Hot-and-fast brisket in 4 hours on the Pit Barrel cooker!

This is a video of our first attempt at cooking a hot and fast brisket on the Pit Barrel Cooker. We seasoned this brisket with Kosmo's Q Cow Cover Hot, Cooper's, and SuckleBuster's 1836 beef rub. At first, we tried to hang the brisket in the pit, but the brisket was too long and was resting in the coals. We then switched over to the standard grate. The brisket was cooked fat-side down for about an hour. At the hour mark, we flipped the brisket. Once the brisket reached and internal temperature of 160 degrees (~2 hours) we wrapped the brisket in foil. In the foil, we added Crown Royal Mesquite, Stub's original BBQ sauce, chicken broth, and more rub. After about 2 more hours, the brisket reached and internal temperature of 208 degrees. At this point, we rested it in a cooler for ~2 hours more.

I’ve done one in my pit barrell I hung it for 5 hours came out great . Looks good to me and no babysitting the pit like an offset .

What is your go-to brisket seasoning? I am a believer in this method now! Next time, I'll go ahead and split the point from the flat and hang!

[@elmerolion2424]

Fresh Hands I use the pit barrell beef and game or the kosmos SpG . Best one I’ve ever done tho in my opinion is plain ole salt and pepper coarse !

[@freshhands5054]

Hard to beat the plain old salt + pepper!

Say I didn't catch how you configured the pbc to achieve hot and fast. What did you do to get it up to 350?

I just managed the fire by taking out one of the two pieces of rebar (6:25 in the video). You can also play with the damper at the bottom a bit, but I find that you rarely need to modify the opening much. Also, leaving the lid off for about 10 minutes will help bring the temp up, but the temp will not stay that high for extended periods. Let me know if that makes sense.
