Brisket on my Mill Scale offset trailer smoker

[@knlfarmstx]

The trimming part of this video has changed my life. I will forever now trim this aggressively and add that to my chili. Can't wait to see the results!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Love the feedback. Cheers! -Matt

[@BendySendy]

This is the way

[@jonsmallwood1657]

It’s almost all about the trim and the rest.

[@meridian6042]

That's such an awesome idea. I was wondering what I could use it for since I'm not really interested in making burgers or sausages any time soon. Chili is now what I'm considering since my wife likes to do homemade chili.

Pro-tip for cooler resting. I boil water and fill up the cooler at least half way. Let it sit for few minutes to warm up the cooler. When I take brisket off the pit I leave it in the butcher paper and wrap the pudding out of it with plastic wrap after it rests for a few. Dump the water out of the cooler. Put a large bath towel fresh from the dryer in the bottom of the cooler. Put brisket in with wireless thermometer. Another hot bath towel folded up on top of it. Close the lid. You can hold it like that for 8-10 hours. You can monitor the temp with the wireless thermometer.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Conditioning a cooler is a must. Good call. I teach that in my classes. Most people pull a cooler out of the garage (hot or cold) and expect a miracle. Gotta condition it for hot or cold holds to maximize effectiveness.

[@9929kingfish]

I'm going to try this method. So I'm assuming you can maintain at least 140 degrees internal for 10 hrs with this method?

[@gosman949]

Sounds complicated..

[@leightaft7763]

I do the same but also wrap The brisket in a towel and I put a wire rack in the bottom of the cooler with more fresh boiled water. So the wrapped brisket sits above the hot water. It’ll hold 8 hours

[@WanderinWizard]

Great vid love it shows the true how to progression of smoke 101 I feel Like I still need to go to a pittman session just pay tip the man that helped me learn how to cook and make some of the best brisket my familys love it I would start a business but I’m a trucker for life. 21:23 on the rest methods I do a brisket paper or foil always rest leave it in the oven for a few hrs then turn up to min 170 on the LG oven 😅for about 1-2 then shut off let it sit with a prob in it or whenever I need it the next day and keeps it just right till cutting time🤤 so good I’m just thankful I found yours channel 4-5 years ago I would argue the best at explaining pit mastery to regular grills cheers🍻 to you and your crew / family sir. More in depth personal how proteins pork beef etc I’ve watched all of the brisket and this one just shows so much more from an Oaky to a Texan 🍻made skills thank you.

[@nhrabandit]

Slicing my first brisket I realized the importance of a good knife for best presentation. This video brought back some memories, lol.

[@theshuttschateau4632]

I’ve been pulling my brisket and butts at desired temperature and ambient air rest for about an hour. Then I’ve been placing them in those inexpensive Oster type roasters for us average joes. The roasters temp down to 150 and I let them stay minimum 6 hours but usually the 10 hour area as this allows me to sleep and prep for a great day with friends. I’ve seen the experts do this and I believe this is the holy grail of large meats to become butter tender without being mushy and the collagen has all melted away. Of course not all of us have that length of time but it’s certainly a game changer. If possible, give it a shot. 👍👍

[@2005Pilot]

Desired temps? Does that mean fully ready or pulling early like at 190f?

[@theshuttschateau4632]

@@2005Pilot I kinda put that because the “desired temp” is more of a feel rather than a designated temp. But generally speaking, butts and brisket approaching 198-200(accounting for carry over) is where I focus at. But yes, placing it directly to a roaster at 150 for minimum 6-8 hours seems to be the game changer. I haven’t failed yet, and that says a lot. Lol. But it takes a lot of time.

[@outnumberedbbq]

👍

[@FakeName39]

as an offset guy, 100% management of the fire for long 17 hour cooks is the hardest part, temps fluctuate. I have come out with some nice briskets, and i have come out with ones where the point was on point, but the flat was tough. There is an art to it.... my biggest advice do not ever think you will have a perfect brisket every single time unless you do it for a living. OH and REST YOUR BRISKET FOR AT LEAST 2 HOURS... you will see some of these guys do a hold at 150 for damn near another day... but as a family man.. and a hungry family at that, Miss Brown wise words, "Ain't nobody got time for that!" also man... aint nothing like cooking some damn good brisket and having a beer too.

[@Breitman123]

Every one of Matt’s techniques is born from experience. Thanks for sharing.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thank you!

