How To Smoke A Brisket On A Weber Kettle - 60 Year Old Weber Kettle

Thank you for watching my how to smoke a brisket on a Weber Kettle video. On this video, I smoked a Texas style brisket on my 1962 Weber Kettle. This brisket came out absolutely amazing and the recipe is very easy to follow. I rested this weber smoked brisket for several hours before I sliced it and the results were crazy good.

At 74 years old, I'm touched by the idea of anything sitting on the edge of a junk pile headed for the scrap heap getting rescued by a thoughtful Samaritan with reconstructive kindness in mind. What an episode! Sir, you've got something special inside you that should be shared with the world -- and it isn't just cooking meat. Keep up the good work of infusing food preparation with the milk of human kindness that you have in abundance. God bless you and your family.

[@Nirrrina]

Considering how old it is & the good condition it's in. It's obviously been cared for. It would probably be worth pulling it just to restore & try to sell. Or if it wasnt as good a condition for grilling on. You could probably find a way to restore it to looking pretty new & then add a liner to make it into an ice chest for holding beer at parties. People will pay a lot of money for a unique, decorative, retro ice chest & one made from an antique Weber grill that a lot of people would have grown up watching dad use would be very popular I bet. Still I'd prefer it useable for grilling if at all possible. But now I also want to try finding some worse ones to redo into an ice chest. Hopefully someone see this idea & does that. Because it's a real shame for it to last this long only to be tossed.

The thing I like about a kettle as a smoker is that it is a high convection vessel, so it mimics an offset giving you as close to the flavor profile to an offset as possible.

I've done it a few times, it's not hard, but it does require a lot more watching and fiddling with it to keep the temps consistent than a specialized smoker.

Looks great Joe, perfect for those of us in temporary housing situations where we only have a Webber. Btw Mortons Kosher salt has anti caking agents in it Diamond doesn't, doesn't effect seasoning meats etc, but not good for pickling etc. I made the switch years ago.

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

Interesting, I'll have to try the Diamond Crystal salt. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

Thanks for mentioning this. I like to pickle and just made a new batch of cucumbers last week and I've always used Morton. I keep a canister of non iodized just for pickling only but didn't know about the anti caking. This is the type of stuff I love learning about and I appreciate the heads up.

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

Thanks Ron! I literally only added 2 handfuls of charcoal and the temps held like a champ. 👍🏼

[@clashwithkeen]

Love your videos. Just one suggestion you might like to try. If you've never ground your own fresh black pepper before you will be very surprised at how much flavor is lost in the pre-ground stuff. It's the same way with coffee if you want to look at it that way. It wasn't until my 30's that I realized how much of a difference it makes which reinforced to me that we never stop learning no matter how much we think we already know. I like to toast half of my peppercorns as well which adds even more depth of flavor. Also I just recently learned that the major flavor component in pepper gets denatured by sunlight and that's something I've changed as well. I've always had pepper sitting out in glass shakers in direct light coming in through my kitchen window. Not meant as any sort of critique, just thought I'd mention something that I have been super surprised about in recent years that I just never considered before. The more you know. cheers!

[@michaelburn2227]

With the more flavoursome pepper, do you tend to use less of it? Thanks in advance and good tip!

[@Nirrrina]

I knew freshly ground tastes better but didn't know about sunlight will destroy the taste. I think I'd buy fresh peppercorns for something like this. Then I'd grind them in an electric grinder fresh. I'll definitely be storing any good peppercorns I buy in the dark.

Hey Joe, well done!!! Been a fan for a while and smoked a few briskets with my weber kettle. Do you mind sharing a bit more about the difference when you are using the weber kettle vs your offset smokers? I found that the temperature is easier to get fluctuated and more difficult to control; also what would you recommend if I don't have a container/ smoker to rest the brisket overnight? lovely video Joe, big fan of you!!! (Y)

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

Thanks Jack, both the Kettle and the large offset take about the same amount of time. I've cooked delicious briskets in my offset in 8 hours before too. The flavor is where the difference is going to be. The offset definitely has a more smoky flavor. You can also use your oven to hold the brisket if the temp is low enough 160--170max.👍🏼

[@jaysencorbett1855]

Use hickory logs instead of charcoal. Keep your temp close to 250degrees. It will give you a great smoke flavor. Small pile of wood coal on one side brisket on the other. Do your best to control temp and pull it an rest it in an ice chest 4 hours should be good to go.

[@BruceWayne-rb1mb]

@@SmokinJoesPitBBQ Are you meaning to keep the oven temp at 160 degrees, or keep the internal brisket temp at 160 (the original temp that you waited on the brisket to reach before starting the rest) for 12 hours?

Great video Joe! Always like watching great videos of people using the Weber kettles for smoking instead of a pellet/offset smokers. It makes me feel like I’m not left out by not having a pellet/offset smoker! Do have one question, why did you let it rest for another 12 hours at 150F? I have heard 2-5 hrs rest time….

[@haroldmorris6208]

I had the same questions about the rest time @ 150 degrees

[@jerryk9266]

The additional hours of resting at around 150F allows for greater tenderization and further fat rendering without drying it out. But not everyone has an appliance that can maintain that low of a temp, while still remaining out of the danger zone (above 140F). BBQ joints have commercial warming ovens (Alto shams) that can hold many briskets from when they're pulled from the pit late at night, until service (lunch) the next day. Joe has an insulated, electric sausage smoker that can hold those low, steady temps. Most people have a cooler and those can be used to rest for the typical 2-6 hours before the temp drops into the danger zone.

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

Jerry is 100% correct. 👍🏼

[@timramer8733]

So could I use a gas BBQ to hold temp to keep the brisket warm using indirect heat?

[@jerryk9266]

@@timramer8733 Absolutely. I'd use a digital thermometer at grate level to be sure the temp is where you need it, rather than relying on the hood thermometer.
