Les, I have been smoking ox-tail on the pit since 92. When you could buy a case for 25.00. I smoke the ox-tails until that candy red color and then wrap them in foil for about an hour. Tender ox-tails.

[@user-rt5ow8ld5t]

Definitely can be done. Just a longer cook at lower temps.

[@moblack5883]

That’s how I’ve done mine. I wrap mine and add some apple juice and butter and let ‘em go.

[@BrandonScott12241987]

[@demarcuswake-upwilliams2028]

Black Diamond ox-tails at Destinations in southern Cali only smoke em! No braised needed. And they look way more tender than these. Black Diamonds look like ox tail brisket

[@joshdiehl8737]

​@moblack5883 in the method you use you're essentially braising them in foil in the smoker. I also prefer this method.

Thank you very interesting, I never know you had to braze them first.

[@gemineyethenine7480]

YES!! You absolutely have to braise those oxtails to get ‘em nice and tender like that! Beautiful Job that you do day in and day out! Hard work and dedication 💪🏾 Edit: The oxtail has a lot of cartilage and connective tissue, so it needs to be cooked low and slow for a long time using “moist heat”. One such method is braising, which melts away all those sinewy bits and turns them into gelatin, yielding flavorful meat and a very rich and delicious sauce.

[@minnielchandler1071]

I respect your comment very much just as l respect any hard working black man, Mr. Les is doing a wonderful job, not just in what he's doing with his food but he's setting a very good example for black young men and boys as to what it takes to succeed in life, "hard work and dedication."💃

You can get them tender on the grill, it just takes a long time. I just run them in the oven after taking it off the grill to tenderize them quicker

[@livelife1250]

So you braise them in the oven

[@lamarlo4437]

@livelife1250 Yes, just for 30 minutes because I wanted the sauce to absorb the oxtails

[@Blake-ld7mx]

Yea but see you still had to do something else after taking them off the grill 😂

[@bigred200222]

you do not have to submerge them in all of that broth. Put them in a pan with a little broth and cover it with foil. The steam from the little liquid will help them tender. If you like boiling the seasoning off the meat then go for it.

[@bighorse215]

That's not true meat absorbs like a sponge, the way he's doing is the traditional Jamaican way and their oxtails don't lack seasoning.

[@bigred200222]

@@bighorse215 So what you are saying is that he making Jamaican oxtail and not bbq oxtail? I own a restaurant and we make oxtail. We do not have to fully submerge them in broth to get them tender. We do exactly like I said and it is delicious.

[@bighorse215]

@bigred200222 no he smokes them to a eatable temp and finishes them by braising. I think what he's talking about not breaking down is the fat, the method your talking about he does that way also. When your making 1,000s it's just faster to do it that way. Like it's another guy on KZbin that only smokes them but I bet it's taking 2x the time to make them, there are many methods.

[@isaaccp1159]

​@@bighorse215He says he is braising but its boiling them tender . if you braise you dont want it to boil you want it like 180-190°f. I'm sure they still taste good but the bark on the out side of the oxtail is gone when you boil it ,braising would help retain it . Same thing happens for brisket when they wrap it up
