​@@bbqsouthernstyle~ I hear you there, all my siblings past on n their children n grandchildren don't bother to remember me... I have no grandchildren so now I'm alone... at 80 yrs old I still do some cooking but to make a brisket is way beyond my capability now... however I really enjoyed watching n it sure looks yummy, wish I could join you 😂🍺🍽🍻😅

[@edwardbroom925]

​@@OliverSimon-yr2nyI am in a similar situation. I've made friends with a young family and the husband wants to learn BBQ, so I'm teaching him

Not only are you a great cook, but also a great person for taking the time to show people the old school way of smoking a brisket.

“Stick around. “Don’t go anywhere. “ I could not go away. From the first click, it was captivating and I was hooked. This is one of the best videos I have seen in a very long time. The brisket looked absolutely delicious. This channel is subscribe worthy.

I had the same problem, I could not stop the video to go to sleep. I had to finish watching it.

[@joncrall4628]

I read this as he was saying it

[@shondasharper-jiroh7102]

Ive watched many of your videos... and let me tell you... YOU MASTERED THIS ONE!!! My dad was a chef, here in Texas... which is where i learned my craft... he taught me all about smoking brisket, from starting my fire, seasoing the brisket and NEVER TRIM THAT THING!!!! We let that bad boy render down every piece of fat that it contains... he would say, "That's where your flavor comes from and the fat naturally tenderizes your meat." I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!❤

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Thank you so much, yea just let the fat do the work and your good to go. Old school style. Thank you for watching and love you spending time with us more on the way,

[@frivlus]

I am a 58-year-old retired sailor from Detroit; I learned two things from my fellow sailors from Texas in the '90s; Juneteenth and Brisket. Fast forward 15 years, I moved back to Detroit after my kids had all gotten married and left the nest. I made a brisket for a family BBQ the first month home. My family lost their minds. They were in heaven. Now, we can't have a family event without brisket. My mom is still around and demands that a brisket be brought to accompany the Christmas dinner. Watching your video reminded me of that first brisket I made when I returned home. Since I first saw your video, it inspired me to teach my brothers, nephews, and friends how to smoke brisket. You, sir, are an inspiration. Because of you, at least a dozen more men in Detroit are smoking briskets and other meats for their family and friends. We exchange recipes and share samples regularly. Again, thanks for a great video I have watched and shared multiple times, BTW, Lard?! Shut the front door! Fantastic idea. It made perfectly good sense, even more so with your explanation. Keep up the great work. And yes, I made a whole lotta bad brisket before I got to the good stuff. The fat is where it's at!

Brother, I am new to your channel. I am so glad I found you. Your brisket got over a million views which is much deserved, and you are one in a million when it comes to southern cooking. I hope you are passing this tradition down to other family members because these techniques that you are using are priceless.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Welcome aboard! and thank you lots more on the way.

[@Chauncey_the_Gardener]

That makes me very hungry for meat.

[@glennbrymer4065]

Hats off to you sir. Old school all the way, gotta love it. I grew up out in West Texas in the early 1950s. My family went to a lot of big barbeques. I always hung around the old pit cooks. I would load mesquite wood in a burn barrel, then scoop the coals out of the bottom and carry it to the pits. The pit boss would point to where he wanted the coals. I watched and fetched beers for the cooks. It was a great time for me. My grand daddy was proud of my working in the pits helping out. At the time, Grand Prize beer was popular back then. My initial were GPB. Everybody called me Grand Prize! Or GP for short. I remember the men talking about the meats, basting the cuts with a small mop. The big kettle of pinto beans over the fire. Loved listening to you and watching you do your thing. Also loved that new pit, the air flow looks killer. Looking real good there my friend. God bless you and your family.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Thank you, my friend for sharing the good times of your life. Thank you for watching and Happy Holidays.

[@dewop9252]

This was my first time seeing someone go direct heat with a brisket and I’m Impressed

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Thank you! Check out some other videos this is not the norm BBQ channel lol. Thanks for stopping in.

