Is it just me or is the T1 $109… bcuz that's the same price on Thermoworks…
I used a smoker for the very first time, it was a terrible experience! Had family over on Easter, and my cousin took over, didn't wait for the charcoal to become hot white, he just dumped it in there when he saw flames, so we had this thick, white gray smoke and he just threw the meat on there, and then I had a lot of meat to cook and he just threw it all on there at once, so it was nasty! Tasted like smoke, and nothing else! It was horrible!
I'm in the market for an instant read thermometer. Does anybody have any recommendations?
Totally agree with your comments on the Thermapen. I wasted lots of money on other ones. Now when I am at a friends house and they aren't using one, I make a note and have one sent to them the next time it's birthday/father's day/Christmas.
Realy nice experiment! I too didn't like the 3-2-1 ribs much when i tried it the first time. Then i realized, 3-2-1 doesn't mean 3-2-1 hours, but units of time.
So as a unit i took 30 minutes. So 1.5 hours of smoke, 1 hour of wrapping, 0.5 hours of glazing. That turned out MUCH better for me, perfect amount of smoke flavor, almost fall of the bone, with a little bit of bite left, and done in 3 hours in stead of 6
I hit the Holy Grail Jackpot last year when I visited my son who lives in London. He took my wife and I to John Lewis Department store and they had the Thermapen One on Clearance for £35! ($45)There were 3 left and we bought them all. One for me, one for him and one for a friend of my son's. Hands down, the best instant read thermometer out there.
Where did you get that charcoal chimney?
Probably would have been better if you just treated it like a regular brisket. Wrap it when you’re happy with the color. Check for 205. Let it rest over night.
As an offset guy, drum smokers have always been a strange concept to me. Hot and fast, low airflow, and lots of harsh dirty smoke just spits in the face of all my BBQ experience. I have been considering possibly trying one out though. I have a hard time believing that it’s going to produce better food than my 250G offset or my Chudbox but if I was ever in a rush, I’d be interested in having a faster option.
My drum runs at 275 briskets done in 6 hours just wrap at the end and rest perfect for the back yard
I'm for sure going to try this I'm going to change a few things I think 300 in a gravity smoker wrapped with paper and tallow and rest it over night in a warmer
I use a 22" Weber Smokey Mountain at between 250- 275 for briskets and 275-300 for beef ribs and they always comes out nice and juicy.
Hello Jeremy. I clicked on the Thermapen link and the price is the same as usual, $109. Is there a discount code or something? Thanks, I always appreciate your great videos.
I give up. I’m making bologna in the microwave.
1:38 why does everyone one say they are going to add a card for a video, or click on a video here and it is never where they are pointing?
Cool video dude.
Fat side down…. SKIP!!!
Bought the thermapen. You earned it!
20:22 love the joking jab towards Bradley. 😂😂😂
Do you reckon he has the cheapest price for the thermapen?
Any chance you could reply with a link for the knife you use to slice your brisket? Enjoy your videos. Keep it up!
In case you guys didn’t catch it. Best deal you are going to get on a thermapen. Didn’t know if he said that
Ha! I made it easy for myself. The first thing I ever smoked was Steel Head Trout, which is a type of salmon. It was only a 2 hour cook but it gave me much needed fire management experience and temp monitoring experience, not to mention it was super fun. Fish turned out very good.
I took advantage and got a Thermapen!
Adding sous-vide somehow to this method would be interesting. guga drop in maybe
Cool technique!
$15 thermometer off of Amazon hasn't failed me once!
Best method for drum smokers:
Step 1: Light a good fire. Use a high quality lump and fill your coal basket up a little over ¾ of the way. Using a charcoal chimney light about 14 briquettes or so. Once briquettes are semi-ashed over throw them on the lump in you coal basket, usually right in the middle. This can all be done either outside of the barrel or inside.
Step 2: Throw a couple of post oak chunks directly on your lit coals. More than 2 or 2.5 chunks is not necessary as you can easily over smoke. No need to bury the wood chunks in your lump first, as this will cause it to smolder, and that can also lead to over smoking.
Step 3: Replace all of your barrels innards (baffle, grates, etc). Open up air intake damper(s) and close lid to let your fire come up to temp. 250°F is what I like to cook my briskets at.
Step 4: Once cook chamber temp is steady put your brisket on (fat side down for the entire cook). Fat side down acts as a shield for the direct heat.
Just let your brisket roll for a few hours at 250°F, with spritzing along the way a couple times until it hits around 165°F internal. From there you can either wrap, foil boat, or let it continue unwrapped until the internal temp you like. Some take it to 185°F, others go till 195°F, and others go into the 203°F and above realm, your choice. Hold the brisket for your desired duration of time, then slice and serve. I personally like to let it rest 10 hours, but I would imagine at least 4 hours. Longer rest makes for more tender and juicy results.
Check out the video on my channel for the complete process.
Nice video man I have an experiment that would love to see. Show the Weber Smokey mountain smoker with the thermoworks billows fan and controller would love to see the results and efficiency
Great video….. drum smokers are amazing… I’m going to purchase some T shirts and seasoning… for all your hard work….. Thank you for experiment.
Hah, you don't hear somebody say they would not recommend what they just did very often! I'll stick with my overnight method looks like. I'm sure Brad's dog really likes the bbq, he just can't voice his opinion 😉
Man I wish you wouldn’t have put it back on unwrapped. Should have threw that thing in a Cambro and rested it for a few hours and it would have been on the money. Brisket on the drums are awesome because you get a smoke and grill flavor all in one!! Good video 👍🏻
Massive fan ere in the uk
But I thought u shouldn’t see the smoke or a light blueish smoke
Even though u cannot see the smoke ,it’s there
Buy the $80 pen..i make money on your purchase..
The first brisket I ever smoked turned out perfect but I can't take all the credit for that. I binged your entire channel and took notes and after combining everything i learned I had a comprehensive step by step method. Thanks Jeremy!
A 6 hour brisket sounds good to me
Is this dean cane
Good video. I'm going to try that but still give it a rest at 140 in a foil boat for fifteen hours.
Jeremy I think there is a whole new class of videos involving two smokers/grills, in one cook. For example, start a long brisket cook on an offset, move it to drum and go to sleep.
Hey Jeremy. Long time lurker of your vids, wanna say thanks! This CA boy with just a Traeger has learned how to turn out some decent BBQ! Thank you!
Anybody know where I could get a Thermapen for a discount?
Didn’t work on ribs let’s do it on a brisket!! Naw I enjoy everything you put out.
Thank you ! I been wanting a thermapen one for a while now. This is going to help step up my bbq game.
went a little much with the thermapen plugs….
Hey Jeremy, where can I get a large charcoal chimney like the one you used in this video? I’ve been looking far and long.
