I just bought a 13 pound brisket for $27 at Kroger. They had a BIG sale at $1.80 per pound

[@mauibuilttjb]

It's hilarious hearing the ice cold Miller Lites kick in throughout the video/night and then the next morning he's back to normal :)

[@jakeheyer622]

A perfect way to show anyone that if they don't have room for multiple outdoor cookers or spent good money on your American made grill, they can use it for anything and everything!

[@garryhammond3117]

This was a great cook Brad. If nothing else, it does highlight the many ways one can cook a really good brisket. Thanks - Cheers!

[@Beatle4]

I live in Southern, Ontario, Canada and for a brisket about that size, it would cost anywhere from $80.00 to $115.00 depending on the time of year. Summer months are when the prices are higher of course.

[@brewerfireguy]

This was actually a good, fun video and it was cool to see your charcoal stack. Very good video.

[@RodneyPyle]

Alot of time, Brad, when it comes to cooking something - it the opportunity to try somethin a bit different and creative. Thanks for the upload, too. Love those options you offer me!

[@Herman_vi]

Brisket runs around $12-15 per lbs here in the Netherlands. They're all imported, mostly from South America or the U.S. Sometimes they'll go 50% off and I stock up and fill the freezer. Mostly I stick to short ribs which are more widely available from local sources.

[@derontucker7173]

Holy crap!!! I get $2.89-.$3.49 for choice grade $3.49-$4.99 for prime here in Texas… I couldn’t fathom paying $15 for a 15lb brisket @ $225… craziness brother.

[@Herman_vi]

@derontucker7173 That's for select and choice U.S. briskets too. That's why I usually go with the Angus briskets from Brazil or Uruguay. They have much better marbling and tend to be a little cheaper.

[@Sir.J01]

got the same issue here, also from the netherlands and i wanna try my first brisket cook soon. Been seeing some offers online for about 110/140 bucks a brisket for 5kg. Way to much in my opinion, do you order your briskets online or do you buy them somewhere in ea store/butcher?

[@derontucker7173]

@@Herman_vi at least you have options, and aren’t stuck with one

[@Herman_vi]

@Sir.J01 I get them online at inamood or bbquality whenever they go on sale. I also check at the Makro whenever I'm there.

[@petersmith2650]

Great vid thanks Chud👌 We pay around $12per lbs for grain fed brisket in the UK and 13lbs is about as big as you’ll find. It’s typically imported from Spain. It doesn’t have much fat cap but inter-muscular fat is ok. I have once managed to get an Australian wagu but it feels freakin crazy buying something imported from the other side of the world. I’m grateful to have found a local supplier as demand is currently pretty low as folks haven’t been educated or exposed to how amazing good bbq is. Everyone who tries it loves it and I’m sure it will get easier and more popular over the next few years. Hoping to do a ‘research’ trip to Austin soon. Any TX beef suppliers here who know about import/export to the UK please get in touch…..

[@THutch556]

Great cook, this is why I do like the Weber Smoky Mountain. I can load it with charcoal to last 18 hours easily, without ever touching it. It’s just as easy as a pellet grill, but better flavor with charcoal and wood chunks IMO. And then you can also remove the water pan, inserts and use it as a excellent direct cooker.

[@zacherymorgan97]

I find the bark produced by the WSM to be superior to what comes out of the typical pit boss or traeger most people have as well

[@brgable]

@@zacherymorgan97I completely agree! Not knocking the pellet cookers I just prefer the flavor from my WSM more.

[@jasonscheidl6210]

Aaah, just gone 12am in oz and now i gotta stay awake for another 16 minutes!!! Worth it! 😁

[@Snabelskorna]

I live in Sweden, and we typically don't get brisket-style pieces. Our briskets are thinner, and commonly brined, boiled, and served with horseradish sauce. I bought a brisket once (US-style). It was 8 pounds, and set me back $190. Insane prices, compared to what I see in American videos.

[@Eighty8BBQ]

Another great video! 🔥🔥🔥

[@tylerpeerson]

I just bought a prime brisket from Costco in Tukwila, WA for 4.79 or maybe 4.99 per pound. They also had choice for 4.29/lb.

[@MichaelVaughan-y5t]

Yes...Costco... pretty good brisket for the reasonable price. But will be stepping it up....plan to buy a 1/4 grass fed steer this winter from a local rancher ....total estimated to price per pound after processing...$9/pound. Mostly steaks and roasts...of course brisket but minimal ground beef.

