My Very First BEEF BRISKET | Char-Griller XD Grand Champ

[@josephkee1298]

Nice job looks great 👍

[@bobbyrob2008]

NICE JOB MY MAN!!!!! I am seriously eyeballing this grand champ, for the money to have an offset to learn on I think is well worth it. I have been grilling and low and slow BBQing on my little Weber kettle for 10 plus years now, time for an upgrade. Thank You for this video on the grand champ and congrats on you first and successful Brisket cook!!! I have my 4th one in the fridge right now wet aging a bit until I am ready to cook in the AZ heat. Thank again!!! 👊🏼🙏🏼🇺🇸

I love my Grand Champ! I probably use my Weber Kettle more, but the Grand. Champ doe hold more food, that is for sure. Thanks!

[@bobbyrob2008]

[@brianforaker1160]

I am still pondering my first brisket with the prices of them. I am scared to death that I am going to mess it up but I'm going to give it a shot one of these days. Great job Ken! Looks delicious

[@GodFirst-sf9wc]

Test run with a cheaper cut before the big show

[@raytrout8272]

I had a grand champ great smoker I would try tuning plates or turning the main chamber charcoal grate upside down I never tried either but I think that would be good too

[@KenRogersMostlyOutdoors]

I’ve considered getting some tuning grates… thanks!

[@shannonmoa7777]

Thanks for the video, I'm going to smoke my very first brisket too in a few weeks😁 take care

[@KenRogersMostlyOutdoors]

Awesome! I hope it’s the best Brisket ever!

[@burntendzzz]

You need to rotate the point 90 degrees when slicing it, grain goes the other way in comparison to the flat

[@KenRogersMostlyOutdoors]

I know that now! Lol On that day when I did my first Brisket… not so much. Lol. Thanks for watching!

[@billyhopper434]

Looks awesome brother

[@KenRogersMostlyOutdoors]

Thanks, Billy... It came out pretty good!

[@philszymczak5831]

Hey Kenny u did a fantastic job u 👏 👍

[@KenRogersMostlyOutdoors]

Thanks so much! It was quite tasty!

[@cperkin2]

What brand charcoal did you use? Thanks

[@KenRogersMostlyOutdoors]

Hi Chuck! That is Prime 6 charcoal. It a very high end, dense,, restaurant quality charcoal. It burns hotter and last longer that any other charcoal I have used.

[@LorenKyleDiedrich]

What size is the main cooking grate?

[@KenRogersMostlyOutdoors]

That’s a good question… unfortunately my grill cover is still iced over and I can’t measure it at the moment… I will have to get back to you on this one. It’s pretty big though compared to the other Char-Griller grills.

[@pblackjac]

I have a Grand Champ XD. Did you use your smoker in any special configuration? (Ash pan upside down, special homemade baffling, etc) My rookie attempt at a brisket is going to be soon.

[@KenRogersMostlyOutdoors]

I just used the smoker as it comes. I made no changes at all. Just have fun with the first one. It will get better as you do more.

[@pblackjac]

@@KenRogersMostlyOutdoors Just lost my brisket virginity (October 25th 2022). Thanks to your video, it went better than I anticipated. Set my Grand Champ XD just like you have yours, and went for it. It was my longest cook ever. But, was worth it. Compliments from my in-laws and their friends. Can't wait to do it again.

[@KenRogersMostlyOutdoors]

@@pblackjac Awesome! I’m so glad to hear it went well. I’m really enjoying the Grand Champ. It does a great job. Thanks!

[@santiagosepulveda6754]

Sorry was that fat? How did you make it liquid?

[@KenRogersMostlyOutdoors]

You just take your fat trimmings, put them in a crock pot on low. After awhile, it renders down into Tallow… good stuff!

[@grillaholics6290]

Nice!

[@KenRogersMostlyOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@ryotv1747]

Only criticism I have is that you didn't send any my way ooowee she looks good!

[@KenRogersMostlyOutdoors]

Lol… Thanks!

[@goldsbywashington3509]

lid open all the time, a wonder it cooked

[@KenRogersMostlyOutdoors]

Lol… yep, it was open the whole 15 minutes of this cook!

[@jackrosovsky9218]

You sliced the point in the wrong direction.

[@jerrypredmore8793]

Tasty flop no worries

[@KenRogersMostlyOutdoors]

That one came out pretty good, Thanks!
