My fire management video: • How to Manage Your Smo... - Jak na to + styl
About a month ago, after searching how to cook my first brisket, I landed on your page, followed it to the T, and smoked it on my Kamado Big Joe III. The brisket came out incredible, even my 16-year-old daughter that likes nothing loved it. I Hope my second brisket this weekend is going to be as good as the first. But I will look at this video again and again. Thank you for your detailed video.
@@miken7750 report that kind of stuff, it's actually just spam
+++
It's been a year but... how'd the second, or more now, brisket come out?
Has anybody tried fajita seasoning for dry rub???
what temperature did you cook it at
Finally someone in BBQ who not only understands chemistry, but explains it simply!
I successfully smoked my first brisket yesterday. Now I know how Alexander the Great felt when, "he wept because there were no more worlds left to conquer"
Awesome George! I did my first brisket in a regular round pit, it came out beautifully. What did you use? Your right about no worlds to conquer now! LOL!
I know the feeling! Maybe try tritip next?
Congratulations George. You are braver than I.
@@stephenveerasammy3074 if he can make brisket tri tip should be a mature cook for him now lol
When taking it out the oven should I leave the aluminum foil on and leave it on top of the stove when resting or what should I do??
Dear Mad Scientist, I've been watching all your videos. This video I watched maybe a dozen times already. Out of all the CZcams tutorials on smoking brisket yours were the ones I kept coming back to. You explain everything in great detail and that really helps me as one who's never smoked anything so I'm very greatful for these videos. This past weekend I bought my parents a smoker (bc I can't have one in my apartment). I got them the Oklahoma Joe's offset smoker. Then I searched every Costco in my area for a whole brisket - a lot of them just had flats. Anyway, I finally found a brisket and got excited to start smoking it. 14 hours later and omg it came out pretty damn good for my first cook. My family was impressed and I couldn't have done it without your videos. So I just wanted to say thank you for the work you put into making these videos 😊
you keep coming back cuz he's a good looking dude i think youre gay ngl
man you bought yourself a smoker be honest ;)
I've done MANY MANY briskets before and I absolutely loved this video. My first time seeing it. His explanations are very thorough and he produced a delicious product. My profession is chemistry so this sat very well with me! No matter the skill level, keeping yourself engulfed in the fundamentals will always keep you at the top of your bbq game. Brother you have a new subscriber!
Gotta say... Best video on Brisket I've seen, I appreciate you giving us the "WHY", other videos just say "DO THIS, DO THAT" but no reason behind the method. You are teaching and that's what first timers like me NEED. Excellent video again I appreciate the lesson
I agree. I had no idea you can get separate cuts. I'm literally trying to remember what my mother-in-law got for me when I smoked my second brisket lol... Learn something new everyday! Thank you!
Agree with this comment 100%.
Ditto man, every minute is informative, loved it.
@RaiseHell Eat Cornbread Thanks, I do watch him as well, love Kosmo; I also watch Malcolm Reed... I don't compare who is better, it's the information and technique I'm after. They all have good information... take what is best for my cook.
Well said, Charles Pickett ! I too like to pick and choose techniques from various teachers here.
Bruh if my chemistry teacher had used brisket I’d probably be a scientist
I have to say with the help of this video I smoked the best brisket I’ve ever eaten this weekend! It was so amazing. Great bark, the fat rendered perfectly. It truly blew me away. Thank you so much for doing these videos! Seasoned salt garlic powder and pepper was all I used for a rub. No binder no tallow still just amazing.
Ive been smoking briskets for a long time but still enjoy hearing certain things explained and broken down the way you do. Keep up the great work.
Question,a buddy of mine cooked or smoked a brisket wth campfire wood or wood meant to be used for campfires and fireplace and chimneys.the bag also says to not cook with it.I wanted to know if the brisket was still fine to eat.
@@rperez416iw depends on what kind of wood it is. If it's oak or a similar hard wood you'll be just fine. If it's pine or any other coniferous it's going to be terrible.
Yup. It’s always good to get other cooks perspective on things.
@@rperez416iw If by "campfire wood", you're talking about a pine or other conifer (softwood), while some might say "the brisket was still fine to eat", it is FAR, FAR from as tasty as it could be if your buddy had used a hardwood, such as oak, apple, hickory or (as I use) madrone (most people do not use or have access to madrone). Soft woods, such as pine, give the meat (I hear, because I would NEVER use it) a bitter, harsh flavor. Soft woods have a lot of resin and it can leave a bad taste on the meat and a resin inside the smoker.
@@rperez416iw You seem like youre still alive.. so yeah. As long as the wood is not treated wood, like railroad ties, or treated lumber. If it came in a bag... when what? It wont tase nearly as good as it should, but in a pinch... ya gotta eat. If he just didnt care then why bother? Go get some McRib.
