Slow 'N Sear Brisket on Weber Kettle Performer

[@Big7Lou]

...all these fancy smokers we use and you turn out a beautifully cooked brisket with fine looking bark like that on a weber kettle! Nice Job!

[@desmundlighten3603]

Man I was so excited when you got my same cooking set up, great cook looked scrumptious especially that point. I wish I could get my hands on a prime at a prime price ;) i know you don't wrap especially on your stick burner but may be worth a try wrapping it in single layer of butcher paper after you get the bark that you want. It helps me retain some of the moisture and while you getting your tenderization on, at least for me on the kettle it does. Keep up the excellent videos my wife even watched with me this morning

[@bostex1]

Thanks T-Roy. I've been eyeing the Slow 'N Sear for a while. I have a Smokenator but I like the simplicity and performance I see the Slow 'N Sear provides. Thanks again for all your videos.

[@bostex1]

I actually just pulled the trigger on the Slow 'N Sear Plus and the Drip 'N Griddle set-up you are showing. Thanks for the links provided and your videos. Always enjoy your videos.

[@itr0863]

crazy the things u can do with a weber kettle! best bang for the buck!

[@jaguar5198]

When you see juices flowing from the meat, then you know it did its job. Very good job on the kettle T-Roy!!!

[@WR3ND]

It's pretty cool how he could just read the piece of meat he got and new when to pull it off, cooking it with the somewhat uneven sides. This man knows his brisket; that's for sure.

[@henryfabian3187]

Thanks for using this set up, I bet there are many of us kettle owners with the SnS that would like to see you do more cooks with it. I was going to buy a WSM, but I took Justin's advice & purchased a 26" kettle instead. Cheers!

[@SisyphusInTexas]

I did the HEB Prime Brisket for Mother's Day (along with their Prime RIbeye). HEB now has H-E-B Wagyu Brisket for $5.99 / LB! I REALLY wish I could post my pix of the incremental process - the final product looked and tasted AMAZING! Of course, the Slow 'n Sear on the Prime Ribeye was very good (no leftovers on the steak). There were also several other meats slow 'n seaared while the brisket rested for ~ 2 hours. Among them were wild hog sausage (Eddie Franco's - Rock Springs TX), seasoned thin chicket breasts, pork chops, and a Holmes Garlic sausage. Not as good as Franklin's brisket, but no one was disappointed...

[@bobbyherdman243]

Tough flat is for tacos, but that flat is just fine. Brisket flat in my area is $8.99lb. Packer briskets are $4.99 for “choice” I think the choice they say is that’s the only choice you have haha. I saw a comment about a smoke ring. Smoke ring doesn’t mean flavor. Just got the new slow n sear and I want to cook a packer brisket on it. I have a 18 wsm and a large bge so the kettle will be the brisket cooker. Cheers Mr. T-Roy!!!

[@randycorreia349]

I love the slow & sear method I've used on steaks before. Adrenaline has good videos too. I hope your enjoying yourself during your travels.

[@Airstream4458]

That's awesome, Troy ! The Slow and Sear has been on my BBQ wish list for awhile now. I got a Weber Performer a couple of months ago and love it ! I'll probably be ordering two of them next month, one for me and one for my son's birthday coming up....I got him his first grill back in the spring, a Weber kettle grill, and getting him started off on the right foot making his own BBQ. Anyway, I kind of blew my BBQ budget all to pieces this month ordering a couple of briskets and some steaks from Lobel's (not that I'm complaining ! LOL). Also, thanks for trying out the Kingsford Long Burn for us as I've seen it in the stores and I've been curious about it. I've always stuck with the standard Kingsford Blue and have had great luck with it. I'll be giving that a try as well for my longer cooks. Cheers Troy !

[@sammcgovern8540]

I love to hate watching these, they ALWAYS make me hungry! That looks AWESOME, Troy you are my hero! Great video as always. Keep them coming!

[@BiggsHomeCookin]

Great cook Troy! The brisket look good and juicy... can't believe your coals lasted that long. When I use the original coals they burn for 7-8 hrs. I do have a bag of the long burning that I wanted to use on a long cook, such as a brisket that I just picked to up to cook next weekend on the Weber with the S 'N S... Thanks! Happy Motoring : )

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Awesome run on one load of coals. Looked great.

