There's a lot of crap in beef bouillon, so that would be automatically a factor in whether someone wants to use it or not. I'd rather good use a good professional rub....such as Meat Church stuff....any day of the week....or mix my own. The crap Americans put in their food....is a big factor in why they are so damn fat, on the whole, as a country.

Hey bud, I'm from Texas too. I'm a Back Yard Cook. I have never competed in the BBQ world and I don't think I would ever like too and besides I'm 70 years old now and trying to please someone else, well that's not for me. But I have been using beef bullion all my life. Learned from my father. What I use now just for connivence is a base layer of bullion, follow with the Fiesta Brisket Rub and finished off with Fiesta Orange Pepper. Similar to Lemon Pepper but made with orange. We, my family and I think this is the way to go. I can't blame my kids for liking it, this is what they grew up with. On those occasions that I need to kick up the flavor a bit, like if I'm having people over, Then I'll use the bullion as in injection as well to boost the flavor. I really enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work.

Lawrey's is the best season salt on the market. I was turned on to it in 1980 eating a steak at Lawrey's Restaurant in LA. My dad never really seasoned his steaks or chickens we ate, just relied on the wood charcoal. It was the best steak I had ever had, that is when I learned about seasoning and when I returned to Houston started cooking differently. 45 years later its still my main ingredient in all of my rubs. I have also used bullion cubes in a lot of recipes...You can brine with it as well.

I knew an old farmer way back in the day, and he barbecued pork butts in an indirect smoker using nothing but pecan hulls. He would start the fire with a bit of hickory kindling, but when the meat went into the smoker, the fire was all pecan hulls. I was standing out there shooting the breeze with him one day, and a pickup truck pulled into the end of his driveway. The guy in the back of the truck hollered "Hey, Jim!" and threw two BIG bags of pecan hulls out into Jim's yard. He grinned and waved and we put the bags of pecan hulls into his barn. The man's barbecue was exquisite and unique. He could have made a fortune with it if he was so inclined. He was busy raising horses, though. I saw a colt born one afternoon when I was there. I watched him stand up on his little shaky legs and start walking around. That was nothing short of amazing.

I use beef boulion in my spritzer bottle to mist my brisket after 6-8 hours of cook, before wrapping. Then I use a few squirts in my foil wrap. It works pretty good and adds a little liquid to assist with the rendering.

[@rogelioestanislaojr3261]

So the key to the flavor of the bouillon is msg. Add a little msg to your rub and you get the same umami effect, lol. Personally, i use the dasida brand powders. Knorr powders seem like dried soup base which includes pepper onion powder parsley. The dasida chicken powder seems like straight freeze dried broth. If you add water to knorr powders its slightly gritty and you can see the added seasonings. The dasida powder becomes a clear broth. So basically, i add a little of dasida chicken powder to everything especially my fried rice.

Actually, that is the real secret. It’s what I use on most of my rubs and marinades. Skip the premade bouillon. They are made with maltodextrin. I avoid all processed sugars.

I almost always do salt and pepper only, being from Colorado I call it "Texas Style" seasoned.

[@randomstuff9748]

Back in my competition days I used rubs with MSG which is what a big part of bullion is. I've done it more recently and didn't taste much difference from my standard rub. But my own rub recipe uses powdered Worcestershire so it has lots of umami as well.

I've used several of Mad's cooking tips. My brisket turns out delicious. I don't smother the cut I smoke, roast, or grill with rubs, salt, or pepper. I season lightly. A little salt. A little pepper. Maybe a light rub with blackstrap molasses on pork before seasoning with salt and pepper. My favorite summers were those spent west of the escarpment in the Jackson Purchase enjoying barbecue, brisket, or catfish washed down with a cold Dr. Pepper.

Try Knorr Beef concentrate. It's water-based and has onion, garlic, and other seasonings in it. I use it first, then add some beef rub on top (salt, pepper, crushed celery seed.) I concur with your choice of pecan fuel. I use a pellet smoker (Traeger Texas) and find that the hickory smoke irritates my gut, too acidic. Pecan works for beef and foul equally well. Almond is similar to pecan, and the Knotty Wood wine-infused almond pellets that you like is also a winner, but pricey.

I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for all your hard work putting your content out. For those of us who react negatively to Monosodium glutamate (MSG), be aware that it's listed as the third ingredient in Knoor's Beef Broth Powder. I looked it up on their website, and it's factual. MSG makes all food taste better, as its intent is to enhance flavor. However, it has known short-term side effects that, for some, can be serious. For me, I generally just feel irritable and uncomfortable in my skin. Almost itchy. It's commonly snuck into restaurants and packaged foods, so mediocre becomes better. It makes you feel hungry shortly after eating a big meal. That's a good reason to go back for seconds on that juicy brisket. Haha! Apologies if I sound like a squasher but it is worth knowing before serving your brisket to a group if you don't know everyone's tolerance.

The bullion has isononanoic acid as well which is another amino acid much like MSG but can boost the perceived umami by up to 8 times when used in the right ratio to salt and MSG, so using straight MSG isn't going to give you the same flavor outcome.

Been smoking brisket for years fully rendered soft and juicy just like the pros, it’s not rocket science…BUT… I’ve gone astray, more smoke isn’t always the answer.

There are so many variations of great beef, Chicago Italian Beef, Chaps in Baltimore, I grew up in Philadelphia where we had ale houses with a roast the bartender would slice into and serve on Kaiser buns with, provolone and horseradish. None of these were smoked but all of these are awesome so I was missing the beef flavor through the smoke so I started cooking my briskets on my Weber using the snake method with no added hardwood same type of slow and low cook till rendered but the beef flavor shines through the minimal smoke. Nothing new here we’ve been roasting meat since we were living in caves.

Could also sprinkle powdered Koji along with SBP but don’t cook immediately as exposure to heat will denature the enzymes and create less umami flavor.

When using bouillon, dial back on the salt as it has tons of it.

It was so awesome meeting you the other day. Excited to see the results of this one!

[@martinbaron2921]

Super helpful! I'll give it a try, dialed back for sure though. Thanks!

[@mojoi_iv_v7_i975]

I've seen competition chili recipe's that do this. Makes sense this would be a good thing for BBQ rubs as well. Haven't tried it myself but I may give it a shot the next time I mix up a batch of my standard rub.

Did you use salt along with the Boullion powder? Thank you

[@jagreddog]

Sorry if i missed it,but where they WAGU briskets or prime ect.That does make a difference,along with his flawless techq.

I use herb-ox bullion. It's a very fine texture, so it spreads thin. Also I use hickory because it is what it readily available.

Harry Soo did a similar comparison on you tube several years ago. Worth looking at

[@waynerowe8477]

Wondered if this was comparable. I use charcoal and wood chunks on a wsm, sometimes pellet, family loves the injection/rub combo, may use this replacing some of the rub since it has the glutamate trifecta.

[@mikecoughlin4128]

Compared to the Better Than Bullion paste I use I would expect powder to be a little harder to get an even application with. Although it should be similar to applying a rub I suppose.

Have you ever used beef base? I have done it on brisket style cooked chuck. Full packer is just too big a piece for me.

[@brianseto3823]

I've been using mushroom powder in my brisket rub along with seasoned salt, salt, and pepper.