[@d3et1roi3t]

I was on a 2 year smoker run, all meats on a smoker. Wife bought me a sns for my B day and the first steak we had charcoal/lump coal was amazing. Havent used the smoke in a while now.. but It will get used.

[@markszablewski6619]

I do the same thing, get on a 'use the smoker kick', then make something hot and fast on the weber, then the cover doesn't come off the smoker for a few months..😅

[@jasoncordeiro2018]

Wow great price! In Canada, I just picked up a AAA black angus brisket for $6/lbs. That's the cheapest I've seen one in a few years. These days at Costco locally it's more like $9/lbs.

[@aaronfox5808]

The candy bar in the tool pouch was great. The meat looks awesome more importantly.

[@brooksclayton7945]

Looked good brother!

[@christophertate2099]

I’m a sams club plus member so I go early and sometime they have them for 3.25 lb but the cryovac is usually loose. I’ll trim it and vac seal it back up myself and have a perfectly trimmed brisket in the freezer for whenever I need it

[@timd5944]

Long time watcher, first time commenter. In Illinois and they think a rest is 15 minutes after you take it off the grill. I don't have a holder so I use a roaster with a rack. Oil in the bottom and brisket in the rack for a proper hold about 10 to 16 hours. I have learned a simple stupid thinking method, folks up here got no clue and think their crap is bomb. I about to set. Fire in Rockford and they gonna fail. Thank you for All you teach!

[@SaucyRossyBBQ]

Bud amazing cook, but what else do we expect! Up here in Canada a brisket starts around 120$. If you want it to be a good brisket then its around 150$. I'm happy to see you try the snake method with the new chud box. Its such a great way for new BBQers to learn! Separate note, enjoy that heat buddy, it was 35.6F the other morning when I went to work, I had to scrape my windshield... Canada eh! Those burnt ends really were adorable. That chud box build quality is clearly great. Have a great day dude!

[@toms9873]

Similar principle to my gravity smoker. Set the temp and forget it, and get great smoke? Best of both worlds. I’d love to see you try a gravity smoker video sometime. You are my BBQ coach, and thanks for all you share 🫡

[@danielurena2816]

Awesome been waiting for this video! Gonan try my first brisket on my Weber kettle next weekend!

[@Ace24Crush]

Awesome video as always. Really enjoy learning new cooking methods and what can work on different cookers! Maybe you could use any leftovers for a lasagna or beef barley soup with cheddar biscuits haha!

[@DefenderTIM]

"There's a snake in my grill."

[@SidebandSamurai]

I have used the snake method using my Webber kettle and cooking ribs. It was really nice. a great way to regulate temp. I used burchetts (Kingsford) which works really well for this method. I would like to try lump or Fogo charcoal to see if it will all go up or it will burn the same way.

[@craigjohnchronicles2504]

In a couple of weeks, I'll be giving a brisket a shot on the TMG Dumpster. Still trying to figure out if I want to do a snake method on the lower grate, or just build a small fire in the lower right side of the cooker, and place the brisket on the top grate on the left side... really excited for this cook.

[@bswd]

So now you must do 4 briskets simultaneously, one on each cooking platform -- offset, pellet grill, kettle, and chudbox grill. Blind taste test with the crew. Scorecard each of the methods for ease of cooking, color, texture, and of course taste.

[@jonyoung6405]

I use a Weber Kettle. The Snake Method is great for setting up your BBQ at night , then go to bed and finish it in the morning. Cheers.

[@RichardRodziewicz]

Out in ct it’s about 4.29 also in Costco . Great looking brisket.

[@craigjohnchronicles2504]

same price in SE Wisconsin at Costco.

[@fread51]

I can't wait until we see some new holiday recipes even though it's 90 degrees in October in Texas

[@boraakgerman]

you seem like someone who never gets angry

[@stephanechevalier7616]

I have often used aluminum between the rows open on one of the ends. Like a labyrinthe style. It works great and cheaper than buying a smoke grill that they sell online

[@robinwhitehead]

I’d be tempted to put a barrier between the 2 lines of briquettes so both lines don’t ignite at the same time - and get more of a single line snake burn towards the back of the grill box and then back towards the front?

[@tommanning7337]

Very nice!!!!!!! 😎👍🏻👍🏻

[@TacoSupreem]

Snake method video on a Webber kettle! I’ve never cooked a brisket. I want to try on my Webber.

[@leonardcianciotto547]

Nice! I wonder if it would have benefitted from spritzing or a water pan under the brisket

[@williammueller768]

In Virginia. All I ever find is Choice Briskets. Doesn't matter if it's from a box store or grocery store. But, to me, brisket is brisket. And they still come out good

[@skaus2184]

You could use a length of angle bar that runs most of the width of the cooker, and use it to separate the snake so that they only connect at one end. You may be able to get away with not having to touch it at all.

