How to Trim a Brisket! | Chuds BBQ

[@andrewalba336]

Dude, I'm SURE you're tired of doing these videos. "UGH, I GOTTA DO ANOTHER BRISKET VIDEO?!" But man, sometimes it's just good to get a refresher course on the thing we think we know how to do. Your community loves it, and even "re-learning" from someone like you is super appreciated.

[@kacehollingsworth6362]

Agreed! I'm smoking another brisket tomorrow & I came back for a refresher!

Agreed Champ

[@billgermani5769]

I’m literally getting ready to make my first brisket ever. I knew exactly who to turn to for the best no-nonsense advice. I made Bradleys Alabama white chicken the other day and it was amaze so the brisket is up next.

[@samacc2536]

The best brisket trim video on the internet. This video is the one that made me binge a bunch of your other videos.

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

Looks like that beef was processed at the blind butcher academy. Good stuff Brad. 👍🏼

[@brisketwizard8004]

Agree! I've seen the video of Brad doing a better brisket trim while blindfolded!!

[@edgar3105]

Lol

[@TXDeathInvestigator]

Ah, yes folks from The Blinded Butchers trimming brisket! I understand their shop is down the street from The Bearded Butchers.

[@clnorris82]

This is the best brisket trim video out there. Awesome job! IMO the two most important things for brisket is the trim and the rest. Get those two things right and you are 80% there.

[@ColdSmokeSamurai]

Franklin may have made Texas bbq cool to alot of people, but your the one that makes aus feel like we can do awesome bbq too. Your videos are the best out there.

[@pyrosled2290]

I have watched a lot of brisket trimming videos over the years and this one I think is one of the most specific and concise without being too long. Easily digestible for any experience level. Nice work Chud's!!!

[@papah7398]

"Bold and smokey"...you're killing it! Great vid BR, looking forward to the series...later my man.

[@nagrasto]

Definitely the best trimming video I’ve seen anyone do. Really looking forward to a detailed resting video. All the steps without much cut out.

[@ChudsBbq]

Coming Up!

[@nagrasto]

@@ChudsBbq I can LITERALLY hear chud saying “cyaammin-up “🗣✋ you’re the man, Brad!

[@derricktyler3577]

Because of this man’s videos I already have a second extra long toaster over just for resting briskets and a whole Sous Vide set-up on the way (device, vacuumed sealer & tub) 😂

[@ericguymon5418]

Same I have upped my bbq game so much since starting to watch.

[@jasonbeerman200]

@@derricktyler3577 I’ve been waiting to see what he uses for a toaster oven, what did you end up going with?

[@gaps2420]

Nothing like a video about a good Trim.

[@kurtchapman]

I did my first brisket cook this past weekend. Thank you for inspiring me to finally go for it. Because of your videos, I felt confident about trimming and cooking it (foil boat method!). It turned out amazing! My family was blown away by how good it was. Thanks again!

[@billgermani5769]

I’m doing my first one tomorrow and I knew he’d show me the way. Glad yours turned out so good!

[@thepolingclan]

You're a good teacher. Enjoy learning from an expert

[@shr00m7]

Explaining about the meat pulling/curling and causing the pooling and ruining the bark is the best explanation I've heard for why you trim a brisket the way you do. So often we hear *what to do, but not why*- Thanks Brad!

[@AntsBBQCookout]

gnarly gash on the flat coming out of the pack, but you killed the trim! professionally done! man, I keep saying this but I really need a meat grinder. Hoping my family will hear my cries and get me one for father's day 😂

[@AntsBBQCookout]

@@benfeldman9300 so kind, Ben! Always appreciate you, brother 🥲

[@MisterBroseph]

Another pro tip: throw the ground up fat that you’re gonna render for tallow in the smoker with your brisket cook! You’ll end up having smoked beef fat which is great if you want to incorporate a little smoke flavor into anything you want without having to pull out the smoker again. I use it to make burger buns or sub rolls and it gives them an amazing taste!

[@noahoakley5894]

Ever since I started doing your trimming process on briskets my end result is a 1000x better!

