How to Slice Brisket

[@Nighthawkforever147]

There’s tons of ‘how to’ videos about cutting brisket. This one is by far the best I’ve seen. Super helpful. Thank you.

[@jvallas]

How you picked up those end cubes and managed not to put one in your mouth is massive willpower.

[@PabloEskimofo]

You’re a life saver bro! About to serve a brisket in a few short hours, was sweating on how to cut it properly. Clear and concise video, thank you so much!

[@CiroGalli]

Why do you need to cut it? Can't you just put it between two slices of bread?

Man. I have watched a couple of your videos and I will say you are a cut above 98% of bbq videos. I can see you have real experience and cut out the no frills bs. Great Job and keep up the great real deal bbq work.

[@ashleykennedy2824]

I'm about to cut my first brisket in about an hour and have watched several videos on how to do it properly. This is by far the best demonstration. Thank you!

[@skalamaz3]

This is one of the best slicing videos I've ever seen. I used to separate the point off the flat and cube it. No longer.

[@jaysantos536]

Here's a much better one from a far superior pitmaster: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fomvmH6MeMqffMU

[@Bigboybogeyz]

I just made my first one today, so happy I watched this before I started to slice! Thank you my dude! Love the videos

[@donapoindstribbling2172]

I love corned beef. My grandmother died before I learned how to make it in the oven from her and how to vut it, so I only learned to boil it and always guessed at the cutting. Thank you for teaching me how to cut it and now I will make one on the grill yours looks so good.

[@benjamin_w.]

4:07 you just threw away the best piece. I almost cried.

[@rheine7381]

I agree!

[@tonye2400]

He said he didn't want to serve it to people! If I threw away the fat in front of my family, they might stab me.

[@Willowtable]

All carnivores are digging in that garbage for that delicious piece of fat.

[@weilliam]

Ya, why would he throw that out... Geez

[@SirKevinthefirst]

I knew I'd find this at the top of the comments. I throw the rest of the brisket away. And only keep that tiny piece

[@celestelipford6675]

I made my first briskets this year on our outdoor brick grill that I turned into a makeshift smoker. This video was the best I’ve seen regarding cutting the brisket. I watched a few others and always had additional questions but this video answered them all. Thank you.

[@aloknight3656]

Super helpful! I work at a bbq joint and I've been having a lot of trouble with slicing the fatty end of the brisket. It would get all stringy and look like pulled pork if I didn't cut it thick. But now I won't have trouble thanks to your tip, thank you very much.

[@karlkrasnowsky3895]

Thanks for the tips. Still a question. The rule of thumb is the grain of the flat runs in relatively the opposite direction of the point. So you slice the flat in one direction, turn the point portion 90°, and continue slicing. However, there's no delineation where the flat ends and point begins, as the flat runs over the top of the point. So without removing the flat from the point and slicing separately, is it possible to technically following this rule?

[@pentonhusqvarna]

Got my red butcher paper, rub, sprayer, Jealous Devil charcoal and Diamond King Smoker Wood Chunks. Tomorrow is my first attempt at brisket smoking. Slicing instructions very helpful. Thanks!

[@kstutz81]

Thanks man. Just smoked my first brisket. Bought bc it was on sale and only the thicker half. The half you turned to cut. I was planning to carve this puppy up the wrong way until I saw this. Appreciate the tip

[@Rubiowner05]

Great video, thanks. One question: how do you store the cut brisket for a party so as not to dry out the slices?

[@jackgranadoz5440]

Great video on slicing a Brisket! I'm waiting about 30 minutes before I slice into a Brisket that just finished cooking.

[@bcroft68bc]

I’ll be smoking my first Brisket on Christmas Eve. I’ve always heard that you’re supposed to cut cross grain, but I never knew that the grain changes in the Brisket. Thanks for the informative video.

[@Chris-29]

How did you're first brisket turn out?

[@bcroft68bc]

@@Chris-29 it turned out ok but just a little drier than I hoped for. I’ve since learned to control the temperature in my Pit Boss better.

[@Miah1313]

What do you use as a rub before you smoke it? Thanks. Great video.

[@philippedebasquette5341]

Just made my best brisket ever and sliced it correctly thanks to you. It was a cap i cut separately but the waste fat location and slicing direction was spot on

[@TheJourneySoFar1966]

Thanks! I've been cutting brisket all wrong for years! Got a brisket on my pellet grill right now. Will slice it this way when its ready.

[@jaysantos536]

But you are STILL cooking it wrong! Offset smoker with oak or pecan REAL wood is the only way to go. Pellet grills are for women.

[@kelz3486]

@@jaysantos536 whatever. If you cannot cook it other ways then you have zero skill man.

[@karengonzalez3870]

I thought finally I need to learn how to slice a brisket (while my husband was preparing one all day) and found your video. I feel so lucky to have found it and the first and only one I looked at. Thank you! But a question, If you are going to heat up a few pieces for a meal, is there a good way? That still evades me. 😏 oh ... I even used a bread knife like you mentioned.

[@waymondwade2511]

Your videos are awesome! I am definitely using this technique in the morning. Merry Christmas and blessings going forward into the New Year!

[@georgedaher1189]

I have always been terrible at slicing brisket, it always comes apart on me. Today i used your technique in this video and damn i got so many compliments on my sliced brisket. Thank you Jeremy for posting this.

[@paulcarne2545]

I've seen so many confusing descriptions but this was super clear, thank you.

[@robertsummerhayes1220]

Dude I love how everyone is drinking and playing corn hole while you are all serious at the smoker slicing up a brisket. Story of my life brother, dont regret a minute.

[@trumprocks5795]

Thanks for making the video brother! I know it sure helped me I have only been smoking brisket since last year, with no instruction!

