Brisket On The Oklahoma Joe's Bronco

[@hiddenacresoutdoors]

Looks outstanding! Our Bronco is still in the box. I'll assemble it and do a burn in tomorrow. We have a full packer sitting in the freezer just waiting for the right opportunity to cook it.

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

Let me know how your cook goes!

[@angelriosgonzalez4235]

Greetings from Leander. Got my Bronco 2 weeks ago, found your vids. Did my first brisket last weekend. Done in about 10 hours. One bucket of briquets, minor adjustments on the vents from periods to keep the temp in range. the fire kept going for about 15 hours. Thanks for posting them!!!!

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

Thank you for watching! I hope my videos were a help. Its good to know someone else is satisfied with their Bronco. It seems like you're going to have a blast with your Bronco. What's going to be your next cook?

[@angelriosgonzalez4235]

Thanks for replying so quick. Really enjoying it yes. Watching videos like this one did helped a lot in setting it up and temps to use as goal. Great content. One more cook and I believe it covers the cost of the Bronco. Thinking on doing a chicken next. Would like to see hints on clean it up. It seems straightforward but general ideas on what have worked might be great!!!

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

I love hanging half chickens. Or a whole chicken.

@@angelriosgonzalez4235 A fellow Texan here. How do you smoke brisket? Any secrets?

[@edwardmiskotten2380]

Love your work.

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

Thank you!

[@thomasjobe3915]

I never check Temps on a brisket. I wrap when I get a nice bark and I pull it when the entire brisket is probe tender.

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

The way to do it!

[@bunnylou4993]

Curious what you set your pipe numbers at, intake and chimney in order to maintain 270F?

[@highontaiwan]

Thanks for the video. I just got the Bronco and smoked some spare ribs and pulled pork. My next smoke will be brisket.

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

Nice did you cook the brisket?

[@ozjuice]

you put the biggest chunk of wood for the 12 hour part?

[@JuanMartinez-df1lc]

Thank you I watched a few of your videos doing king cooks on the bronco. I didn’t know how to long cooks n brisket I used your method and it works badass

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

Thank you for watching! I'm glad my video helped you.

[@angelzamora7325]

What charcoal do yall typically use?

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

I first started using Kingsford. But about 2 years ago, I started using B&B charcoal, so far that has worked best for me. Especially when I do long cooks in my Bronco or Weber Kettle. Recently, I have been using Cowboy Brand charcoal, and it has been impressive. I've used it in my Bronco and Weber Kettle and have gotten great results.

[@angelzamora7325]

@@MoesBlackGoldBBQ probably another stupid question but obviously not match light charcoal. Do you use lighter fluid at all or just let the charcoal catch on its own?

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

I don't use lighter fluid. I use a charcoal chimney to start my charcoal. Or if I pile my charcoal together, I will use a Firestarter, like a Weber cube Firestarter.

[@KS-eq6hs]

Im doing a 7lb brisket soon, Would the time be the same even smaller the size like check at 4hrs? Also, what internal temp is smoking a brisket based on when wrapping and at the end, the point or the flat? Flat will cook faster...Thanks

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

The time wouldn't be the same. All beef cooks different, no matter the size. Cook the brisket at the temp you want on your smoker. When wrapping, I wrap to the color of the brisket. Once it's gets to a mahogany color, that's when I will wrap the brisket. Once the brisket gets to the internal temp of 200f that's when I start to probe the brisket to feel if the meat probe goes into the brisket like butter. That's when I stop cooking.

[@KS-eq6hs]

@@MoesBlackGoldBBQ What would you say to check it at for the first time still 4hrs or lesser? I would like to keep temp at 225-250 Thanks for the info

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

@KS-eq6hs I always check after 4 hours. No matter the size of the brisket. I want the smoker to be untouched during those 4 hours. That's how I do it.

[@KS-eq6hs]

@@MoesBlackGoldBBQ Thank you I appreciate your knowledge

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

@KS-eq6hs You're welcome. Let me know how the cook goes.

