@SmokinJoesPitBBQ When I was in my 20's MSG and I did not get along well. Eating it gave me a mild hot and prickly sensation on the back of my neck. Made me selective about Chinese restaurants in particular. I no longer have any reaction to MSG. My wife and I love peppers, but she has a nasty allergic reaction to serranos. No other varieties. Go figure.
I've
been using MSG on steaks for years, and it is the best for a cheaper cut of meat.
My MSG is ordered and on the way! You really need to bring over a KCBS judge to sample!! That would be me......LOL
Hahahahaha that would've been really cool buddy! Thanks for watching Mark. 👍
@@SmokinJoesPitBBQ Going to Alamosa Colorado Friday for their comp. Chris is slated to be there. Then Lubbock 2 weeks later. Excited to attend some comps for sure
I ain't here for a long time but I am here for a good time. MSG for me please 🙂
Joe, MSG makes it impossible for me to sleep after I eat it. I don't have any other adverse reactions, just that I can't get my mind to quiet. Thus I avoid it at all costs. But a great video. I love this one. It reminds me of your pulled pork video, where you polled the neighbors. Always helpful to get outside perspectives.
Oh man, that stinks. So you don't eat cheese, mushrooms, nuts & tomatoes or is it MSG in the raw that messes with you?
So you don't eat fast food?
@@jaylancaster5419 I don't eat fast food. I haven't in years. Every once in a while I will get it from a restaurant but I am pretty careful. I'm really not sensitive to any food other than that. Like I said, I just won't be able to sleep.
@@SmokinJoesPitBBQ It seems to be just the raw form, as it is highly concentrated. I definitely eat those other things, but they aren't main contributors to my diet. A lot of meat and leafy greens.
Very nice experiment and great looking briskets. I also use MSG, shhh don't tell anyone. 😜😁🍻
"Thank you guys!!!!"
now get out
lol
lol....pretty accurate 🤣
Wassup Joe , don’t know if you remember in a Live video But I was asking about marinating a Brisket overnight in the Fridge . I see you done that in this video . What did you store it in or how how did you store it ? Mines didn’t turn out well marinating it in the Fridge overnight 🤷🏽♂️
Excellent video Joe! Wonder if you can dissolve the msg into the spritz bottle for different effect?
Not sure Johnny. Thanks for watching 👍
I think I just got a migraine seeing all that MSG used! LOL
🤣 Don't you start!
MSG makes my fingers swell. There is no doubt that MSG enhances the flavors.
The seasoned salt is adding more actual salt in addition to the salt in your rub. The MSG is a flavor enhancer, so whatever you are using will have a more potent tastes.
Both are adding salt. 👍
I. Look for untrimed tri tip adds more. Flavor to it
Thank you for the video. Great job! Do you recommend using less salt in your rub when using MSG?
He never answered this but I personally wouldn't. MSG doesn't taste salty at all, it's completely different
Fuiyoh! Uncle Roger approved!
Who is the Uncle Roger guy? 🤣
Uncle Roger would be proud with the use of MSG... 🤣🤣. Im gonna have to try this .... on everything I smoke now..👍👍
I'm gonna look up this Uncle Roger guy . Thanks for watching 👍
@@SmokinJoesPitBBQ look for @mrnigelng ... Asian Comedian that does video reviews ... and hails MSG in the highest...lol
I love MSG. I put that ISH on everything 🤣🤣 I have to say tho, BILLY went in on them Briskets lmfao 🤣 CHEERS BROTHA 🍻🍺🤜🤛
Do you think Franklins uses it?
What was your modified SPG for the MSG brisket?
this is my main secret, msg makes everything better.
