Mr. Rollins, may the Good Lord be with you and bless all you do. I’m an old retired vet and plan to finish up listening to your cook show, as long as I can. I am eating that brisket with you…oh, HAVE MERCY, sooo good. You remember when brisket was a waste meat, something to feed the dogs, cheeep? It sure is something how things have changed. Thank you for sharing your skills with us…from east Tennessee.

The last brisket I smoked, (Hasty Bake Legacy) I saved all the fat trimmings and rendered down at 250 in the oven overnight. The rendered tallow makes the best hash browns! After I do my rub, the trimmed brisket goes into the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, and rests for 2 hours before getting near my smoker.

[@kengrogg9603]

Thank you Cowboy Kent Rollins! With your help I finally cracked the brisket code! Your explanation and method translated to my Weber grill perfectly. I was able to keep a steady 250-280 temp, indirect heat, and 5 hours of mesquite smoke. Wrapped it and let it go another 4 hours at 250 and it was the best brisket I've certainly ever made. Cut like butter, perfect level of smoke. Many thanks!

[@VoodooViking]

We grew up in Texas Hill Country- Bandera, Tx. And grew up on mesquite and post oak. We did a trip to a friends in Kentucky a couple of years ago and found black locust wood and some mesquite really did the trick. Best results we ever found.

[@Last_Chance.]

Post oak is my go to for smoking. That and apple wood

[@mrexists5400]

I love mesquite, I was in boy scouts and every time we went out camping, there was only mesquite wood for fires. so it's not only the flavor, but nostalgia for me. Mesquite means "home" to me

[@nitromartini1422]

Try scouting around central Texas creeks and streams and pick up all the pecan limbs that you can find. When you barbeque pork using mesquite, put lots of those pecan limbs all over the mesquite coals, then add the pork. Pecan smoked pork is better than hot sex. Try it; you might divorce your wife.

[@VoodooViking]

@@nitromartini1422 apparently your doing the sex wrong man. 😆. I agree with ya, pecan is fabulous. Along with mesquite, post oak and a little soaked grape vine sporadically added. But that black locust man really notched and checked all the boxes. I’m serious when I say this, with a basic cinderblock smoker with tin on top. A full packers brisket, literally took 8.5 hrs. Plus sit time. And poured out juice. It was fantastic.

The longer you rest it the better. I have rested them for 24 hours in the cooler, or sometimes in an oven on warm. I split the flat from the point before slicing. Then you can slice both muscles exactly across the grain. It also gives a nicer presentation as you don’t have that huge intermuscular fat piece between the muscles.

People talk about dirty smoke but I love the deep smoke flavor, hit it initially with a ton of smoke hickory being my favorite with some apple or cherry mixed in, and let it soak into the meat, use the fat trimmings and some butter once it’s been smoked and wrap it up and let all that goodness Marinate, that’s what I like, every bbq person is different

About the hottest I've been able to get it is 180. That is with my smoker at between 300 and 350. I usually have a large brisket (18-20 pounds).

[@ahill209]

The reason for wrapping in the butcher paper is because the brisket hits what's called the stall point where it remains at a constant temp if not wrapped. Also, the resting in the cooler at the end is SUPER IMPORTANT if you want a juicy brisket. DO NOT slice a brisket straight off the smoker! Some BBQ gurus will recommend at least 4 hours to rest, and others will say to rest overnight. The brisket will still be warm in the morning.

[@punkem733]

At least 2 hours if you are in a hurry. 4-6 is optimal, but i do overnight in 150 oven. Long rest is as important as the cook.

[@TheDudeAbides1776]

Wrapping isn't just about the stall. The big reasons you wrap a brisket is to lock in the smoke level and color, help retain moisture, preserve the bark, and to get it through the stall quicker.

[@jda7819]

I've cooked briskets wrapped in butcher paper and cooked briskets straight through without wrapping. Both work great for delicious brisket, however, the cook time on both is pretty comparable and you really aren't saving much time, if any. My last two cooks were almost exactly the same amount of time and one was wrapped at 180 and the second wasn't wrapped until I put it in the heater to rest. With that being said, if you're cooking a brisket and worried about time, then you waited way too long to start it. Really anyone should plan on having 6 to 12 hours of time to rest (6 if you're rushed) and if your cook ends up taking longer, you still will have plenty of time to let it rest. Leaving it unwrapped gets a better rendering of the fat, provides a great bark, and then once you pull it, wrap it in tin foil or butcher paper, and put it in a cooler or a heater at 140-150 and let it rest. The key to not overcooking it though is pulling the brisket when it is somewhere around 195 internal rather than 202-205 range like a lot of people say. If you're going to let it rest for a long time and pull it at 202 or later it'll be dry (overcooked).

[@punkem733]

@@jda7819 It won't be dry if you unwrap the brisket after the cook, and let it cool down on a counter for 45 mins to an hour. By that time it will get around 150-160, then rewrap and rest in an oven or cooler.

[@daveweed2765]

Nah. Let meat rest 10 to 15 minutes. Brisket you cook slow and if you want smoke steaks you want seered. On steaks and chops throw your preferred wood and seer. But actually smoking meats. You want the smoke to Pentwater as far as it can go as cool as you can keep it. Personally I love mesquite or walnut on beef. Holy crap. Walnut on beef? Pork I always use mostly apple with a little hickory. Wild hogs I use a mix of hickory and a little mesquite. Fish I use either orange, apple and Cherry and usually all three. But if you let meat rest overnight then you will have to nuke it. Actually his brisket is a little overdone for me. I like pink in a brisket.

[@timothywarehime5956]

this is so timely as i have a big flat in the smoker right now.

[@randytrashcan]

You know, you're right about mustard and oil preventing the seasoning and salt from penetrating into the meat. What I like to do is apply the rub, let it sit overnight (in the fridge of course), then slap on some mustard, and *then* some more rub. You'll end up with the most incredible crust that way, PLUS, a well-seasoned brisket, butt, or whatever you may be smoking!

I got me a pellet smoker grill. Been kind of shying away from doing a brisket with it. I DID do a chuck roast my wife and I enjoyed

Army Vet, really appreciate the information as I LOVE to cook for enjoyment.

That brisket was a piece of art after you finished trimming it. I have learned that a lot of the seasoning gets cooked away. So like you say put a lot of Seasoning on it.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

For sure, needs a lot it does

Boy oh boy, you sure cook a mean brisket. Looks great. Nice smoke ring. I have to get a smoker so I can try this. Thanks for the lesson.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Oh boy. Brisket maybe kinda tricky depending on who you talk to...but I would LOVE this brisket.

[@CarlosSejas2007]

First! KENT! I NEEDED THIS LAST SATURDAY! I didn't really fail, bt I'm sure this would've helped. It was my first time smoking a brisket ( just the flat ) and I could use some tips for next time😁. Thanks for sharing!