[@robertmurdock7530]

That's funny because my Stepson, who turns out some pretty good Que, is a Traeger disciple. He does the 3-2-1 method, uses leaky peach paper in the last hour, then wraps it in a beach towel and puts it in a cooler for another hour and a half. Don't quote me, but his brisket is nowhere near what I would call "juicy." I told him about this video & he gave me this funny look 😂. This brisket is obviously so juicy, you could wring it out!

[@kamadok1d]

Really loved to see someone do a direct heat brisket and to hear the history behind. Also loved how he took a Walmart cut and did more with it than 99% of YT “brisket experts” who all use $15/lb ++ cuts. Looked great, and didnt take him all day to do it. Learned a lot here, great stuff!

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Amen and thank you brother.

[@wazza9089]

Dude i totally agree, used the same bit of beef 95% of us would use. Was a real word test. I learned a lot from this video.

[@jeanmeslier9491]

My Grandmother's Dad was a cowboy. He joined the herds at San Antonio for the drive North..Every year before Juneteenth, the Black community leaders would come to his house and give. him the money for him to buy a beef for them to barbecue. They would dig a pit and burn wood a long time to get a pit of coals. They would cut the beef half in two lengthwise and cook it like that. I wish I remembered the times for everything.

[@jeanmeslier9491]

Oh, by the way, I like your style and pretty much agree with everything you say and do. But age and wheelchair have me using a ***gasp***electric smoker.I cook in pans now so no greasy clean up. I looked long time before I found a cooker that suited me. But with a little TLC I ccman still get a preetty descent piece of meat. My sfamily has run out until I am the llast one. My brother joined his wife's family so throughly that his kids don't know our family name .Now I am getting rid of family heirlooms. Folks, don't don't wait tilll you are past 80 to settle up. I tried to clean up the typos by editing but failed miserably.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

I love my electric cooker and pans for fast clean up its a must. Your still in the ballpark my friend Cook on Cook on.

[@oro5z]

Holly crap! This is REAL BBQ, the way man was supossed to cook meat and that's one good looking piece of meat. My wife was watching the video with me and when you sliced the brisket she was impressed and said "I want some!!". Thanks for this great video. Edit: Forgot to mention that your prsentation was great, clear and concise instructions with no added bull.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Thanks for watching.

[@edwardbroom925]

You cook a brisket unlike anybody else on KZbin, and you cook it the same way you're supposed to slice it...across the grain. I'm saving this vid for when I cook a brisket on my Pit Barrel PBX. I appreciate your old school approach. The influence of competition bbq cam be seen in most vids. I appreciate your common sense approach, because all I want to do is see smiling faces when I feed my family and friends.

[@NFLCommentary]

I just confirmed my idea that a beef cut like this does not need a fancy rub. Salt and pepper is all it needs to accentuate the flavor of the beef. So, meat + fat + salt + pepper + six hours in cooker + two hours in oven ( did you say at what temperature?) and that’s it. Personally, I never trim the fat, that’s where the flavor is. Excellent vídeo. Thank you.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

six hours over fire, one hour rapped on the cooker 2 hours in oven at 150 deg

[@NFLCommentary]

Got it, thank you so much for the reply.

You have turned everything I know about brisket upside down, and I love it! I cannot wait to try your technique! I have an Old Smokey 22 inch barbecue pit, I’m hoping I can add an elevated rack which would give me 12 inches from the fire on the bottom to duplicate your barrel. Do you think I could make that work? PS , you have a really genuine and entertaining presentation style, they should give you a network TV show!

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Thank you thank you! Yes, you should be good keeping that fire 12 or more inches away from the fire. keep the meat moist and you should be good. Also don't trim the meat. Thanks again and please let me know how your cook did. I will remember you Nick. Have a great evening my friend.