[@Shalleeb]

Hey T-roy haven't commented in awhile haha just wanted to say you inspire me to learn how to cook/bbq so much. Been watching your videos for a good 2-3 years now. You seem like such a great guy man. I really love watching your video's and learning so much. I dont get to grill out much as i still live with family but.. my grandfather is a great cook and lives a few states away i always try to watch him grill when i can and learn what i can when im there! But seeing your videos always reminds of him and his talent. Just wanted to thank you for your hard work/time/dedication in your video's. Im planning on moving out in the next year or so and if you had time to answer my question it would be awesome. If not any other subscribers feel free to chime in! But what is a good starter grill/smoker for a young 2 person household? Thanks to everyone in advance! Much love t-roy keep doing what you do! Thank you!! -Caleb

[@paulrhodes7775]

I have a slow n sear and a weber 22 inch kettle like the one used in the video. It's my first setup and I really enjoy it. It's easy to use, plus it's ver versatile, so you can cook a lot of different things and aren't just limited to a smoker. Added benefit of being pretty affordable, I'd recommend checking craigslist for a used weber kettle, there are plenty floating around. Hope this helps!

[@Janmann2007]

This is a nice looking brisket if I've ever seen one, honestly! Juicier than what you usually see on KZbin, spectacular, even bark. Very nicely done!

[@CookingwithKirby]

Great cook brotha Troy. I just got me a slow n sear. I am going to do this cook for sure. Thank you for the tips and tricks using it.

[@mar91942]

Last Saturday, I smoked a brisket in the smoker and then seared it on my charcoal grill. The bark was amazing

[@soulfoodqueennet]

Good Morning...T-Roy thanks so much for sharing this video my friend.

[@SmokeyGoodness]

Nothin' better than spending a day with the S'NS and a Weber, I just did! 😆 What a great lookin' brisket, raining juices and wrapped in a killer bark. Great video, Troy!!!

[@BigLewBBQ]

Daryl at Bad Beast BBQ did a comparison test with the long burning charcoal versus the Original blue bag Kingsford. His results were not dramatically different. The original burned almost as long as the Long Burning. His results confirmed my thoughts when I used the Long Burning stuff. I just didn't think it was that impressive. However, I did think your Brisket impressive.

[@davidgonzalez6014]

Love your videos so much. Been buying so much of the seasonings you show in your videos. I'm from Los Angeles and you can't find decent seasonings or Rubs for meats. Keep making videos because you've been inspiring me to BBQ a lot more, especially in this pandemic.

[@BarlowBBQ]

Yep, every time I add charcoal to the SnS, one briquette always ends up in the water pan without fail! Lol! Really nice job with that brisket, brother Troy - the SnS sure can handle it. Oh and I love that green kettle! Smoke em if ya got em!

[@RayMacksKitchenandGrill]

Awesome...looks good T-Roy.

[@SnSGrills]

Love the video! You want to see expensive brisket, come to North Carolina!

[@mgarwatoski]

Adrenaline Barbecue Company I get Prime whole packers at Costco in Raleigh for $3.99/lb and CAB at Restaurant Depot for a low as $2.86/lb

[@SnSGrills]

Mark Garwatoski true but our Costco in Charlotte rarely has a whole packer. In Texas there are literally cases of them in every store and they r all cheap.

[@RBCbomber]

I paid $5.99/lb in Maine this past week for select! You guys have it good down south

[@SnSGrills]

Most grocery stores here don't have packers, and when they do, want as much as $9 per lb for them.

[@Janmann2007]

You should try Germany. Prime grade brisket easily sells at 12-13$ (25€/kg)...and depending on the cattle it should at least be Prime grade, if it's German beef, as it's usually quite a bit leaner than US- or South American beef.

[@Outdoor-Space]

You're killing me!! I can almost taste it! Color and texture are amazing!! You're not only selling me on Slow and Sear, but your master piece in the art of bbq is exceptional!! Thank you much for sharing!

[@TROYCOOKS]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video Sean. They just came out with an updated model of the Slow 'n Sear where you can take out the water pan section and have more space for the charcoal. It's a great accessory for the Kettle! Thanks for watching brother! Cheers!!!

[@steveo6622]

Think the slow-And-sear will be my next BBQing purchase.. Been studying them now for a while.. Thanks for the awesome video T Roy!!!!

[@SmokingwithBush]

HEB with the come through on that brisket! Thanks to you, I only mess with Prime or above briskets and they are incredible! That bark was perfect, T-Roy

[@wheat2714]

hey thanks for the great brisket how to and the slow and sear with the drip pan .. I am still searching for the smoking/grill I want, but getting pretty close to choosing between WSM 22 or the weber kettle 26.75. also I looked and like your WSM modification, I also recommend a guy (phil in florence) on his modification to his WSM, between the both of you is why its been hard to decide on which one to buy....anyway thanks again for teaching me and all of us how to smoke/grill, have a beer and enjoy family friends and fun, as we say in Georgia smoke on dawg (dog)

[@outlaw5065]

I just ordered a slow n sear, been waiting a long time for the slow n sear to be available in Australia 🇦🇺

[@MrAdamal1968]

I need to stop watching these videos at work...it just makes me so hungry!