[@yasmin9931]

Thanks @chudsbbq, thanks to your teachings my husband became a brisket pit master overnight! His first brisket was trimmed according to this video. Turned out just super and very little fat to trim! All our guests loved it.

[@jeffluke9225]

Best trim game in the business - appreciate the nuance and reasoning behind your methods.

[@erico3378]

I've learned more about trimming and cooking brisket from this channel than any other. Thanks brother, keep'em coming.

[@jlaw3255]

That explains why I've always got that pooling on the lean. I've watched a lot brisket trimming videos. Including your own. But this is the best one I've watched for WHY you trim it like that. Much appreciated!!!!

[@duanehenicke6602]

Flip, turn, rotate your brisket. Will be no pooling and it will cook faster and more even.

[@user-uc8xb8lm5h]

I highly doubt he's tired of making videos he likes making videos to share his wealth of cooking knowledge

[@andrewpope204]

I used to throw away all my brisket trimmings... from watching your channel and smokin joes channel i've made sausage, my own burger grind and tallow. Feels good not to waste so much anymore.

[@twhdvm]

This is the brisket trim video of all brisket trim videos. Brisket, brisket burgers, and brisket tallow. Mercy.

[@SirGrogg]

I know you are about ready to vomit from making all these brisket vids but from the heart……. THANKS SO MUCH!!!!! Your torture is greatly appreciated! I haven’t found anyone else so far that has been willing to give away “secrets” so they can keep making the big bucks. I’m a new subscriber to your channel and plan to be one for a long time!!! Again thanks!

[@ernestlooker4015]

You know you did such a good job of keeping it funny and relaxed and educational at the same time you could have been a really school teacher but I'm glad you're a barbecue teacher instead

[@garymyers7696]

This was the best brisket trimming video I've seen on KZbin.

[@DavidRostker]

Always a pleasure to watch. Trim videos are all over the place, but I’ll keep watching them until I get it right!

[@donnybondeson318]

Thank you Sensei. I always watch these as a refresher before a cook…especially trim videos. Once complete this will make a great playlist 🙏🏻

[@browndogquecompetitionbbq4253]

Only a pesky boot snake doesn’t trim a brisket. Great content as always. I always learn something more from your videos and could watch you trim a brisket anytime. Thank you.

[@allieandbo]

I've said it before and I'll say it again....I've yet to find anyone on the KZbins who trims a better brisket than ole Chud. It really helped my finished product when I learned to do it like him.

[@res18baj]

I don't care how many how to trim videos you do I'll watch every one of them. Great stuff and thanks!

[@lou_mat8256]

Brad is the man trimming videos never gets old I always learn something new

[@krisbrown9064]

This is by far the best trimming video I have ever seen. I have not had any complaints with when I do it. Thanks Chuddly Bobertson :)

[@BabyDiego10599]

Great video! He's perfect for this, his energy level is off the charts! This is probably one of the best brisket trimming videos I've seen.

[@AndresSanchez-nc9gr]

By far the best F-ing bbq channel there is.

[@tonehero85]

Chud. Is. KZbin. Bbq. King. Period. 💅

[@MrWillowbeard]

This man has changed the way I brisket. I think back to the trimmings that I used to just throw away and want to cry. Great video, as always!

[@ChudsBbq]

Thanks for watching!

[@bernardsbbq]

Brad is the master. Great ending showing the burgers and the tallow.

[@brentrathy5507]

The effort you are putting in here is mind boggling. I have some experience in videos and such and there is a lot of work behind the scenes that we don’t see. Believing that all this hard work will take Chuds BBQ right where you want it to go. Keep up the good work young man!

[@IEdjumacate]

Only halfway through & I can already say this is by far the best trimming guide I’ve ever seen and I’ve watched a lot from some very reputable people. These are great tips, awesome video! Edit: the last section with the trimmings made the video even more special. Optimizing the final product & creating cost efficiency for a cut that is getting expensive. I absolutely love it.

[@ChudsBbq]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@L3001USPSA]

This is the best trimming lesson I've seen yet. I've been doing backyard BBQ for 2 years, which means I've still got a lot to learn.

