I dont think there's one brisket video that you dont mix up the flat and the point. But just ordered that injection. Great video bro

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

When you talk as much as I do it happens lol. Hope you like the injection.

[@jkbbq]

Those drums are looking good. Can't wait to see more videos. I ordered some Lucky Charms Play Bull to check it out. The Fowl Play was out of stock.

Wow not bad very good looking brisket nice smoke ring very tender and juicy amazing job

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

I appreciate it!

[@keithbevington513]

Great video..Very nice trim..Only thing I do different is trim completely clean on the point..seems to give a better crust for burnt ends. I do all of my briskets and pork butts on my drums

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

Thanks Keith!

[@Trumpetmaster77]

You got down on that one homie!

[@homehearthwithjules8596]

Wow James...that turned out great...made me hungry😁😋...

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

Thanks Julie!

[@prestonbuffington954]

That trim was a work of art. Finished product looked great. Two quick questions. Would a long serrated knife{ bread knife } work on cold meat to trim? Cooking over direct heat, as in a drum, would trimming all the fat from the point, for burnt ends work, with out burning the point?

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

I wouldn't use a serrated knife for trimming the brisket. You want to meat to be nice and smooth after you trim it, and not have any jagged edges that the serrated knofe would cause. You can trim all the fat off the point if you're cooking a really good graded brisket. I would leave the fat on if I was cooking a Slect or Choice brisket. The higher quality briskets will have more fat in the meat to help keep it moist.

[@prestonbuffington954]

@@CentralTexasGrilling Thanks Good luck in your comps.

[@smalltownbbq600]

I just won one in a football pot and seasoned it already and cooking briskets tonight

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

Good luck with it. I’m cooking a few tonight myself.

[@campbell6137]

I need to try hot and fast but after spending 60+ bucks on meat it's hard to stray from what I know works. Good job

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

The window for error is smaller, but as long as you monitor the internal temp you should be ok.

[@MrKeex05]

You’re brisket trimming tho! 👏🏽👏🏽 just ordered the pork injection 🤙🏽

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

Awesome! Hope you enjoy it.

[@wade6584]

Looks great, did cooking brisket in foil pan mess up the bark

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

No. It's like cooking in foil except it allows air to flow throughout the pan better. You might get a spot here or there, but I think the bark comes out better.

[@wade6584]

Great, thanks a lot!

[@CookingwithKory]

Dam good looking brisket!

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

Thanks Kory!

[@RichsRiverSmokersWestVirginia]

The brisket was tender and and tasted great

[@oscargarcia-rr4ee]

Thanks for your knowledge always......Your drum experience, diffuser plate yay or nay for brisket? Flavor differences?

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

I don’t use a diffuser plate for my brisket. I like for it to get a little char on the bottom personally. I think it adds for flavor without the plate.

[@homehearthwithjules8596]

I like that you save the au jus for the next cook... brilliant!!!😁👍😉

[@johnshultz9557]

What kind of knife did you use to trim brisket looks like a bread knife without the serateded edge

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

It’s a 12” slicing knife from Dexter.

[@johnshultz9557]

@@CentralTexasGrilling thanks

[@jasondestun3199]

Hey how come you would trim the whole point off of a competition brisket is it something because you don’t need it most of the time or does it just cook better like that and present better

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

Hey Jason! Sorry for the late reply. I take off most of the point for comp briskets because that part of the brisket doesn't really get turned in. In a KCBS event you would use it for burnt ends, but down here in Texas we don't do that so you really don't need it. It also helps the brisket to cook faster since it's smaller.

[@martinflores7354]

That is some nice slicing carnal

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

Thx Martin!

[@JuanGutierrez-vm3iz]

James you have some of the beast tip a way to cook 👨‍🍳 on grill, thanks so mush God bless you and your family

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

I appreciate that Juan!

[@sugparra2057]

J-Midas smoking that brisket to gold!! Nice work as always. One question: why would you cut the point off for comp?

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

I can't really turn in slices from the point in comps so I trim it off. I'll leave just a little bit on there but most of it isn't useable.

[@WillieKlondike9482]

Brother James you defiantly carve/trim/prep the prettiest Brisket of all the You Tube Barbecue community. Not Harry Soo! Not Justin and not Joe from El Paso. Just to name a few. I made a Prime Brisket from Castco for the Fourth of July on my new Webber Summit Charcoal Smoker. I was on point on my point, but my flat was dry. I use Blacks Barbecue rub on my short beef ribs and Brisket. Can you recommend your favorite Rub for Brisket and Short Beef Ribs? Thanks

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

Thanks for the comment Hector! There are several rubs I like for brisket. A few are La Barbaqoa, Fiesta Brisket Rub & Coarse Black Pepper, Kosmos Q Texas Beef & Cow Cover, OakRidge Black Ops & Crawford's Burnt Beef Rub.

Aim'em and Claim'em Smokers thanks

[@bzcooks4220]

Good video bro!!!

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

Appreciate it brotha!

[@emilioguerra5075]

Fantastic cook, James. When you are cooking your briskets hot and fast, what internal temp do you like to use as a gauge to start checking for probe tenderness?

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

It kinda depends on the quality of the meat, but usually I'll start testing for tenderness about 202 degrees.

[@johnr.6163]

Wow that brisket looks awesome! Are you using any type of heat shield or baffle plate?

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

No. I have one I can sue but I didn't use it for this cook.

[@AMadrigal72]

What brand and type of knife are you using. You make it looks so easy!

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

Here's a video I made showing the knives I use... kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3-TpqV5jriDe6s

[@Dubweezee]

I'm interested where did you get that tray? And the video of the rub i can't find it.

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

You should be able to find the tray at a restaurant supply store. The rub isn't available at the moment. The individual that makes it is currently in the process of having it mass produced.

[@Dubweezee]

@@CentralTexasGrilling is it a bakery display tray? The 26x whatever lol

[@Dubweezee]

@@CentralTexasGrilling I had another question... when you use the LC pork injection do you use chicken broth with it instead of water?

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

@@Dubweezee I use a 50/50 of both.

[@JuanGutierrez-vm3iz]

Love it

[@robertoneal7508]

James - how far does a bag of LC brisket injection go - how many briskets this size? (Just roughtly is fine idk if its 1, 2, or 5+ lol) Thanks for the video. UDS is my main smoker, so appreciate seeing em especially.

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

With one bag I can do about 5 briskets I would say.

[@mlzz805]

Do you recommend putting the brisket in the freezer for a while before you start trimming?

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

YES! It's always better to trim it when it's cold.

Welcome Mike! I appreciate you stopping by and thanks for the comment.

[@smalltownbbq600]

Do you use water pans or no

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

Not on my UDS, but I do on my WSM. I usually cook them faster on my UDS so that’s why I don’t use one.

[@smalltownbbq600]

Ok cool. I wanna try the 250 range see what it does.

[@smalltownbbq600]

Let’s just say first attempt was a failure at 230-250 range.

Can do a video of smoking just the brisket flat?

The brisket flat is the part of the brisket I dislike the moist, however, I can probably do that.

Where do you buy your cheap injectors at? That one looks like it has a pretty good thin needle