[@williejohnson5172]

23:21 This guy is a breath of fresh air. A bunch of these BBQ videos had classes and seminars about trimming your brisket and taking off most the fat. One guy became famous for his juicy brisket and guess what his secret was? He'd trim off most the fat. Cook the brisket. Then take butcher paper soaked in melted tallow, wrap the cooked brisket in the butcher paper and cook it for about another hour or so. Then he'd unwrap it, and like this pitmaster said, he would show how juicy it was. And I was LMAO. I was screaming at him to just leave the fat on. And like the pitmaster said, I only buy the fatty 3 dollar a pound brisket for BBQing. And I have never ever ever seen old school BBQ'ers use injections. I differ from the pit master a bit in that I cook my brisket fat side up. All that bark flavored fat actually acts as a continuous basing station. As the fat is being rendered it is serving as a continuous base, slowly working its way through the meat. You get a more pronounced smoke ring this way. But I do agree it is more difficult to render the fat down to that "gooey" stage. But that gooey rendered fat is so so good. I believe competition barbecue has destroyed old school (pork) BBQ. Did you all see all that smoke and steam that was billowing out when he took the lid off to the smoker? That is what the old timers wanted. I saw some competition show and the judges said smoke was an indication that your fire was dirty and not combusting efficiently and would impart an offtaste to the meat. One guy bragged about hardly any smoke coming out his smoke stack. Again. I was LMAO. It's that smoke that gives the flavor. Some of the best BBQ I've ever had was cooked on old tin washtubs. In the old days you could smell the BBQ two blocks away before you got to where it was being cooked. I don't know where this guy is from but he definitely knows how to BBQ old school style.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Thank you for the truth on BBQ. We need to go back without the gimmicks.

[@Oits55]

​@@bbqsouthernstyleI really enjoyed your video. It looks so delicious! Like Willie, I always cooked the meat initially with the fat side up. Why do you start with the fat side down? Thanks!

[@iamkilroiyo]

So I've cooked brisket several times using this technique and it works perfectly. I really like the mop sauce and it does help keep the fire under control. I cook to feel and my briskets usually take an hour longer, but there are many factors that could go into the longer cook. In my opinion the flavor over fire is about as good as it gets. Thank you for the lesson!

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

So true and thank you for watching my friend.

[@UCDRebel]

For a 45 min video, the longest part I couldn't wait for was the cut reveal. You cut the brisket in half and left us hanging...with putting the wrapper away and the temp of the brisket, you had just wait a whole 30 secs before seeing the inside of the brisket. I was too anxious to see it and it did not disappoint. The outside was perfect and the inside was surprisingly moist for a choice grade brisket and smoked directly for only 6 hours.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Thank you!

[@paulelephant9521]

Man!, I've just eaten a decent sized meal and that brisket is still making my mouth water, looks amazing! Love the old school simplicity of the prep, sometimes doing something in a straightforward way, just concentrating on a few crucial details is better than trying to do all sorts of fancy stuff, gets the best results.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

[@mitchellwilliams9697]

[@stroys7061]

I’m a 74 YO carnivore for a couple of years. I feel 20 years younger. This video had me drooling. I live mostly on steak and ground beef with an occasional pork ribs and fish. I would consider that brisket to be a feast fit for a carnivore!

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

LOl thank you sir. Glad to see you still love your meats. I want to be just like you when I grow up lol. Thank you for sharing and watching.

[@LeonFields-d9d]

Tallow is used to help tenderize the meat after the bark has been developed. Some people use tallow improperly by spreading it on the butcher paper or not using enough for it to confit, that’s why they’re unsuccessful or don’t understand the purpose of tallow. I prefer using some of the brisket trimmings to make my tallow instead of buying it. And I never trim off too much fat from the flat side because it’s already leaner and smaller than the point. I also prefer an offset over a drum when it comes to cooking brisket because you get to keep the flat side away from the fire more than you can with a drum cooker and it’s easier to add more wood/ flavor throughout your cook. Hardly ever do I spritz unless it’s necessary. I think adding a liquid to a brisket before the bark sets will delay the formation of bark on a brisket. Some briskets I see don’t even have a proper bark.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

I hear you my friend I concur thanks for watching and great comment.