[@theseahawksfan16]

Pretty glad I have an oven that will go down into the 140s. Did a brisket last weekend for mother's day. Cooked it all day/evening Saturday, put it in my oven at 9:30pm and served at 4:00PM the next day and it was incredible. The long hold/rest is where it is at. Highly recommend, it's a game changer

[@masterofnonetv8361]

A lot of great tips! Ive been cooking my briskets overnight for quite a few years now, starting about 9 at night and finishing around 10 the next morning, resting in a cooler till dinner. It works perfectly and im not stressed about it not being ready for dinner. On time, everytime!

[@johnnunez17]

Boom, my home state cooking……👍🔥🇺🇸🥃

[@egviking1]

Matt, thank you so much for all the work you do and educating us in the process! Until this video, my briskets were only average. I tended to let it rest for an hour and they never came out as tender as they could have. The big message that stuck with me in this video is that the rest is as important as the rise in temperature. I cooked a brisket yesterday using your rubs and when it hit 175, I wrapped in foil because I felt I may run way past dinner time. It reached 203 and I let it rest in the foil next to the smoker in the shade for 4 hours. It was THE BEST brisket I've ever made and everyone in the house totally agreed. Thanks again!!

[@deguz1414]

Your enthusiasm is amazing! You can tell you really know BBQ and love to eat it even more!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thanks Cody. It's my life!!

[@derekcox5745]

Im literally doing my first ever brisket in the early morning, little nervous but ive learned so much from your videos over the years, watched them all multiple times. I buy all your season rubs too, best ever! Im in oregon and found your whole line of rubs at a traeger store in my city, and i just saw holy voodoo at Lowes! Love your videos and all the great tips and information! Much thanks!

[@Edible_Semtex_]

How did it go man ?

[@raymonddettlaff1386]

This was a really good trim lesson. Mainly because every brisket is a little different. So it's good to see how you managed it.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thanks!

[@lyleswavel320]

Always good to be reminded, especially since most of us don't do this every month, smoking something else, I smoked a brisket in March and forgot to slather with mustard/pickle juice and I could tell not as much rub stayed on

[@2005Pilot]

I have been using Worcester - might have to try pickle juice or mustard

[@bludragon77]

I think a grinder video on brats or making burger meat from trimmings would be awesome and informative

I have a brisket in the freezer that I've been saving for when family comes for the graduation of my oldest. They live in and around Tulsa, OK and they need to experience some Central Texas BBQ while here in East Texas. An offset is definitely on the wish list. That and a nice sized griddle. Thanks again for all the cooking tips. I think this coupled with some brisket mac n cheese would make for a fine meal! Also, maybe I'll make it to a cooking class one day too!

Contrary to popular belief - Brisket DOES NOT carry over like a steak does. As soon as you take it off the smoker, it won't go up in temp. I've tested this with hundredsssss of Briskets over the years and not one of them has gone up even 1 degree after removing it from the smoker! Keep crushing the videos!!!

When I smoke on my pellet grill I do brisket fat side down and on the offset I do it fat side up. Fat side down on the pellet grill seems to render the fat more and protect the meat in the flat a bit more.

[@johnhowe3410]

Great stuff Matt! Have you ever thought about a video for creating and maintaining a fire for long cooks? Like actually showing what the fire looks like, and filming how you solve spikes/low temp and preventing how to not get into dirty smoke situations. Its a hefty investment to get into a smoker and that's the #1 reason I'm still on a pellet smoker. Kind of like your other vids, a good baseline formula and the tricks to tweaking things.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Yea I need to do a fire management video. Thanks for that!

[@michaelclark9939]

I know it's convenient for Matt, but I much prefer videos where he starts and ends with the same piece of meat instead of having one ready for the wrap. But as always love watching the videos everyweek.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Some great tips there about keeping it warm. I just checked my oven and it goes down to 104f. The only issue here in the UK is getting a flat brisket. It's always rolled and never that big.

[@KrisMak]

First, thank you for all the content you do. Every time I fire up the smoker to impress the father-in-law, I turn to one of your vids. You haven’t let me down yet. I have been subscribed for a few years now, and noticed you frequently say, “I’m not mad at it.” A vid I would be interested in would be maybe five things you have tried in the past, that you were mad at? Like what are some mistakes made that we could learn from… One of mine was as a young and dumb bachelor, trying to impress my date. I tried to “flavor inject” chicken breast with straight bourbon. The driest chicken I ever spit out… and we went out for dinner instead. On a side note, my date gave me a second chance and now we have been married for almost a decade. Again, thanks for all you do. My wife appreciates the impact you have had on my cooking. Stay you and be well 👍