[@Larryjknight]

Sam’s Club is an excellent source to find good brisket. They have both Prime and Choice at the club here in Gainesville, FL. I’ve been very pleased with the consistency I’ve had with every purchase. The price of the Prime is $4.34 lb and the Choice is $4.18 lb.

[@russellrofe4849]

In my part of NC, $4-6 per pound in the few grocery stores that have them. That is for select grade. Prime is rare unless it is from a meat distributor or higher end butcher shop. Pork is cheap here.

[@braddaratha8021]

$17.58 for a 3.5 lb. Brisket in Western Canada. Enjoy your videos.

[@brianbetz1420]

Would you foil boat on a regular pellet grill or wrap in butcher paper?

[@toddpower4674]

The last few briskets I've got have had that long floppy piece on the point also.

[@RodStiffinton]

It’s always $4.19 per pound prime at Costco in Nebraska.

[@michaelduncan2759]

Bradley sir, ‘round here down Costco way in VA Beach a prime brisket is around $5 per pound. However, I prefer Porter Road, or Heritage, you pay more but the marbling is consistently better. Heritage also deals with amazing heritage breed pork such as red wattle, some of the best I have ever eaten.

[@vinman403]

Up in Alberta CDN, $115 for 15LB or 83 USD

[@crazytyler6705]

have you tried the gravity fed smokers also adding wood?

[@russellcrawford4809]

Dangit that looks tasty 😊

[@jwigley3835]

What kind of briquettes did you use? I use Kingsford usually but I don't think I would want to do the snake method with them since they seem to have chemical additives that burn off at the beginning when they ignite.

[@colbygolson4611]

Would love to see a brisket cook on a Kamado style cooker!

[@herb7877]

I've been using one for several years. I also do it on a Webber WSM. The Kamado uses about 1/3 the charcoal and keeps a very constant temp for 8-10+ hours w/o adding any fuel. It allows me to sleep thru the night w/o any concerns about checking temps or fuel. The Weber requires a lot more hands on. I do not have an offset; but I do see & taste a difference between the two I have.

[@microatleewardcc3834]

@@herb7877Which one do you think cooks the tastier brisket? Trying to decide between the two cookers.

[@herb7877]

@@microatleewardcc3834 This may not be a really fair test as I've used the average Kingsford charcoal briquets in the WSM & several varieties of the lump burnt wood type charcoal in the Kamado. IMHO the lump stuff all has different taste brand by brand. One,smelled & taste like a house fire after its extinguished. May be my fault by not letting it burn long enough after lighting(?). The standard briquets are pretty neutral. The WSM I've had way more (years) of experience; so when taste is the only qualifier; it goes to the WSM. WSM requires a lot more coal & time management though. Last week using the Kamado I lit the fire and burn it hot for ~30 minutes so all the coal was white. It took all the bitter smoke taste away. So not much of an answer but thats been my experiences. The Kamado is great for Pork Butts. Last one was ~9#. I cold smoke from 7pm to 10pm. cook from 10:30pm till morning when I wake up ~5-6 a.m. Fire is still good and adjust as needed. usually done by 11-12. Wrap & rest in my cooler & serve `5-6 p.m.

[@leemasterfizzle]

I get mine from Costco here in AZ, usually prime is around 4$ a pound but at the grocery stores it’s about twice that much.

In Sacramento CA, I sometimes get Prime brisket for $3.50 a pound at Costco. That's the cheapest I've ever seen it. Some meat shops are doing double or triple that around here.

[@ginjeff]

Pacific NW. Costco: American Wagyu (when they have it, which is often) 6.99/lb, Prime, when they have it (not often) 4.99/lb, and choice IIRC 4.49? I can also get brisket at US Chef Store, last I looked choice was on sale at 3.79.

[@CH-ec5on]

Cadbury candy bar.

[@05xlt]

I really don’t like the flavor from briquettes, but somehow I don’t really notice it when I do the snake method. I’ve done it a few times making bacon, and it’s turned out great. I’ve wanted to try the snake method with lump, but I’m afraid to waste the charcoal and the meat if something goes wrong. Might just have to man up and go for it!

I can't get brisket for less that $10/lb in Massachusetts, and that's grocery store quality which usually means choice grade. I would do crazy things to be able to get a brisket for $60 because you're not finding anything sub 100 up here, and if you want prime, forget it. That you have to order online for $125+

[@jtd4847]
