In todays video I am going to show you how to smoke a brisket, foil boat method! Foil boat brisket is something that I picked up from Brad at Chuds BBQ, and from the first time that I saw it in his videos I was intrigued by the texture of the bark that it produce. So I had to try this out for myself.
The brisket I used started around 15lb but after trimming it was probably closer to 12.5lb. I used a yellow mustard binder and seasoned it up with some homemade brisket.
Brisket Rub:
– 2 Parts Coarse Black Pepper
– 1/2 Part Lawrys Season Salt
– 1/2 Part Kosher Salt
– 1/2 Part Granulated Garlic
I used my Camp Chef Pellet Grill for the smoked foil boat brisket, which I ran consistently at 250F for the entire cook using the Knotty Wood Almond Pellets. I never needed to spritz as the surface of the of the brisket remained slightly moist the entire time. When I achieved that rich color and texture on the bark, I pulled it and wrapped it in 2 sheets of heavy duty wide foil and created the foilboat brisket. Returned it to the smoker until it was probe tender (probe feels like its going into butter) and for me that was at around 203F.
The key at this point is to rest your brisket, and since this finished up around 6:30am I wasn’t even close to hungry! I let it cool down outside in the open air until it reached around 180-185F and then placed it in a foil pan (but still in the foil boat) uncovered in the over which I had set for 170F. I left it rest in there for the next 6 hours and let me tell you what…. my whole house was drooling as it smelled like brisket!
As you can see this tender brisket turned out phenomenal and was one JUICY brisket!
Now this isn’t a wagyu beef tallow brisket, hot and fast brisket, Jeremy Yoder brisket, Smokin’ Joes Pit BBQ brisket, Guga brisket, Chuds BBQ brisket, or an Ash Kickin BBQ brisket…. but this IS an overnight brisket using the foil boat method by yours truly… Anderson’s Smoke Show

My campchef hi smoke is 220 lol
Ok, so i have made a few briskets now and the flat always turned out to dry. Using this method, came out incredible. Thanks so much for the tips, foil boat is the new way for me.
Appreciate the nice short vids as well.
I have found from smoking trails bbq to take it to 190°, let it drop internally to 165°, wrap and let it rest in the oven at 150° for 16+ hours. Takes the probing aspect out of it.
Is your rub ratio by volume or weight?
Kansas City has better bq
I think over trimmed mine this time. Took too much fat off.
Great video. Thanks for really taking the time to spell it all out for this newbie to barbecue. You got yourself a new subscriber. Keep up the great work 👏.
Here’s an idea for a future video: cook a SELECT piece of meat. With high inflation we like hunting for those deals. Show us how to get a juicy and tender brisket using the cheapest meat.
Did my first proper foil boat today, finally got my first proper end result!! Coincidence?? In the words of Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, I don't believe in coincidences…
Great looking Brisket! When you rest it in the oven at 170 in the foil pan do you seal the pan with foil or leave it uncovered?
I'm sorry for the negative feedback, nothing new or different shown here. Feels like a regurgitated Chuds and Madscientist video.
Are u covering when u are resting it in the oven or uncovered at 170
I'd like to try and use my Pit Barrell Cooker for a couple hours and then throw it on my pellet the rest if the way and maybe try the foil boat.
When you rest it in oven at 170 is it covered or open top in that foil pan? Thanks
I did this last night however I was only able to keep it in the oven for 4hrs but it was the best brisket ever! We used black and tan seasoning on it and created the best bark. Picked up the seasoning at Walmart. Thanks for your video!
I'm going to do a brisket for the weekend and I will do a foil boat
Can i also use this on a grill instead of a smoker
Couldn't you just use a foil pan?
Makes me more confident in trying my first brisket!!
Hey man I use my weber kettle with the slow n sear. Do you think once I get to the point of doing the foil boat. Can i just boat it and throw it in the oven?
I'm trying a brisket on the masterbuilt gravity 800 this weekend. Think I should cook it fat cap down like you suggested for pellet grills or cap up like an offset?
