We made the JUICIEST BRISKET EVER - On the Big Green Egg

Now, we all know about Aaron Franklin's method of smoking Texas Style Salt & Pepper brisket using the Texas crutch. It is well known to create the juiciest briskets, EVER!!! His method has become the baseline for how every brisket gets smoked these days. Well, we decided to do our own twist on it and I have to say, it worked out great! It still gets wrapped but in a bit of a different way. Gone are the days of ripped foil or paper and losing those delicious juices. With our new and improved method, you can go fat cap up or fat cap down in a Big Green Egg and it won't matter. It will still produce the most tender, juicy brisket you could ask for!

[@SmokingDadBBQ]

That pan trick was on the money. Great to see Ninja

[@CoolJay77]

James, this could be an great video experiment for you on a KJ at the temperatures that you use, hot and fast. Specially if you were to experiment with a choice brisket, with short or no rest. Basically, borrowing the idea of Texacana's hot and fast brisket, but adding this pan technique. I had tried the hot and fast method on choice brisket, it turned out phenomenal. Coupling this technique to it probably will make it even better. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH6roZ1nhc6df9E

[@CoolJay77]

Also, it might be that the extra steam that will be generated by cooking at higher temperature will help setting up the bark faster. There is a KZbin video mentioning how the steam generated by Myron Mixon H2O smokers expedite the formation of the bark. Cooking a small choice brisket for just six hours, could use some liquid steam.

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Thanks James, I had high hopes and it eggceeded my eggspectations!

[@FOGOcharcoal]

I think that you definitely may be on to something there!

That looks wonderful. I love the videos and I would like to see what can be done with all those trimmings. I love my BGE and I love FOGO charcoal as well. The super premium acts like its been programmed to burn at 250. I've used it before for a low and slow and then opened her up to get the temp up and its like it refused. I probably just needed to add more😆

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Yes, I do believe that it was exactly what the problem was. More charcoal= hotter fire.

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Most times in a kamado cooker, you'll want to do fat cap down. We made a video showing how to do it fat cap up too though.

Nice new approach to a moister brisket. What temperature did you set the egg smoker and did you spritz it at all along the way?

[@FOGOcharcoal]

I did the entire cook at 250° and did not spritz it at all. I figured that the moisture and steam from the pan would create enough on its own.

[@omidfard4079]

Thank you for your video. Using your pan, would you be able to place the brisket fat side up?

Captain Ron, my large BGE doesn't accommodate the latest brisket I bought. Can I cut the brisket in half? Cook half now and freeze the rest for later? GREAT VIDEO BTW!

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Hey Peter! I’d put a piece of wood or a rib rack underneath it, lay the brizzie over it and that should make it fit.

[@skydash]

Fantastic!! I love the pan! I need one for my XL BGE. Where can I get one like it?

[@imout671]

When you bbq it with a drip pan you dont need to wrap it with the pan. It will already be so moist you can wrap it by itself. After resting you unwrap it and there will be at least 1 cup of liquid in the foil. Every time.

[@FOGOcharcoal]

OK, it worked really well this way. Just another way to do it.

[@chipper1973]

Captain Ron, thank you for doing this video. I smoked my first brisket on my large BGE and the flat was a little dry. It cooked for about 9 hours at around 250. I waited until after the stall before I wrapped it. Was that a mistake? Should I have wrapped it at the beginning of the stall?

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Yes sir, I always let it hit the stall and then wait a bit to wrap it. I just want that bark to build but yes, wrap it at or during the stall

[@tfh-rw9vb]

Amazing technique. What temp did you use? And would this still work if I just wanted to smoke a brisket flat?

[@FOGOcharcoal]

Yes, I don't see why it wouldn't!

[@ronk2205]

I decided to give your Pork Butt Romertöpf method to brisket yesterday and it turned out to be outstanding. Only problem being that one has to purchase a smaller, in my case, a 12 lb brisket. What are your thoughts in cooking at 225° rather than my normal 250°? You continue to inspire me, my man!

[@FOGOcharcoal]

There is nothing wrong with cooking at the lower temp, it just takes a bit longer. Some will swear that it even gives better results. Wait, do you mean that you smoked the brisket over the Romertopf and then dropped it in and covered it?

[@ronk2205]

Trying to find the BGE charcoal basket you have and can’t find it. Can you advise where to find one?

[@FOGOcharcoal]

You can find it at your local BGE dealer but we sell the Kick Ash Basket because we have found that it has far less issues than the BGE model. (warping, handles come off)

[@CoolJay77]

Great video. Did it taste a bit like steamed? This calls for A/B comparison, one wrapped in butcher paper, vs your new method then compare the results for both moistness and flavor. Also, this could the the ulltimate solution for cooking a select grade brisket. Worth experimenting. Nothing wrong with steaming, as Montreal steak gets placed in a steamer after the smoking phase. This seems to me, it is a small degree in that direction. Next time I smoke a brisket, I will grab a second one at select grade and try this. I like daring and new ideas such as this. Thank you.

[@FOGOcharcoal]

That is a great question Jay and I wish I would have addressed it in the video. The short answer is no, it did not taste steamed at all. I was afraid of losing some of the quality of the bark but that didn't happen either. I was truly amazed with the results. You may definitely be on to something with a select or even choice brisket.

[@CoolJay77]

@@FOGOcharcoal OFC, I have meant Montrael Smoked Meat, rather than steak. I guess, your method might be even more beneficial when smoking hot and fast. Doesn't the BGE produce cleaner smoke and better air flow runiing between 275F to 300 F?

[@FOGOcharcoal]

@@CoolJay77 I don't think so. Once you get the temp set and it is burning steady, it is a nice, clean burn in my experience.