[@danparisi975]

This was really a great video. When I saw it was 44 minutes long, I thought I can't spend that long watching a brisket smoke.

[@lmduda]

This is what it’s about. I’m so tired of hearing everyone trying to create the “perfect brisket” by adding wagyu tallow and paying $29.99 a lb for something that was never intended to be that. Well done on the cook and staying true to what brisket is for.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Thank you, we have to hold onto tradition or the next generation well lost forever.

[@desmundlighten3603]

Ill say this, your logic is definitely sound even if flawed in some aspects lol. The oil on the steak demonstration was hilarious. You can have good logic and end up at the wrong location btw. Trimming fat for offset cooking is ideal as you say it wont render. leaving more fat externally does nothing for internal moisture as that comes from the intramuscular marbling,you cook that out and all the fat in the world outside wont save it. You are right, tallow does nothing for moisture in the sense people believe. People mainly use tallow to soften the bark and prevent it from drying out while its being held in a warmer or oven until ready to serve. I make my own tallow with the trimmings. Finally, yes it does look visibly pleasing on the board as we eat with our eyes. Love your channel and your pit collection. Would love to see a behind the scenes of that offset build.

Thank you my friend and that's a Big Fat 10-4 Happy Holidays and thanks for watching.

[@roberttamayo1664]

I agree with your comment about your 50+ cookers that they all do something different. The brisket looks amazing! Thanks for sharing.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

LOl right. I have like 20 more now days.

[@2_Sigma]

First time I ever had any level of success with Brisket. Thank You Very Much!!!!

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Our pleasure! It gets better from here out!

[@maureenamos7868]

Hi from Australia. Great presentation and instructions! My mouth was watering. I'm a single70yo female. Living alone, no cooker, so I'm not likely to be cooking this, but gee, id love to taste it. You have a beautiful voice and this video was a sheer pleasure to watch! ❤

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Wow thank you for your very kind words they hit home. Glad to have you watching. Happy New year Maureen.

[@TheDadCam361]

This is an awesome video. Your personality is so chill. I like how you simply explain your own style of cooking without hating on what others do.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

I appreciate that! thank we are all just trying to make nice food at the end of the day lol why hate on our fellow brothers and sisters. Thank you for watching and the great feedback my friend a safe and Happy 2024 to you!

[@marlont7177]

Hell of a job brother great video and good explanation on how this cook was done.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Glad you enjoyed it thank you sir.

[@grnttylr480]

I will always consider a no nonsense attitude with a deep voice. Well done, sir.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Thank you my friend. I'm a straight shooter. Appreciate you watching.

[@miogi0072]

I almost bit off the side of my tongue and inside cheek when you sliced that brisket up ... new sub here 🙋‍♀️

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Lol Welcome and thank you!

[@duncanjames914]

Thanks for your video tutorial. I appreciate the simplicity of the rub and method. I also appreciated the wisdom of your answers in the Q&A. Well done sir!

You are so welcome! thanks for watching.

[@bigelvisthechefrosenberg5494]

Great commentary, love the way you presented your show. Really good ,really professional... pace

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Much appreciated! Thank you.

[@g-daddy7669]

FYI- You can avoid using the bars to restrict air flow… you can use flexible refrigerator magnets to (example is magnetic calendars) or a large round magnet for each hole. I have a drum smoker and it works perfectly

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Thanks for the info!

[@tomm9493]

Just discovered your videos. You are fantastic! Looking forward to watching & learning more from you. 👍

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Welcome aboard! Glad to have you with us.

[@rodericamos127]

I love it because you don't change your style of cooking because so-called BBQ kings do. Your cooks and multiple cooking grills are very educational cooking.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

I appreciate thank you when you do your own thing it's much more relaxing lol.

[@jameswilson2424]

Excellent video. Very informative. When I seperate the point from the flat I actually remove the point section from the flat section by cutting it off through the deckle.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Thanks for sharing!

