Great video but heads up on slicing your brisket. You can slice the flat/lean (thinner end) as you did, but for the point/fatty (thicker end) you want to turn it 90° and then slice so you cut against the grain as it runs perpendicular to the flat's grain direction.

I cooked a rack of seasoned ribs last week... but I did it sous vide for 18 hours at 155f. Took them out of the bag (saving the juice!!) sliced them into singles, covered them in bbq sauce, put them on a foil covered tray under the broiler til the sauce caramelized and bubbling. Oh my God they were so good. Tender fall-off-the-bone meat and crispy edges from the flame cooked sauce. Try sous vide cooking, it is great for tough cuts of meat. I've done brisket, pork shoulder, chicken quarters. It's all comes out so juicy and tender. Even turkey stays moist.

What I feel u missed Juice:Most of what moisture you notice in bbq is rendered fat and gelatin. Tenderness:Using a thermostat to feel out the tenderness is more important for brisket pulled pork and ribs. Smoke: pellet grills have about 1/4 the moisture so they have WAY less flavor which I’m sure he didn’t point out on purpose. Sauces: people don’t dry brine for long because of bark

I learned though hardship that the meat can't just get up to temp, but needs a certain length of time at that temp to get tender. 3-2-1 is a great guide, though I'd probably shorten it for small racks like some Baby Backs. Also, had a smoked spare rib from a food truck w/ Carolina sauce on the side. So good! Definitely going to try that next time I smoke ribs.

Excellent video - this guy has a knack for just getting right to the point and highlighting the important stuff in a clear and concise way without trying to be exhaustive on every subject. The only thing I do differently from this video is chicken (or turkey) on the smoker. Just pick up a pair of poultry shears and spatchcock that shit. Takes like 3 minutes and it's easier to handle as one big piece, IMO. Monitor the temperature at the thickest part of the breast and the thigh. Set the temp a bit higher than the usual low-and-slow temps (~320-350) to crisp up the skin nicely. Amazing results in just a few hours every single time.

Great video Ethan! Being smoking enthusiast I was worried I might start rolling my eyes if you were to reach a bit too far with limited experience on the grill but you did a great job sticking to the fundamentals and science rather than getting into telling people the “best way to cook brisket”. BBQ takes a lot of experience and practice to get right, and you can never stop improving technique (and proper scheduling is a severely underrated aspect too so you don’t end up with a party full of hangry friends), that said practicing BBQ is fun! If anyone’s reading this comment looking for more background, he references meathead a lot who is a really great resource, check out his book, it’s great.

Speaking as a Texan, here's a major tip for brisket: keep it simple. In fact, Aaron Franklin, owner of Franklin Barbecue (often considered the best barbecue joint in the country), literally only puts salt and pepper on his briskets. The meat should be the star of the show, so the most important things are getting a quality cut of beef and some good smoke production.
