Love the channel! For the backyard cooks like me… ive been using a 22qt turkey roaster oven! It’s the best hack and minimal spend ($60) that has elevated my bbq. Same concept, cook my brisket a day before (stress free) put in the warmer overnight at 150* setting and slice whenever my guests are over the next day. I’ve been able to stack two briskets the night before and they always turn out amazing!

Nothing but quality. I don't understand how so many in the camp of "warmers don't do crap" can be so adamant! I'm not saying you can't make a damn good brisket without a good long hold. I'm not saying I haven't made some damn good bbq without the long hold. But 100% agree bro, my bbq jumped to the next level the very first time I integrated a long hot hold. I haven't gone back since. The convenience it creates, the stress it eliminates.

150 is “the” temp these cabinets have a way to hold temps very well but along the way you will get a 2 to 3 degree swing so by setting at 150, even with the swing and in case the swing is off from time to time you have a pad from 140. It’s what we ran at the bbq restaurant I worked at and it’s very well known

I wanted to thank you for not dissing the Oklahoma Joe smokers… I’ve had one for several years, and it make’s fantastic BBQ. Is it harder to keep a good fire, yes… Does it make you a better pitmaster, yes. Like you said, if you can cook a good brisket on one of those, a 500 will be a cakewalk 👊🏻. While I don’t have a warmer, I have held in the oven… I couldn’t agree more… Holding takes all that work, to the next level 💯🔥🔥 Thanks again, for instilling the “don’t over think it” mentality… particularly with temperature… It took me 10 years to figure out that “it ain’t done, till it’s done” BBQ is never the same, twice.

One thing that you didn’t mention is that the quality of beef(brisket) that Franklins and other popular Texas restaurants are using is better than what most of us are using. Not that you can’t make an amazing brisket from Sam’s Club or Costco but it ain’t competing with a Creekstone Farms prime brisket $$$. Great video my fellow bbq brother.

@@2005Pilot I'm sorry that I wasn't clear. I had the brisket on the pellet smoker overnight at 200 degrees absorbing smoke and slowly rising in temperature. . When the brisket reached an internal temperature of 160 I wrapped it in foil, raised the temperature of the pellet grill to 220 degrees and when the brisket temp hit 190 I changed the grill temp setting to 190. I held the brisket in the grill at 190 for two hours, it did continue to increase in temperature, and then transferred it, still in foil to the Vevor set at 140 degrees. The internal temperature of the brisket fell back to 140 over a period of three hours and it remained there till I pulled it at suppertime some 4 hours later.

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

Now that’s what I’m talking about!!

[@LeviathanPits]

100% agree, it's almost a necessity when low n' slowing larger items (unless you like starting the pit up at 4am). I've been toying with the idea of getting a cheap electric smoker purely for hot-holding at home (and to save the whole house smelling like bbq for days when holding in the oven). If you're up for some experimentation it would be good to know whether hot holding also benefits lower grade/leaner beef, or other items like pork shoulders. There's some debate over here in the UK as nearly all of our beef is of the lean grass fed variety. There's two camps: hot holding + low and slow (225-250F) is great, don't change what isn't broken, vs no hot hold + a hotter cook (275-325F) due to the lack of intramuscular fat. The theory with the hotter cook is to reduce evaporative water weight loss to make up for the lack of fat content/perceived juiciness from well marbled meat.

[@maxjorgensen7986]

I like this! I've been considering grabbing a cheap electric cabinet smoker as well. Great ideas! I've seen some interesting results in a similar experiment of my own when I pull leaner cuts and place them in the long hold at a higher vs lower internal temp. By resting it on the "counter" down to 170° f (76° ish C) and then placing it in the warmer I found can help tenderize a bit more, as it just gently falls down to that 150° f (65° C) holding temp over a longer time. I like the "equation" Tenderness=Time over Temperature. 🤙🤙

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

I couldn’t agree more bro! I’ve heard of folks using the electric models to achieve the same thing. I think it’s a genius idea if you already have one of those units. I’d love to run some experiments for sure. I keep a list of ideas in my phone that I add to so I don’t forget haha.

That's amazing. And what a score for $650. I often have this thought that any bbq I make tastes better the next day. Unsure whether this is something to do with the stress of managing pit temps, food temps and just ensuring things run smoothly. By having a warmer, that stress would be yesterday's problem and I could enjoy the food as it's intended. We all know what reheating bbq'd food in a microwave makes it. A no brainer if I were to cook for more than 20 people on regular basis.

