So you mentioned the two muscles with grains running different directions and split them because of this. Then you sliced them the same direction anyway, did I miss something?
Looks wonderful!
Thanks for this video! Very clear and practical 🙂
I normally separate the point and flat when trimming and use the fat and trimmings to make tallow and beef cracklins I find it quicker and better uniform cooking….
I did everything step by step, smoked at 225, it was a 12 pound Brisket trimmed, also used prime, I tried 2 both times the bottom of my brisket burns, the bottom gets so hard I can’t even cut thru it, I just don’t get it?
She needs to tie her hair back. Not good video with her hair in the meat
Great video, my only question is after you wrap it and put it back on the grill do you keep the fat side up?
That brisket looks awesome. Is been a while since I've smoked a brisket. I'm thinking I'll make one for my Dad's birthday gathering in a couple weeks. I have an offset all wood smoker. I usually use small logs of apple or cherry wood. Are there any different tips or procedures your have for my smoker vs your pellet smoker? In the past, I wrapped in foil after 6 hours. Is parchment/ butcher paper better for wrapping than foil? If so, why? Thanks!
Hey Girl, quick question. When resting the brisket, do u wrap it in a towel and put in a cooler right after pulling off the grill or do you rest over the counter first and then towel+cooler?
You said you were going to flip it over and explain when to do it. But you don’t mention it again.
Nice! 😋
This girl has spunk! Great video
The art of smoking Briskets is really all over the place and I don`t think there is really any wrong ways as long as your Brisket comes out nice and smoke flavored and not dry. I personally never trim any fat from a Brisket before it is cooked as fat on the outside is your friend and leaving the fat on evens the playing field on briskets that are Prime, Choice and Select meaning you save some money and get about the same results. I have a smoker that can easliy cook about eight briskets at once if needed but usually stop at about five due to I don`t like the meat sitting to close to the firebox and I love using oak wood since it is plentiful here in Texas. I like smoking them at around 275 to 300 heat wise and smoke them arond five or six hours, wrap them in foil will about half a beer, slide them to the far end of the smoker and cook them another five to six hours as I put on my pork ribs and eveything is done about the same time.
After you wrap it do you go higher than 225?
Noticed you added to your burnt ends , it appeared as the last slice cut from the point before moving onto the flat? Can you confirm please?
freeze your brisket will add hours to your cook time. ????
After wrapping, does it matter if you put it back in Fat up or down ?
Great video. Followed.
I am a beginner smoker, and I really like your simple, step-by-step demonstrations. I have a 22 lb. prime brisket to cook for Labor Day and appreciate your timing tips. Thank you.
At what point did she flip the brisket on the smoker over?
