Guys, Mama and Papa Joes teaches a great class !!! i was at a very long hit or miss with my chicken..right out the gate walked second in chicken.... This video is exactly what he teaches... so if you have friends that are cooking then you need to send them to his videos... and if your even remotely local try t5o catch one of his classes.. they are the best at what they do...and that's Winning and Teaching..

Sir,this was very well done. I enjoyed it very much. And that trim looked beautiful. Brother James sent me to check out your channel and so you know I have subscribed and am looking forward to seeing your other videos. 😃👍🔥

[@mamaandpapajoe]

Thanks you so much Victor, plenty more to come. James is a YT beast man! lol

[@robhernandez3378]

CJ, saw new vid from Brother James, he advised us that you know how to get it done, and he was spot on! amazing trim no doubt, but as a backyard BBQ'er, I felt the cuts : ) looking forward to more of your cooks

[@mamaandpapajoe]

LOL... I know the feeling Rob, I've also got a less painful backyard trim out there. Thanks for stopping in and stay tuned for more.

[@rambenitez8506]

Great Job CJ!

[@mamaandpapajoe]

Thanks Ram.

[@Diegocurt73]

awesome

[@mamaandpapajoe]

Thanks Bill.

[@rickortega8530]

Great job! Cj

[@mamaandpapajoe]

Thanks Rick

[@joebox1759]

Great video! What is the final precooked weight of your comp trimmed briskets?

[@mamaandpapajoe]

Great question Joe! it is usually right around 8 lbs... weight affected by overall thickness!

[@bigsalinasbarbecue]

Great video

[@mamaandpapajoe]

Thanks a lot man!

[@thestarvingpigbbq9601]

Wow!!🍺🍻🍺

[@mamaandpapajoe]

Oh yeah!

[@lobosdenbbqco.3918]

Awesome way to explain the shrinking of the point. Do you see a major difference in a high end prime to the wagyu?

[@mamaandpapajoe]

Thanks man! yes, because of fat content, the Wagyus will shrink more.

[@cristenfaught8799]

Do you inject ? Would love to see a brisket cook video . Your videos are so helpful best out there . Keep it coming guys

[@mamaandpapajoe]

Yes Cristen, I inject. There are going to be some shoulders, chicken and brisket cooks coming up. Stay tuned and thanks.

[@yambor44]

Great video! Learned a lot! Could you do a video on how you get/keep your slicing knife (and others I assume) so sharp? I don't think my slicing knife was as sharp as yours when mine was right out of the package. :-)

[@mamaandpapajoe]

lol... I use a simple hand held stone and a honing steel.

[@Michael_Lederman]

Question, where do you stand on beef tallow on the butcher paper when you wrap?

[@mamaandpapajoe]

I've never tried it but I like the idea.

[@arlangarza5899]

Artist.

[@mamaandpapajoe]

That's what's up!

[@jackalexandersr2938]

How long do you cook the Brisket and temp? I never seen Brisket that big around here wow.

[@mamaandpapajoe]

Easiest thing you can do is to figure out where your pit wants to run and then learn to cook at that temp. At comps I'm cooking at 290-300 for 5 hrs and at home 225-250 for 8 plus hrs.

[@jessesanchez9864]

I have been looking for a pellet grill I’ve never used one but which one do you recommend and can you get a smoke ring

[@mamaandpapajoe]

I love Traegers! They are awesome! Price range?

[@adipolo7006]

Good day sir... How much weight did you trim off from the 16lbs you started with?

[@mamaandpapajoe]

Hey Adi, this was a comp trim, so it was a lot more aggressive. I removed about 8 lbs!

[@andyreyes2858]

Great tips. Where did you get the Tupperware?

[@mamaandpapajoe]

Thanks Andy, over the years I've found them at both my local Walmarts and HEBs. They measure something like 10X16X4.

[@ericousleyjr9119]

Cj is this the same way you would trim if you did a KCBS comp?

[@mamaandpapajoe]

Great question Eric. No sir, the flat would be shorter because I would cut down would expose a lot more of the point (burnt ends).

[@TheFmann1000]

Whats the average size that you start off with, like how many pounds is it? Thanks

[@mamaandpapajoe]

I average 15-16 lbs!

[@angrygnomecst]

What sharpener do you use for your knives?

[@mamaandpapajoe]

Nothing fancy bro, I use a Cheap stone and a honer.

[@angrygnomecst]

@@mamaandpapajoe thank you

[@Diegocurt73]

what do you do with the scraps you trimmed off?

[@mamaandpapajoe]

I've made Kebabs, burgers, carne guisado, tacos, beef tallow, lasagne... all on video Bill!

[@PopdaddysBBQ]

that last tip.... container. that's like --- like - Parliament Funkadelic there. Recognize.

[@mamaandpapajoe]

lololol... you're too much man!

[@PopdaddysBBQ]

@@mamaandpapajoe no you are... Jerome... somebody bring us a mirror

[@javierluna6260]

Do u vacuum seal the brisket after trimming or leave in tupperware?

[@mamaandpapajoe]

I leave it in the tupperware after prepping.

[@javierluna6260]

@@mamaandpapajoe thanks! Great info, look forward to more ibca comp videos

[@TheFmann1000]

Do you cook hot and fast or low and slow ?

[@mamaandpapajoe]

I'm a Warm and Quick man...290-300 degrees!

[@dannyrodriguez2330]

About how wide are you leaving the brisket? 9"?

[@mamaandpapajoe]

No more than 7.5 to 8 inches Danny.