[@ayadhammoudi]

Best Brisket trimming I ever seen.. big 👍

[@hookedonbarbecue]

Great video, Bradley. I feel like trimming is something that everyone can constantly practice and improve on. Keep up the good work!

[@ChudsBbq]

Very true!

[@JevonHills_elcaminoit]

That is an awesome trim video. I particularly like that you then demonstrated what you did/could do with the trimmings. We're going to be doing our first brisket this summer and this series will be most useful to follow!!!

[@Chefbiggfluff]

Beautiful appreciate this brother… this was like a free cook masterclass! Thanks… 🔥🔥🔥

[@loicpig3024]

hello, I'm watching you from France, I love everything you do and I follow your recipes as an example. really thank you! respect to the leader

I have been SO can't waiting for this video! Naturally it would drop during my morning commute. Can't wait to get to the office so I can pretend I'm working....

[@markm5722]

Doing my first full brisket tomorrow, watch this 5 times. Thanks for the video.

[@yokabarbecue8003]

Seeing the burgers and tallow from the trim next to the brisket was oddly satisfying to me.

[@texausbbq6593]

This is so good, showing how you used the trimmings at the end was invaluable. Nice work Chudley

[@CosmicStargoat]

Great job, as usual. In my case, nothing is ever wasted. I render the fat into beef tallow and always use meat scraps for either beef bone stock or feed whatever else is left to my crows. My crows used to caw at my bedroom window every morning. I tried everything to run them off, even using sound machines and scarecrows, to no avail. I finally gave in and started feeding them. They love all the scraps from the brisket, the pork butts, everything. This stopped them from harrassing me. Win/win.

[@meanbread4865]

Lol so sadistic making cow eat cow.. gosh we humans are evil lol.

[@CosmicStargoat]

@@meanbread4865 Crows, not cows.

[@billymacmakes]

I always felt badly about trimming so much deliciousness off my brisket, but now that I have a meat grinder and truly nothing goes to waste I'm so much happier! Even if you're not set up yet to make your own burgers, keep the fat and trimmings vacuumed packed until you can and you'll thank yourself!! As always, another great video. Looking forward to the rest in the series!

[@rhino5551212]

Did the trim from your older video 2 weeks ago and it made a huge difference. No more gross fatty bites from the deckle. Thanks!

[@country3612]

Bradley You Rock!!! I have learned so much from watching all of your videos!! My pork butt and ribs are so frikn good!! Next up is the brisket, so this vid is for me!!! Thanks so much!!! I always look forward to each one!!! One of these days I hope to be able to afford one of your smokers..But my old anciant Weber just keeps on cookn!! For an old retired dude, you have me wanting to start a real Bbq joint, lol.. In my back yard!!

[@boatworkstoday]

Diving into a SRF brisket for Memorial weekend; first time trying this cut so TY ;-)

[@chrismcnutt]

Best brisket trimming video I've seen yet.

[@tl2200]

Thank you for this video. I've seen so many that go through the what to do but you explain the WHY for each step which is infinitely more helpful.

[@linzhoffman]

That was an awesome video Brad. I know you are a bit over brisket, but you truly are a good teacher. Love your work! 👍

[@thefoleys2515]

Thank you Brad! I really appreciate what you are doing for the BBq world!

[@kylecollins6835]

Love your videos Brad! I actually just bought a USDA Choice brisket specifically to grind it into burgers, and they are absolutely delicious!

[@KareezyG]

You are too kind to us common folk. Thank you

[@apexcustomsmokers]

This series will tie in nicely with the weber kettle series! 👌🔥🔥

[@BrosGrimPunk]

Never enough brisket videos!

[@elliothuntington8980]

I wish I could give another thumbs up to this video everytime I watch it. Oh, and thanks for the promo code on your machine video for the 10% off coupon at meat your maker. I just bought the #32 grinder, the 10" slicer, the chamber vacuum sealer, and the 50lbs mixer, all thanks to watching you make sausage! Haha😂. This will be the first brisket where I'll feel just fine giving my brisket a proper trim, because I'm also looking forward to some brisket and pork belly burgers!! Thank you Brad!