Typically you want to just pick a good wood like Oak, mesquite, hickory, or lump charcoal.
Hi Jeremy, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you making videos and sharing your knowledge. I have a lot of respect for you to pull down your older video as your methods have changed and are only showing the current methods being used. You're missing out on some revenue comming in by doing so and again, ton of respect. It showed your passion to teach us what you've learned. Are you by chance a teacher? Just curious.
I'm relatively knew to smoking meat and can tell you my methods have changed SO much over a year, just like you stated. Some things I use to focus on I realize aren't important and other things I never even thought about I find are extremely important. Just think of what we will be doing in five years from now.... love your in depth videos and I for one love the longer videos. I'm here to learn as much as possible so please keep on doing your thing buddy! Have a great day
I cooked my first brisket today on my new smoker. I trimmed, seasoned and cooked the brisket according to your guidelines. It turned out amazing! Thank you for posting this very helpful video.
I just made my first attempt at brisket on my homemade smoker and your video helped tremendously! Ik you said that your first attempt is unlikely to be perfect but I have to tell you I absolutely nailed this cook (trying to control my excitement lol) on my first shot thanks to you man. Your channel is great dude keep up the hard work
I want to thank you, I screwed up 3 brisket before I tried your method & this by far was the best brisket I ever made!
Greatest brisket smoking tutorial on CZcams. This guy needs way more subs than he has. Great presentation and ability to not only explain what to do, but the reasons for the method you instruct. Awesome stuff dude!
I must agree!
Great cook, and wonderful advice! I have been over-trimming my deckle and under-trimming my flat. You’re doing the BBQ community right! Thanks
Hey there Mad Scientist. I never smoked before, never prepared a brisket before, and certainly never did both at the same time. I followed your instructions and it came out PERFECT! Thanks a ton! From one channel to another, keep up the amazing tutorials! Thanks, Mad Scientist!
mate - that was awesome! you're just what I've been looking for in terms of learning more about bbq cooking. I really enjoy learning why, not just how. legend! thanks so much. I'm going to try a brisket now you've inspired me. cheers
Different strokes for different folks - I really find the detail explanation to be very very helpful..
It's cool to see this vid after already watching your newer ones and seeing how your methods and quality have changed. Can't wait make my first brisket!
Thank you so much for the *huge effort* youve put in that video by breaking down huge parts down and explaining them .
VERY APPRECIATED !!!
I worked at a BBQ restaurant for 5 years and I have smoked thousands of briskets. I have to say you do a good job 😎👍
Awesome video, I'm getting a smokers this week!! Thanks for the tips🤙
What I like the most about your videos is that you are not just saying what to do but you are also explaining why you're doing it that way.
Thank you for all the tips. I smoked my first brisket over the weekend and it was phenomenal. I've got notes for next time, as well as some more supplies i need for the next cook (namely butcher paper). I didn't quite get a bark on it but the smoke ring got to penetrate nicely. I'll be going through the rest of the catalogue
I can’t believe I just saw this video and it’s two years old! Subscribed
Brother, that was some of the best information I’ve got on the inter webs! Thank you!!
"If you have chewy bacon it's gross"
I feel personally attacked.
Learned a ton about how to do it right from your videos! Thank you and keep em coming! I made one following your tips, and seriously amazing. Night and day turn around for my cooking.
Thank you for your tips! Watched this video 3 times this week and took notes. Smoked my first brisket yesterday for my wife’s birthday and it came out amazing!
As a mover, I know many homes share the same blueprint. I can 95% say, I love the layout of yours lol
Great video. My butcher is an accomplished meat smoker and he trims my brisket for me so I don't have to worry about it.
Excellent video, worth watching the whole 40 minutes. I have watched a lot of videos on smoking brisket and yours was the most informative. Thanks for all of the great info. The pre-cook single cut tip against the grain to serve as a post cook cutting guide is simple but genius. Top shelf.
The most informative and best bbq content you can find. For lack of a better term I watch your channel religiously. I have learned everything I know from your videos.
Smoking my first briskets this weekend! Studying!
Great video you've come a long way from your first brisket. Thanks for the info
Yes, his videos have improved greatly. Both the visual quality and his experience with smoking. Good stuff.
Great video Mr. Smart .....Great ending with the wife and your response. Perfect. Keep em coming , your take on bbq is up there with the best.
I'm an engineer/amateur scientist at heart, and I am also a smoker/griller.
I felt this video REAL HARD.
Call it 'bias confirmation' or whatever, but you're speaking my language!
Hey bro i want to thank you for this. Great video. I just finished cooking my first brisket following your instructions and Wow!! I still think I'm dreaming.thank you so much.
im about to do my first this weekend. what size brisket you do and how long did you cook it before wrapping?
Perfectly cooked brisket bro. Lot's of great info as well.
Thanks for all the tips.