[@hojobbq]

Great video as always - have used this technique numerous times on my direct heat hill country cooker - both briskets and shoulder clods - meat about 24 inches above the coals - comes out perfect every time - thanks for sharing - Ted

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Thank you, and you sound like you cook a mean Brisket too lol

[@jonnyvance8993]

Thank you for your video. And the side cooker that you're building is cool

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

So nice of you thank you.

[@jerryhubbard4461]

I too love the art of cooking and I have done my share. At 71 now, I don't have many to cook for as in the past. But my love for smoking is the open pit. Just enjoy sitting around after the meat is on, keep check on temps and adding wood when you need it. And the smell of my favorite wood, hickory. I know in Texas you have a lot of post oak. Here in SC, hickory is more abundant. Enjoyed your video

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Thank you sir and I think wood is wood long as the flavor from it is good lol. No one has to use the same wood every time that gets boring lol.

[@stevekennon1786]

Well done Mr. BBQ Southern Style. I own a Pit Barrel cooker, but I've been afraid to try cooking a brisket on it. After watching this video I'm going to give it a try. Thanks for this video and all the other videos. No doubt about it you're the best BBQ Pit Master on KZbin.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Thank you for the tall kind compliment glad to have you watching,

[@razzbuddy]

I’ve done 2 briskets on my pit barrel but using the hooks. Not a pit master but had very good results. A little over 6 hours for me. I did wrap at 160 and placed on grill until finished. I’m learning interesting techniques from this gentlemen. Intend to continue to explore his recipes.

[@jtam70]

I've done this 2 times on the PBC. You can't go wrong with these instructions. Mr. @bbqsouthernstyle knows what he is talking about.

[@usa91787]

Yeah, this is the best I've had on my Pit Barrel. I also wrap it and toss it in the oven at 160 or one of my coolers from a medical office. Super high density foam if no oven. I put it in for several hours and it comes out like butter.

[@ttrguy9952]

Epic video Sir! That is the way Brisket should be. Thank you for this video! 👍👍

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching.

[@lindasimmons2336]

This is my first time seeing this chef. I'm so happy I stumbled, accused his show. The meat looks soooooo good. I'm going to try this. I know it won't be as good as his, I "m going to try it anyway . I also want to say. I just love, love this man's voice.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Welcome and thank you we appreciate you watching. I hope you give it a try you got this.

[@seanbeattie6752]

I followed your instruction and I can honestly say best brisket I've ever made and in like 6.5 hrs thank you soooooo much. Will definitely do this again next time and every time going forward.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Great to hear I could help and thank you for sharing music to my ears lol.

[@kathleengraham4928]

Thank you.... I had given up on brisket.... it is has been years since I have had a good brisket and you have renewed my desire to try it again.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Wonderful!

[@elisafisher7234]

I just LOVE your commercial voice! I'm sticking around not going anywhere. Thank meat looked so good when you flipped it over. Definitely juicy. I have a question. Have you cooked brisket in the oven and if so, can you do a video? Thanks for the GREAT video, you made me hungry when you cut through the fatty part.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Thank you so much and to be honest I never did a oven Brisket may have to for you guys. Thank you for watching and the voice comment lol.

[@jasonriley8186]

You made good points about tallow can't argue. I use it for flavor. My favorite way to fry chicken is in the tallow I make from brisket trim

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Thank you just my opinion on things lol.

[@judolee6498]

Dude, you kill me with your simplicity!!!! Your way is the way I learned to cook! I do like using a offset smoker for pork butt though! but for brisket it just doesn't make sense to cut all that fat goodness! I am going to start cooking whole lamb soon! Great video too!!

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Thank you got to keep it simple.

[@mapandcallsheet]

This recipe looks amazing ,and it worked out perfectly ,because that’s the exact smoker I wanted to purchase, I thought it was pretty easy to use and a no-brainer ,and now I know it works. Perfect thanks for all the info. And also, I learned a lot ,I knew nothing of cooking a brisket ,and now I feel like I can executed very well with all the stuff you showed us. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Anytime!!!!