Yea man I’ve seen a difference for sure. A good rule of thumb is the early you pull your brisket off the pit the earlier you’ll put in the warmer allowing it to carry over. Vs the longer you leave it and finish it closer to “Done” the longer you let it rest prior to putting in the warmer

Agreed bro! I’m not 100% certain mostly bc they vary in size so much. I’ve heard of folks squeezing 4+ briskets in the large dual door warmer I linked.

[@hulkhuggett]

I honestly think holding in the fridge does the same thing. Brisket is such a big piece of meat it soaks on its flavor like a marinade. There are a lot of dishes that taste better the next day because all the flavors marinate together. Thats what I think goes on with the hold on a large piece of meat. But it can be mega tender without the hold.

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

Hey bro thanks for dropping in and sharing your thoughts. I’ve used the drive before as well with decent results. However there is a definite drop in quality with brisket that is reheated. The flavor still remains intact, but in my opinion it doesn’t 100% restore itself to the same quality slice that would have been. However it’s pretty marginal and 99.9% of folks I serve can’t taste the difference so it’s certainly a good option.

[@hulkhuggett]

@@MeatNGreetBBQ Yeah, I agree it can change the bark a little going from fridge to oven. But, if you only reheat to 140° it's pretty close. I'm just a backyard cook for family and friends tho. So, I definitely wouldn't recommend the fridge method for catering or restaurants. I've held my briskets overnight in my makeshift warmers (cooler, turkey roaster, oven) and if I hold too long it makes it mushy. A lot of times it's late and I want to go to sleep so I slam it in the fridge. If I'm just feeding my family, I slice the whole thing and then bag in gallon bags. 1 for lean, 1 for moist. We usually microwave what we want the next day and it's amazing, tender and super juicy. Also, I quit pouring the aju into the bags. It doesn't help and it makes it harder to get out of the bags. I can't justify (to my wife) a commercial warmer for weekend cooks.

10:33 that’s the Vevor I was telling you in the other video comments. That’s the one I’m getting in two weeks 😬

[@johnnybaker9427]

Yah it's funny I just added that unit to my wish list a few weeks ago 😊

[@jrhutchss]

As a bald Man, I have hair envy...good vid. I have an electric smoker that I use to hot hold and it is a game changer

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

Haha thanks brother. One day I might have to film with the mane down 👀👀 Yep, heard of many folks in the comments using electric smokers. That’s such a good idea for folks who already have an electric unit, might as well dial it low and hold some meat. Thanks for support the channel 👊

[@jordanbabcock9349]

Get yourself a stick burning offset and that hair will grow right back! JK man, peace!!

[@Isovapor]

Great advice as always brother! Cheers!

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

Appreciate you bro thanks for the support!

[@dariusmurry3190]

Great content my man as always!! What is the longest you have held ribs in the warmer?

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

@@dariusmurry3190 thanks brother! I think the longest was around 12 hours. And they were spares

[@LennyJankins]

BDBB for sure, great vid

[@gerardoavalos2907]

Has anybody ever used the COZO brand warmer proofer?

[@joshuaaviv1527]

Love the video! Would love to get your thoughts on the CHUDS method of holding with a convection oven. I PUT LINK BELOW. To the oven.

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

Thanks for the support brother!! I think any apparatus that allows you to hold sub 170 degrees is a win! 🍻

[@travisdosch1921]

What if I were to do the same concept with a sous vide instead of the warmer? Same outcome?

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

I’ve never tried it boss. But now you gotta give it a go and let us know 😅

[@voltvolt-t6g]

Best dressed indeed!!! Did you say Canadian tuxedo? Lol!

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

Yessirrr haha

[@coreylawson332]

We backkkkkk!!! Ready for that brisket vid. Cook two do a warmer hold vs no hold test for the haters 😂 Also $650 was a steal!!!!! Especially for the capacity it holds man damn. I think I'm gonna go ahead and pull the trigger on one of the smaller ones. I've been using a cabinet style pellet grill that goes down to 160 to hold, which works but limited space and doesn't leave me any room at all adjust temp or humidity.

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

We backkkk baby!! I needs that brisket vid to break the internet bc I’m gonna put my soul into that bad boy! Got new camera gear, lights, MacBook, editing software, mics… the whole 9!! 😂 I’m def gonna do a vid where I compare the two but it’ll require me to cook 2 days in a row for the best quality comparison. Yes I’ve seen a lot of comments with folks saying they use pellet smokers to hold me which is super cool. But to your point, might not be able to drop into those 140s. Drop in and let me know if you end up snagging one, curious how it compares to the pellet.

[@outdoorstactical7038]

Looks good

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

Love this bad boy!

