I usally over cook mine and the end results are the usual for over cooked brisket. I watched a video of you slicing one of yours at your restaurant and the one in this video and I noticed how it had a "jello" like jiggly look to it. I was like "that can't be done". But I know now, jiggly, in this case, means perfection. Great tips!!

Even in the USA this style of BBQ is not available most places. Its very unique to Texas and the states surrounding it. I had a chance to visit Texas a couple years back and tried some great BBQ. It was easily the best meat I've had in my life. When I got back home, I tried every single BBQ place within 50 miles of my house and you just can't get anything like this. I got the $1k smoker and have been practicing making briskets and watching these guys on youtube to get their secrets. Even though I've only done a handful of them, they are already better meat than you can get at any restaurant in town. And now I get to help share this wonderful food with other people who, like me, had never been to Texas to try the real thing.

I love the whole hog in Georgia and West Virginia, the awesome chicken, and white sauce in Kentucky and California? Well... they have a lot of avocados there I hear.

Now my second time, my biggest concern is I will trim this 12# brisket to the size of a 6 oz. filet, but going to try and follow your instructions. Thanks so much for your videos. Sometime you might do something about wood and meats, which woods with which meats, mixing fruit woods with hickory and or pecan on briskets and Boston butts, I think that could help the novice like myself.

I'm 66 yrs old and shopping around for a smoker. watched loads of videos looking at high end and middle grade. I"ve grilled with charcoal and gas for years but only the usual steak, hamburger, chicken. I use to smoke turkeys at thanksgiving on a small smoker. I'm just learning about smoking. never had brisket or grilled any.This video was very informative along with the other video of preparation. Thanks for going slow and giving plenty of detail. I enjoyed it very much and appreciate the humor. I'm ready to try it but first I need to get a smoker. Thanks Franklin. Phil in SC

I'm sincerely sad that you are 66 and have never even TRIED brisket! If you want a good beginner smoker to learn on, look into UDS style (Ugly Drum Smokers). You can buy them assembled for a few hundred or if you enjoy a good project you can build them for as cheap as you can source materials.

Yea I've watched some vids on the barrel cookers and that is about as easy as it gets, and affordable. I purchased a smoker and will be doing a brisket at some point. First thing will be ribs. Thanks

Hey man can I get some advice from you or anyone else here? I appreciate any help guys! So I smoked my first brisket (6ibs) yesterday and it came out pretty good but not as well as yours or others I've scene. I used a Brinkmann Smoke n Grill (I'm only 18 so my budget was limited, however after the mods it gets the job done!) I maintained the temp right around 240-250 degrees and had a Maverick dual temp probe so I know the temp was accurate. For the rub I took it out the night before, covered it in Worcestershire with kosher salt, fresh black pepper, and garlic powder. With the fat side down, I used apple wood chunks, smoked it until int temp was about 165, double wrapped it in foil, and then put it back on until 200. I then let it sit for 2 hours wrapped in more foil, a towel, and a warmed up cooler. Question1 - there wasn't really a "bark" or texture formed on the outside, it was wet and kinda sloppy. Should I have used more wood, or different wood? Or maybe more or a different type of rub? Question2 - the weather temp was like 10 degrees and when i took it off the smoker to wrap it, the internal temp fell about 15 degrees.. Would that screw anything up? Question3 - it was tender but not as tender as yours. Maybe I should kept it in until 210?
@Cooliepops9 жыл бұрын
Joe Kolesar Sounds like maybe you wrapped it up a bit early? The foil is obviously going to create moisture so less time wrapped would give it a better crust. One hour seems to be a fairly standard time to wrap it and put it back on. Of course opinions will always differ. I would go more by the 'probe' test as opposed to internal temp. If the probe slides in easily it is good to go.

@voodoochef1009 жыл бұрын
Joe Kolesar Since you're only doing 1 brisket. I wouldnt bother wrapping it. Especially with foil. You're making pot roast when you wrap it in foil. The reason why you would wrap it, is to protect the bark when you're doing volume/multiple briskets.

I live in a loft. Don’t have a wood smoker. But I used my dads water smoker this weekend while still follow Aaron Franklins principles of temperature control, trimming, seasoning, spraying every hour or so, and monitoring and controlling the smoke. It was my first time ever doing a smoked brisket. Did it for twelve hours, and while I recognize things I didn’t wrong (I didn’t trim quite as well because I didn’t trim a part as much that he doesn’t trim as much, but he doesn’t because of how his smoker directs heat), but the finished product was still delicious. Cooked for a family dinner party of ten, and they were raving about how tender it was. If you don’t have the same equipment he has, don’t get discouraged; simply adapt and listen to what he says, because the pay off is absolutely worth it.

My family of 4 can easily run up a tab of $75-100 at any given restaurant. Buying and making a whole brisket myself I get a lot out of it, I grind the trimmings for burgers and render the fat for tallow for cooking and baking. A $50 whole brisket will feed my family many times more than a $50 visit to Franklin’s.