[@jeremygrover3324]

I did one a few weeks ago and watched a ton of videos I really wish I would watch this one this is the best informational video on how to slice brisket I've seen yet

[@KomLit]

Ty already in my 9th hour of a 14lb beast. I am still a noob but man when we took it out to wrap it. It looked so good. Now i know how to cut it right thanks to you. You earned a sub from a fellow youtuber

[@geraldschreiner1099]

How did your brisket turn out?

[@anthonycecena]

Looks like your near the beach somewhere, here in KC we separate the flat and point at the end and make a full point of burnt ends instead of just one little strip. Looked really good though.

[@BruceRoman]

Excellent video. Detailed and precise. Well done...and thanks!

[@beckie6819]

Your brisket looks so yummy! My husband smokes a really good brisket too. I also use a bread knife to slice brisket and cut both of the ends and trim that fatty piece like you do. I never thought to turn the point portion to slice it. I always separate the layers and slice. Next time we smoke a brisket I will definitely try out your point slicing method. Thank you!

[@samzonator]

Literally one of the best cutting videos ever!

[@Redleg13fa]

Love your videos brother, you’ve helped my smoking journey get better. Keep up with the good great videos.

[@tjinla9850]

Many or most "brisket" slicing knives have straight cut edges. I have the Dalstrong Gladiator 12" and it's nice for "smooth" meats like hams, turkey, commercial cooked meats but I find the straight edge, even though razor sharp, crumbles the bark on brisket and pork. I have since gotten a couple of 12" serrated knives and they work better. The 12" serrated Victorinox was too flexible for my liking although it cut brisket fine. The cheap Mercer 12" serrated knife from the local restaurant supply store seamed more ideal to me. Works great for cutting ribs too. I love working with the right tools for the job.

[@PaddyWelsh]

Excellent video. Extremely helpful for beginners like myself. Thanks bud 👍🏻

[@ChipsPlace1952]

If Ii were to use a brisket for chili, 1) would you recommend to cook it first then cut it up 2) would you use either the flat, point or both for the chili and 3) what size cube would you use? Half inch ot inch size cubes? Thanks

[@caltch]

so did you just let it go overnight without spraying? I'm new to brisket just done my first last weekend and it turned out pretty good. I've seen videos' where they just cook them over night without spraying and some that do it every 30 - 45 minutes after two hours.

[@kensproles5816]

What do you wear under your black latex gloves so you can handle the hot brisket?

[@briansilverman6368]

After you cut away that side layer of fat on the point, do you start slicing from that side, or do you turn the point around and start slicing from the other side, making that "cliff" piece that last slice?

Hey...I know this video is old but I just smoked my first brisket overnight for brisket breakfast! This video was excellent for the beginner...it sliced up perfectly! Thanks for the video. One question...where did you get that apron?

Im glad I found and watched this video, Im about 30 minutes out from cutting my first brisket. The hard part is waiting

[@garyt2542]

Great job!! What’s a pencil?

[@HAmerberty]

Hi Jeremy I have a question I hope you can help me with. When I smoke brisket, I tend to have a layer of harder bark on the top and bottom that are hard to cut through. I tend to make a mess when I cut and squeeze the meat into mash. How to have a tender bark? Thank you.

[@floryder8385]

Not sure what Jeremy would say but some tips that may help. Use a drip pan with hot water. Spay some type of liquid every 30min or hour. Wrap in foil or paper around 5 hours in. Make sure your smoke is clear. Dark/Deep smoke is not good, you want clear smoke. Jeremy did a video about smoke and how to control it. Hope this helps.

[@handcannon1388]

Wrapping in foil will generally result in a fairly soft bark. Letting the brisket rest for up to a couple hours while wrapped in a cooler couldn't hurt either.

[@Ingeniousleo85]

Got my very first brisket resting right now, so why not come here and see how I’m supposed to cut the thing 😂. Thanks for all the videos and tutorials!

If you think you'll have leftovers, do you still slice the whole thing, or only what will be eaten immediately?

[@martinreynolds2870]

Excellent video. Thanks for doing this.

[@GeoDab]

Just found your channel. This was awesome.

[@mguerramd]

I seperate the point from the flat, scrape off ALL the inter muscular fat, and then slice them individually. This leaves the outside fat on the flat that you trimmed to thickness before cooking. And of course the point has all the fat in it you could possibly want anyway .Then serve a little of each to the guests and tell them to take a small bite of point with each bite of flat. Try it once.

[@tyroneodom855]

Always on point with your videos. Really helped me with my brisket cooking. Thanks!!

[@nicholaspacheco4551]

Just sliced my first brisket I couldn't believe how juicy and tender it was

[@JavierLopez-ht7xe]

Thanks for the video Mr. Yoder. Question; how many slices of brisket do you serve per person at an event when serving it with other meats?

[@robertbono993]

3 lean slices per person, or 1 lean 1 fatty per person. The weight you are looking to serve per person is 1/2 pound. The number of slices may vary depending on how big your brisket is.

[@EricsBBQAndMORE]

I will be re watching this before I cut my next one! Thank you for the video!

[@xHighPotencyx]

How do you feel about separating the flat and point after cooking? It makes sense to me so you can slice each muscle in the correct orientation the whole way across, but I'm under the impression that it's considered somewhat heretical. I did it on my first brisket and I thought it worked great.

[@joser0618]

I agree seems better. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6S4mGdtlq-inNU

[@handcannon1388]

That's what I did, too. I did make chunks out of the point after separating the two - then I ate most of the chunks. Pitmaster privilege.

[@THIRDACCOUNTEMMA]

I gasped when you threw away that fat. That is so so good, especially when cooked right.

[@latenitefab]

How long and what temperature did you smoke this on? When do you wrap it? Looks good.