Awesome video

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

Thanks bro!

[@zebulon303303]

Would you recommend holding it in the oven on 145 degrees with a pan of water beside it if we don’t have a warmer?

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

100% can hold in an over at 145 and it will work just the same. I wouldn’t put too much water as over have a way of retaining moisture pretty well naturally. I would add maybe a small bowl of water and set it as close to the bottom of the over as possible. Like with your grate set at the lowest notch. And you’ll be good. Monitor how fast your oven evaporates the water and that’ll help you know how much water to add in the future.

[@jordanbabcock9349]

Reading the description on the "residential" Vevor warmer.. did you mean to say it holds 4 full pans instead of 4 sheet trays? The link shows me 4 full pans.. which is equivalent to 2 sheet trays volume but wouldn't fit the length.

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

I could have misspoke. I would go off what the description says. 👍

[@manfredneumann938]

I would imagine my pork ribs would also benefit from a heated moist rest ? Assuming they weren't overcooked to begin with.

[@xboysfunfab473]

Question for you my friend. I'm going to use my oven as a warmer at the 145 range. Would you put a pan of water in there with it while it rests? If so, do I continue to add water as needed?

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

Nice! Can’t beat an oven adjusted down to holding temps! I’d throw a small water pan in there if you want. It’s easy to go over board so I’d say just give it some moisture in a pan right before you call it a night, then top it off in the morning if you want.

[@xboysfunfab473]

Awesome. Thx for the advice.@@MeatNGreetBBQ

[@candicecobarrubias490]

Question. Do you only use a food warmer for brisket. Can I put ribs in there too?

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

Great question. I’ve held spare ribs in a warmer for 6-8 hours with great results. I wouldn’t suggest poultry (for too long) as it doesn’t hold moisture as well as the fatty cuts of meet but it is certainly possible to hold most meats. Just depends on serving times.

[@candicecobarrubias490]

@@MeatNGreetBBQ thank you. It’s more to hold them there so they stay warm before I serve them so maybe an hour at most…

[@daherfamily7163]

I like channel bro Good stuff you’re doing here! And them boots are 🔥

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

Thanks brother I appreciate the support!! Haha had to pull those bad boys out 🔥🙏

[@Spectre_N7]

What did you use prior to this warmer? You mentioned cooler, did you do oven? Turkey roaster?

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

All of the above. Mostly landed in renting a warmer every time I needed one. But if I didn’t rent I defaulted to a cool and just held my meat for less time.

[@Redzbbq21]

Does the model linked in the description have the capabilities to add humidity, like you spoke about yours doing with the small water pan in the video?

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

Hey brother, the product description says it comes with a water pan so I’d say you’re good to go.

[@Redzbbq21]

I did notice that too, but then I went through the pictures and noticed it said something about being a steam collector so I was just checking, thanks for the reply!

[@punjab1captain]

How long can you hold ribs in the warmer?

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

Hey man! I’ve held ribs for 12+ hours. Spares specifically. Never held baby backs but plan on testing it out. I wouldn’t advise, holding them that long, but I have in the past with no issues.

[@punjab1captain]

@@MeatNGreetBBQim so confused so we can put st louis spare ribs in warmer?

[@punjab1captain]

For 12+ hours?

[@eligomez7667]

I'm actually exited to try out my Hatco flav-r-savor. I picked it up at a great price too. Would it help to hold a pork butt? They are already pretty juicy

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

For sure give it a go!! You’ll never be the same after haha. I suppose you could hold pork butt. I’ve never done it so I’m not confident in exactly how long pork butt holds. If you do it def come back and let us know haha.

[@DerbyBandit]

Hell yeah! New video!! 🙌

What model is that holding cabinet?

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

I’m not 100% certain honestly I can’t remember. It’s an older model for sure I can find the model number the next time I bbq just don’t let me forget.

[@IzzyEatz]

Do you hold pork butt or whole chickens as well? Make several videos on this. The head chef I did bbq consulting for did a hold method on butts and brisket.. I never got much feedback on the hold process from him I need to learn more about this.

[@MeatNGreetBBQ]

I’ve never tried either. Honestly bc pork is very forgiving and butts i normally pull right before service so I can just throw them in the fridge and warm them up prior to service. Chicken I don’t feel would hold too well, mostly bc of how lean it is, but then again I could be wrong. I only have experience holding ribs and brisket

[@IzzyEatz]

@@MeatNGreetBBQ I was thinking same thing… just curious if you experimented with this

[@hojobbq]

Hit me up if you need some stickers for that warmer - I have a ton of BBQ stickers that are accumulating on my desk