[@TheAmick218]

The edit at the end with the brisket trimmings was epic! Lol

[@gettinbentfabrication9073]

It never fails when you release a video I’m always getting ready to eat so I watch you when I eat and I’m eating a smoked thick cut pork steak

[@markiezee6435]

this is the video i needed on my last cooked brisket that was prime.

[@444simm]

I use these videos a few times a day every time I’m cooking a brisket. You explain everything so well! I’m about to cook a brisket today for the 4th of July!! Thank you and keep making content!

[@garbageman18]

Love that you're pushing out videos almost daily now. Keep up the great work!

[@hoangz24]

I used a Traeger and did your methods as close as possible for the first time and wow it came out sooo good. Thank you so much for your tips!

[@WookieLove1]

Awesome Job. I like the knife scrap trick!

[@christopherday210]

Like how you took a common animal's brisket and made it look legit. Not enough of this on the internet. Good video. Watched it a few time and learned plenty thanx...

[@erichyman4963]

You are so right about the end trim. I did not know that. So My end totally dried out. I am learning so much from your videos thank you

[@MrMajors]

Just a shout out for you bud. Subscribed to your channel about a month ago. Been stuck on it ever since. Good content. Humor mixed with super clear instruction. Consistent uploads. Solid work man. Keep ‘em coming!!

Gonna make my first brisket on my big green egg for the 4th, this video makes me feel a lot more prepared. Keep it up!

Probably one of your most informative and well done videos to date brother. Nice work.

much appreciated from a first timer...thank you very much!

[@Steve.903]

[@djrtime1398]

I hate wasting product and that has made me hesitant about properly trimming, but with what you’ve demonstrated with the burgers and tallow it’s convinced me to do a better trim and reap the rewards of brisket burgers. Thanks and keep em comin’

[@ragequit42]

Watched this vid a few times now. Fixing to start my first HEB prime brisket in a couple of hours. Thank you brother!

[@BillyTheChamp]

this is a great video. most trim videos show a great shaped brisket out of the gate. having an ugly starting brisket and making it look good is valuable information.

[@halbergwrestling]

Trying my first brisket this weekend.

[@wcneathery3100]

I always use those trimmings to render down into tallow in the smoker. The chunks of meat confie in the rendering fat and make for an excellent cooks treat😋 The smoky delicious tallow is excellent for eggs, refried beans, etc...

[@dus10htx]

Dude, great video. Just a regular backyarder myself. But I've done 100ish briskets and feel pretty confident in myself. But trimming is still my weakest aspect. I never feel totally confident in my trimming. But this is the best breakdown for trimming that I've seen on YT. Very well done!

[@dont-eatbad-food801]

I never do such an aggressive trim as you did here but I total get it. It's time to get cooking! your the best!!!

[@friedlw22]

Hopefully the next 4 come out before my Father’s Day brisket cook! Great start though!

[@mattro4902]

Feel like I trim my brisket fairly well but it was good to take the time to watch a true pro. Love it. Thanks!

[@jimwilpula9256]

I've been watching your brisket trim videos, of which are awesome, and then this one showed up right after I "butchered" a brisket this morning. In my defense, it's only my third brisket, but it's still disappointing. I plan on doing several more briskets this summer, so I'll be watching your brisket trim videos until my briskets start getting that professional trim look to them. I dig watching and learning from all of your videos. Keep up the great content!

[@frankyi8206]

The burgers you get from the brisket trim are just incredibly flavorful. I have no issue taking that much meat off since I know it'll still go to good use

[@BsTShmiKi]

Awesome video. Love your style of editing and flow. Super informative. Thanks Bradley!

[@moneywastedcollecting]

I've tried a couple ways and I left all the fat on one and it wasn't nearly as good as the trimmed brisket, I have pretty low brisket experience, but I don't think it takes years of experience to see trimming really helps with a better finished product and taste, and I didn't waste any trimmings, made tallow and ground up the other meat for burgers. Great vid.

[@robweezy]

Thank you! About to smoke my second brisket!

[@dennisbower]

Perfect timing - just got my first brisket to smoke for the 4th of July.
