How to smoke a brisket

[@jshadeproductions6026]

My mans cut a brisket off that brisket.

You can also make tallow with the brisket

From a brisket to a steak in less than 5 minutes that's the new name of the video

[@ScotteM]

This was one of the best brisket shorts because it includes all the info needed temps and times and cuts etc. all in under a minute. I really appreciate it and will save this video

[@Jordan-i1k8r]

I’ve trimmed hundreds of these and there’s no reason to get it “aerodynamic“ the point is to leave a very thin layer of fat on the flat part and try not to cut off any meat

[@elijahmyers5069]

Leave the fat on, slowly smoke it, trim the cooked fat. The fat keeps it juicy, the guy who made the video is dumb.

[@sleeklunitick738]

I made a brisket last Christmas and I forgot to trim so the ends were burnt but I won't forget thanks for the tips cheers

[@thekettleloft]

Right on! Sounds like its time for another brisket! 🙌🏻🍻

[@elijahmyers5069]

Smoke it at 185 for 16 hours, wrap it after 12. This guy is an idiot. The fat cooks the meat and keep it juicy. Cut it out after unless you like it dry

Thanks, fam! 🙌🏻🍻

[@Craig-ib7gk]

The only difference to my brisket is I finish in the gas oven once I hit the stall for about an hour and wrap it. No sense in wasting money on wood/pellets when the smoke can no longer reach the brisket. It also makes it super easy to rest; just shut the oven off, leave the door closed, and let it trickle down to 150 or so for the slice.

[@balbarith45]

Looks amazingly tasty.

[@thekettleloft]

Appreciate you, boss

Aerodynamic, are you going to fly it or eat it?

Start probing for tenderness at 190. I actually took a brisket off at 190 because it probed easily and let it rest for 2 hours and it was the best brisket I ever smoked. If I left it on until 203 it would of dried out. Each brisket is different.

[@kevinb707]

If it’s prime it won’t dry out.

Would love to see more smoke ring but other than that . Perfect , good job on coming back with the seasoning . It’s a big piece of meat it can take a lot of seasoning .

[@HARDDEEPSIGNnIjjar]

Do you need to add oil with the mustard?

[@garyhyndman1105]

I'm not bitching but I am curious as to what percentage of the original cut was trimmed and discarded? I've never seen that cut here in the UK.

[@thekettleloft]

The only trim that gets discarded is the gray colored meat. The rest of the meat and fat get used for ground brisket burgers and tallow. I will make a video on how I use the trimmings 🙌🏻🍻

[@SmokeDawg_357]

Back on the grill until 200 and what degrees?

[@markkromer1238]

I remember the first time I ever had brisket. It changed my life. It was blizzard just outside of Boston and I found a spot to park outside of a nice grocery store that also sold prepared foods. I gave some brisket to my dog and she went bananas over it.

[@doriongoals9358]

Do you suppose to let the mustard for a few hours or yu don’t have to

[@thekettleloft]

You don’t have to let the mustard sit and I wouldn’t recommend it. Its not for flavor but just for the seasoning to have something to stick to.

The Butchers cut is the best hands down..the point cut-ask for that

[@allignorance4004]

Why mustard? Is that an important ingredient or you can put on there by choice?

[@The-fat-sleeper-72]

It’s used to bind the seasoning on the brisket so it doesn’t fall off the mustard doesn’t change the flavor you can use olive oil to if you don’t want mustard on it

I agree with the ease after the heavy trim but I can't cut that much good meat off thinner pieces. Seems sacrilegious to me. I've smoked thousands and would rather do a good 1/4 inch trim and eat those burnt ends and slice the rest. Great video though. Cheers from Tx

You'll get a better smoke ring if you skip the binder and go straight on with seasoning

I don’t care about a smoke ring. It looks cool but doesn’t actually add any flavor to the meat. I usually go no binder but like mixing it up from time to time to see if I notice a difference. I never do 🤣

Never heard of the binder being the issue, usually because the bark wasn’t developed due to high moisture, but still looks bomb

Yeah you have to trim the fat off and the bottom to about a quarter inch or you’ll definitely burn the brisket before it’s done cooking right. That’s why you buy about 2 lbs over what your trying to actually eat. Come on newbie 😂

@@thekettleloft Well maybe. Most residential ovens will get down to 170° and that's perfect for holding an overnight brisket.. Most backyard cooks are also working off of a pellet smoker which most can get down even lower than that ( 150°-160°). Just have to stay above 140° to stay safe. Longer the better.