[@sfmgolf]

Another great video Troy! That Slow n Sear worked awesome, also the Long Burning charcoal. I use the long burn all the time. Good stuff!

[@NicolasGonzalez-cm2wg]

Looks good!!! What happened to the smoke ring?

[@Sistopha]

the flat looks like a piece of ham

[@NoHippieBBQCooking]

Got to have patience. I really like that slow n sear. I want to do a review on it, but i use it too much to clean it up

[@getter7seven]

Man Troy, you've gotta start slicing these amazingly juicy briskets over a giant gravy boat or some such---you need that goodness more than the wooden cutting board does!

[@jasonsanitz5623]

Hard to beat the kettle! Good video brother, thanks for putting that on, a surprisingly great smoking tool!

[@TheHollarBBQ]

Good looking brisket Troy. I got to get me a slow and sear.

[@nb-0336]

Awesome job Troy. I LOVE MY SLOW N SEAR . Good luck with it, and I'm looking forward to seeing you do more cooks with it

[@darinbradshaw1112]

Planning on using this method to smoke some ribs this weekend!

[@progers5019]

Nice brisket cook. The SnS did the job. I need to try another brisket. The first one was just a flat. I think Ms Karen wanted the rest time to be eat time. lol Enjoyed it

[@juangarcia4283]

Hey T-Roy. That was some mighty fine looking brisket. Great looking bark. l live in the D/FW are and always get my brisket from Costco. They sell their Prime Brisket for $2.99 lb.

[@cjlandmark13]

Which CostCo do you shop at? Last few times I've checked they had the prime between 3.99/4.99 if they have any briskets at all.

[@BabyBackManiac]

Try east Plano. Usually between 3-4 per pound.

[@juangarcia4283]

I stand corrected. Costco in Southlake is selling for $3.99lb right now. I asked the butcher is the price was going back down anytime soon and he said that they would drop the price in the winter sometime.

[@kingrueben1211]

That brisket looks wonderful!!!!

[@gweinrich]

Hey T roy!!!Cook up some mash potatoes and gravey with corn on the cob cooked on the grill with that brisket!!!!

[@vandarye]

What cooks a better brisket, the kettle or wsm? I have a kettle, but am considering a wsm just for briskets. Is there an appreciable difference in the outcome?

[@ericescorcia3161]

WSM

[@SmokedReb]

Slow 'N Sear for the win! Troy that brisket was on point.

[@_rdque8274]

T-Roy, that brisket was on point man!! I'm an Egg man, but man you got thinking about adding a Weber kettle to my arsenal. Cheers to you brother!!

[@Paparoach-hc6il]

Looked wonderful, hard to find prime brisket here where I live. Keep up the good work buddy.

[@BBQGuys]

I know one thing is for sure, T-Roy knows good brisket! "Ive been hungry and it's been resting for an hour and a half?!" LOL Karen knows the delicousness that awaits.

[@4000marcdman]

Harry says to put the wood in the bottom of the coals. In your experience have you noticed a difference?

[@jamesculbertson1746]

Did you ever have to refill the slow & sear with water during the cook?

[@elfcane]

Pound for pound and dollar for dollar, is this you best pit? Thanks Troy!

[@OnTheFritz602]

Were the briquettes still burning from the original load you put it? No addition? Like that slow and sear, need to look into that. And the brisket looked fantastic! Love my basic 22" Weber kettle, so versatile, and this proves that even more so.

[@andrewjh50]

How does this compare to cooking brisket on the Yoder with all wood fire.... as opposed to briquets with wood chunks??

[@LassesFoodAndBarbecue]

Need to do a brisket. Have seen so many videos. Extremely rare to find it here in seden though - and last time it was close to $10 per pound - so no bargain. But still would be nice :)

[@skwerlee]

Great cook Troy! I bet wrapping in butcher paper would've helped that flat out.