[@jasonbyrne4409]

Thank you for introducing me to old school southern style brisket. You've forever changed the way I'll look at cooking brisket, or any type of meat for that matter. I'll take many learnings from this and apply them to my own cooking ventures. Thanks again, my BBQ repertoire is substantially bolstered having found your channel.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

You are so welcome. So glad to make a difference on your BBQ journey my friend. Keep the pit fired up and thank you for watching.

[@debbiemcdowell849]

You made my mouth water, damn that looked good, I could almost taste it. I got about a 8 to 9 pound brisket in my freezer, I learned alot, thank you

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Thank glad to help now you have to go to work on the brisket lol

[@larpsim]

I just want to say how refreshing it is to hear this young black man enunciate where I could understand each and every word clearly. No mumbling and no marble mouth and no double negative or ebonics. 😊

marble mouth🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ThumperKJFK]

Dude. This was EPIC. I have no idea how my Mom did this in the oven. I fall every time. Yours looks just like hers. she would Smoke on the cooker, 10 or so hours, then in the house in the oven. No one was allowed in there. Melt in your mouth no knife needed, use your hands, juice running down your arm. And if there was any left over, even cold out the fridge...Man how many times I got yelled at for picking at it right from the plate in the fridge. LOL Thanks man. Oh by the way, a good friend of mine who lives down in Australia but from the mid West of the USA and was ship mates with none other than Big Moe Cason the BBQ guru. loves your content. He is working on something for you and your channel. I will email you the work in progress. LOL Stay tuned, Don't go anywhere. 👍✌

Thank you lol you always have great stories. Looking forward to your mail.

Congratulations on your views. i hope you have much more success.

Thank you very much!

[@KeepItTechie]

This is exactly how my family cook brisket in Louisiana. Awesome cook and explanation!

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@danoesq2]

I've never seen anything like this. I've cooked over seventy briskets so far and screwed up a lot in the beginning. My go to now basically is to trim, wrap in a foil boat (to preserve the bark). then rest for fifteen hours. I've got to try this now-great video.

[@danoesq2]

I've got a pit barrel and you can control it with foil around the holes, but it's not easy. I've never seen a brisket on a barrel smoker and I'm impressed.

[@danoesq2]

One other thing, do you cut down the deckle at all, because that won't render easily.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Thank you. Leave the fat and don't over think it. Very simple cook.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Nope I cut away nothing. on the pit barrel it renders down.

[@stanmoffitt9297]

Lots of ways to do Brisket, learned something! Thanks for sharing this!

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Our pleasure! Thanks for watching.

[@BigShticks]

I’ve done this method twice. About the only complaint I have about this method is that it leaves a ton of the rendered fat at the bottom of the cooker. It’s literally a puddle. Which can be quite a pain to remove afterwards. Basically I wait until the coals have ashed out, remove the basket & ash pan, then scrape out the cooled solidified fat the next day with a large metal spoon then wipe the residual fats out with paper towels. I made the mistake of not doing that the first time & found myself fighting fat fires the next cook. But it’s really hard to argue with the flavor, speed & overall results achieved cooking a brisket directly over coals. Just wish cleanup was as easy as the cook!

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Next time just add a few more coal to the end of the cook and let it burn off slow you will have no cleanup and a great seasoned cooker lol

[@chrissadjedy8490]

He did a really good job on cooking the brisket.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Why thank you and thank you for watching.

[@thouston0]

I smoked another 20lb brisket using my Pit Barrel smoker and your technique and again it came out awesome. I slightly trim it though, it had a lot of fat on the point. I gave 5lbs to my daughter that has a catering business, she made brisket mac 'n cheese that sold out in one hour!

[@cajunphilippine]

Excellent video and you explained it very well. This Cajun hat is off for you Pitmaster.

[@bbqsouthernstyle]

Glad you liked it! Thank you and welcome!