[@thatfishingdude813]

Just subscribe to your channel. I also purchased a Bronco a few months ago. I've already smoked baby back ribs, pork chops, brisket flat and salmon. And here I'm finally going to smoke me a small 8 pound brisket, needs a little trimming. But I'm going to do mine texas-style just salt, pepper and garlic powder. Thanks for sharing your video tonight

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

Thank you for subscribing and watching. It means a lot. It's great to hear from people who own a Bronco. Its such a fun and fantastic drum smoker. Keep me updated on your brisket cook.

[@thatfishingdude813]

@@MoesBlackGoldBBQ brisket came out pretty good. It took me 13 hours just for an 8lb brisket but I was cooking it low and slow between 230 & 250. I had a little bit of leftover today so I end up making some bacon wrap jalapeno poppers stuff with cream cheese and chopped brisket inside came out pretty good

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

That's usually the time it takes me to cook when I cook below 250. When I cook at 275, I can get #10 brisket done in about 9 hours. Sounds like you had a good cook and had a great left overs meal.

[@nonamegiven5744]

Hello from Red Oak Tx… my old grill just collapsed and was thinkin bout purchasing the bronco. Wife and I love fajitas, can I grill fajitas on this thing?

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

Yes, you can. The Bronco converts into a grill by moving the charcoal basket up, close to cooking grate level. You can grill whatever you like.

[@miguelarrowsmith421]

Glad to see you back bbq on the bronco bro!

[@luiscontreras0513]

Do you do fat side up or down ?

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

I do fat side up. The majority of my cooks I do it that way. But if I'm gonna run my Bronco hot, I will do fat side down. Let the fat take the brunt of the heat.

[@luiscontreras0513]

[@MiNnEsNoWmAn]

What size bronco do you have?

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

I have the 18 inch Bronco.

[@Emvilla25]

Nice!! Do you also get the temp spikes when the wood catches? I normally have to close the intake when my chunks catch, then I open it back up. Thinking next time I'll just let it ride.

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

I get the temp spikes. Majority of the time I leave my intake alone and my Bronco temp will drop back down close to my desired temp. When it's windy, I will have to fool with the intake a bit. But as you know the bronco maintains temp perfectly.

[@BrianJamison]

I found a tip online that has helped me and that is I put my wood chunks on the bottom of the charcoal basket and then put the charcoal on top. That has pretty much eliminated any temp spikes.

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

Thanks for the information. I will definitely try that.

[@jeremycummings7249]

I finally ordered the correct intake pipe and I hope I'm able to get long cooks. my question is after a few charcoals light and you drop it in the pit, do you wait until grate level temp is right at your smoking temp or do you wait until its about 25-50 degrees away?

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

Great on you getting the correct intake pipe. I normally place the meat 25 degrees before it reaches the cooking grate level temp that I want. Seems like for my Bronco, once it gets over 200 it quickly gets to my desired temp of 250.

[@dutchvelcamp7844]

Man, that's a lot of wood!

[@odiebravo4543]

Niceeeeeee....What did you spritz the brisket with

[@mastaangler7055]

Did you spray every hour or just the 4 and 8 hr mark?

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

After the 4 hour mark I spritz every hour until I wrap the brisket, but if the brisket doesn't look dry, sometimes I won't spritz it. Pay attention to what your brisket looks like. Some people don't like to spritz, because they feel it doesn't allow the rub to set properly.

[@mastaangler7055]

@@MoesBlackGoldBBQ I usually use a 50/50 beef stock and water spritz every hour till wrap time, I’ll try your method on my Bronco this weekend. Great Vid.

[@MoesBlackGoldBBQ]

Thank you. For USDA Select briskets, I like pouring the beef stock into the foil or butcher paper when I wrap. Everyone is different when they cook brisket. It's all about having fun and finding out how you prefer to cook.