[@kenBard]

Nice Video as always T-Roy ... I did a brisket in Weber Kettle with S-N-S and it turned out great also... in fact it was one of those Prime's from HEB... I am totally impressed with this cut of meat. The standard packer costs about $1.96 /lb. I was wondering why you decided to cook with the fat side down? In other cooks you usually cook with the fat side up. Have you ever cooked 2 briskets fat-up / fat-down to test and compare the quality of the meat after? I had difficulty controlling my temp though, I was having to deal with the air vents... the temp was flying from 220 to 300. I thought that it popping up so high was going to be a problem, but when I cut into the meat it was juicy and tender. Took about 12 hrs like yours. I only use kosher salt and course grind pepper on mine... - Thanks again for a great video. .. I am in Hutto and believe I can smell your Q cookin' ;-)

[@BensBQ]

Oooh...great video...now I see where you can buy the 'slow & sear' :D cheers from Holland Troy!

[@eltonsbbq-pit]

I really like that slow n sear gadgets.. Unfortunately they are not in the grillstores here in Norway so i have order it from Amazon or from Adrenaline.. but the P&P are more than the price of the product... lol Great video brother.. Cheers

[@TheFlatlander440]

Another awesome video there T-Roy and the brisket looks delicious. Cheers my friend!

[@TheKevman13]

I want T-Roy's backyard. Look at all those grills!

[@tinaentz8185]

Very impressive. Looks very versatile. Looks like a set up that I need. Thank you very much Troy. Wonderful video. Are you going to come out with your own line of rubs and or seasonings?

[@joes248]

Today makes the second brisket I've made following your video. Everything the same except the rub. 👍👍

[@SmokeTrailsBBQ]

Oh my damn! Mouthgasm achieved!

[@meatcranium4280]

Troy that looked really good. I'm going to try that kingford on one of my next cooks. Maybe a Brisket flat challenge

[@JoshandBabe]

Looked like an awesome cook

[@stevemcqueen1916]

3.99 a pound seems like a pretty good price for USDA prime

[@mylesmastersen3520]

The slow n sear seemed to do the trick ! Good stuff brother!

[@jpfisher1952]

Dang it now i want BRISKET! Nice job

[@steakwilliams4448]

My family always wanted me to cut up the brisket after 20 mins of resting. I always insisted it had to rest longer. I don't think I ever successfully rested it the full two hours!

[@OLDBD1]

Man you always make this look so easy! I tried the pork butt , it took for ever . Always good to see you Bro .

[@prestonbuffington954]

Another great cook T-ROY. Cheers.

[@jaysun0722]

Hey T-Roy! Really enjoy your weekly videos. Good stuff bud. Quick question, have you used CampChef pellet smoker to smoke brisket/pork butt etc.? If so, what are your thoughts on the pellet smoker? Much appreciated.

[@BabyBackManiac]

It may seem dry but this brisket looks great. I think Lobels has just raised your standards too high. Lol. Great video, man. See you soon.

[@learntobbq]

Not sure why you need the Slow and Sear? You could have done this just using your grill.

[@kyledurepo4355]

Hey T-Roy! Since you have both a Weber kettle and a PBC I wanted to get your insight on what you would do in my situation. I just bought a Weber 26” kettle and I’m back and forth between getting the Slow N Sear vs a PBC. My main thing is I’m concerned about ribs and the ability to hang them vs not. I’m not sure how many racks I could do on the 26 without using a rib rack (which seems kind of annoying). Whereas the PBC has the benefit of hanging them. I’ve also read and watched videos of people saying the PBC gives a different flavor profile. What are your thoughts?

[@curtisg5600]

PBC is a great rib cooker

[@brentkappler8100]

Looks delicious. But you didn’t wrap it, the last two hours or so. Why not?

[@biggbellylove]

*T-ROY* MAN OH MAN OH MAN MMMMM. I really have been itching to do me a brisket lately too. I always have bad experience with kingford coal going out early. But I might try long burn now, because of you. Kingsford should sponsor you now😁 God bless Brother, your good ol Arkansas friend Bigg Kris.

[@RyneDouglasPearson]

That point looked especially tasty. Nice one!

[@HORHAYY10]

ALSO Kettle looks unused - how do you keep it so clean??!!

[@AlbertoGonzalez-tc2ju]

What a great looking piece of beef, i cant wait to i try one... Good job!!

[@KenAdams426]

have you heard about the Weber briquettes? did you ever get a chance to use them? at $20 a pop, it would be hard to just get a bag to just use away. But the pictures i've seen they are bigger and some say they last longer. I didnt get to my local target quick enough to get the clearance sale on them.

[@byronchandler5000]

Hi, Troy. What's your favorite T-ROY COOKS video that you ever made? Have a good day, good buddy.

[@ronl384]

Did you have to add water at any point? Is so when and if not why not?

[@NorthTexasBBQAddicts]

That looks great!!! Makes me want to toss a brisket on the weber with the Slow n Sear RIGHT NEEEOOW lol. Great one T roy. I know ive already seen this but just binge watchin. COME ON BACK Brotha! lol #Cheers

[@elrabbitsbbq]

Another one out the park brother!! Cheers to ya T Roy!!

[@mywilltolive1]

Hey T-roy great job as usual. I live here in Austin, and have been buying raw beef sausage from the Texas Sausage Co. on 12th Street. Can you do a video showing how you slow smoke sausage? I can't seem to find the right temp/time combination like the BBQ joints serve. Any help is appreciated. Thanks my friend!

[@thedoeweb]

Looks good, I'm going to be purchasing the Slow N Sear 2.0, was wondering where/what the half tray on the other side is for? I'm guessing for easier clean up, but not sure where you can get that?

[@ChuckRiley]

T-Roy, great channel. Found you through Justin. You're making me hungry dude.

[@daveherron]

Mustang GT - auto @ 8:40 I believe (dont ask random comment) Oops forgot why I commented - just wanted to say thanks for your vids. Have watched for a long time. You're one of the good ol' boys that Id sit around a campfire (or grill) and share beers with. :)

[@TROYCOOKS]

Good ear Dave! And yes, you know me all too well brother! 😁

[@mickmartin8975]

'Karen I like too babe'... Classic line. Now T Roy, can we have some Cajun/Crab shrimp/crab boil please

[@yomax5938]

Hi T-Roy, I enjoy your videos very much. I am a BBQ enthusiast out in California and I was wondering if you can tell me which smoker you prefer cooking with. I want to get my first smoker and i was looking at getting an offset smoker but I thought I shpuld ask some of the pros like yourself first. Thank you very much for the great videos!

[@yomax5938]

I just saw another video where you said you prefer the offset.

[@aussievaliant4949]

I'll be there in about 30 plus hours to share. Looks fabulous. I'll bring some Shiner Bock.....

[@TROYCOOKS]

If you traveled that far to see me, I'd provide the Shiner Bock and also smoke you a Texas style brisket on my Yoder Wichita!!! Thanks for watching brother!!!! Cheers

[@GadjetGriller]

I've been burned out on BBQ lately (been craving Lobster, Crab, & Scallops! Not good for flat land locked Lubbock) but Boy oh boy did that Bark look awesome! It was so juicy Man o Man! already got bigcountrybarbecue.com pulled up on my 2nd monitor. 1 question is the Acai Pomegranate spritz you use is it just out of a bottle (like Vitaminwater) of did you mix it yourself?? Sounds interesting!! Great Video as always!

[@HORHAYY10]

OK so this is a question from the UK - how many people in America have their own pools? How successful do you have to be to have one, or not? Does it vary by state? Only millionaires in the UK have them so I'm always surprised to see so many pools in 'murica!

[@kennethmcelrath3468]

Good stuff T.Roy

[@rmr24]

Bought a packer prime this weekend from Sam's Club in Amarillo, Texas for $2.49/lbs. same price as select grade, go figure.

[@KenAdams426]

is it the slow and sear or is it the charcoal or is it a combination of both?

[@4000marcdman]

How much are those two items? How many rolls of foil can you buy with that much? Just wondering how long is the return on the investment.

[@georgesanders9661]

Another great video Troy, keep um coming.

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

Man that point looks amazing!!

[@joemelendez7113]

I live in the Los Angeles suburbs and was told by the manager of the meat dept at Costco that most of the brisket Costco gets is sent to Texas and the rest of the South. When I complained that some of us in So Cal, too, like to smoke brisket, whole packers started to show up! I can get a 14 pounder for approximately $47 to $50 bucks but well worth the price. I was also told that So Cal get the lion's share of Tri Tip - a good cut of beef as well. Happy smoking from California!

[@TB--1]

Joe Melendez I grew up in NC, then spent 13yrs in TX, and moved to CO 7 years ago where I first had a tri-tip which is now a favorite... On a recent trip back to Charlotte I asked a butcher for tri-tip so I could cook for the family and his response was.... Go visit California if you want one of those!

[@joemelendez7113]

TB, sad to hear our smoking brothers can't get tri-tip in the East. Years ago, I was at the World Chili Championship in Omaha, NE, and met a pit master from NC. We learned a few tricks from each other, very nice man.

[@steakwilliams4448]

Love tri tip. I haven't been able to find it in Idaho