I just smoked my first brisket yesterday into this morning, and it turned out amazing thanks to your thorough explanations and tips. It stalled for way longer than expected and ended up taking over 20 hrs to cook, and honestly if I hadn't watched this I would have pulled it too soon to wrap it but I left it and waited for all the criteria to be met before wrapping, and I'm so thankful I did! Thankyou sooo much, it really impressed my wifes family and I felt like a pro!
Mines stalling currently but I'm waiting for that fat layer to clarify before wrapping. I'm just praying it's not over cooking.

That is very distinct smoke ring. Nice brisket and video. Hard to beat the heavenly combination of salt/pepper rub, rendered fat and smoked meat.
Amen to that
"I won't have time to watch a 40 min video on smoking a brisket right now"
Got anything better to do these days? ;) Stay healthy, stay save.
That’s exactly what I thought, but he really packs each minute with a lot of useful info. Despite the length he doesn’t have many wasted moments, which is my biggest pet peeve of a lot of other BBQ tutorial videos.
Don't forget you can watch at 1.5, 1.75 and 2.0 speeds.
very informative, I'm thoroughly impressed
Props to you for making this video. I did everything exactly like you mentioned from start to the 3 different ways of cutting a full brisket up. 2 times smoking on my new Oklahoma Joe's Smoker and it was the greatest piece of meat I've ever tasted. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent presentation chock-full of great advice. Thanks for the thorough, detailed, clear and entertaining video. That's a gorgeous brisket, mate.
Thanks 👍
@@MadScientistBBQ,
How do you feel about people causing the unnecessary suffering of animals?
Ryan Welsch is this a real question
@@MadScientistBBQ, Yes.
@@ryanwelsch9384 Don't eat
Dude, you rock! This was a very detailed video, every minute of it was packed with useful information. It actually seemed shorter than 39:45, because I learned so much. Thank you!
Thanks for taking the time to explain the reasoning behind doing what you are doing. Dont listen to the negative nobodies, "keep on keeping on"
Thanks!
Thank you for the attention to detail I have not seen in other videos. I smoked my first brisket a few months ago and got good results. I think this video will help me do much better with my next cook.
I stoped the video to say that your way of explaining simply a Divine gift. Best video on Brisket with every possible detail. Well done bro!
Agreed! Even got a little science lesson in there when talking about why he salts first and what causes the smoke ring!
I’m ready to start working on my Dad skills and being a master of the grill and smoker! Great videos
Awesome comment my bbq comrade 🤟
Great teaching video! I love your style with all the explanations ! It’s easier to remember how when you know the whys! Thanks!
Mad skills! Looks absolutely delicious in the end!
Wow, I have cooked a ton of briskets in my day and have had a lot of training, working in the restaurant industry and even mentored by some incredible people in the bbq world, I have to say you did an awesome job on this video. I so badly wish that more people could do this good of a job at producing content for the world to see, keep it up, thanks for your work!
Excellent video Jeremy! I have really learned a lot! You are the professor and I will go back to this video for reference! Nice!
Thanks man, I appreciate it.
That looks SO freaking good man... that black on the outside is my favorite part!
Bark
Out of all the videos on the internet / youtube, this is guy is the best! Thank you!
Thank you for that excellent information old chap. Its hard enough to obtain information on where to get the right cut of meat in the UK never mind how to prepare and cook it! When one lives in the BBQ/Smoking wilderness that is currently the UK, then you would understand better what I mean. Each and every one of these I've watched has added to my scant knowledge. Most informative and more importantly helpful. Thank you sir.
Hey I am very glad to help. I was just in the UK and I have to confess there isn't much BBQ to be found there. There is lots of delicious indian food though, YUMMMMM.
Well I hope you enjoyed both the visit and the Indian/Pakistani food. Just getting hold of a decent offset smoker here was difficult enough but then trying to get the accessories, even something as simple as an oven thermometer clip, you start to realise this is a food challenge that will test even the most hardy! I'm becoming quite handy at DIY BBQ parts because nobody even knows what I'm talking about when it comes to a charcoal basket or tuning plates! Anyway I'm learning and the videos are of great help. Take care buddy.
Best brisket video explanation I’ve ever seen, off to buy a new smoker! Will def be using all your tips and tricks 100%!!
I been into cooking my entire life and just started bbqing past 8 months. I love what you are saying about the fire! It is so fun to stand outside looking over a fire all day. Can’t beat it.
I really appreciate your knowledge and the effort you put into your videos. You are an excellent teacher. Thank you !
Awesome Channel! This guy knows his stuff! Glad I found your channel!
Man, I watch a lot of these videos, and I tend to be (overly) critical, but you gave me no chance in this installment. Nicely done!
Side note: You have to be an Alton Brown fan. I dig the science behind your explanation.
Totally used this method and oh boy did I love the results... Was so dang amazing... Thank u...
Thank you for the great videos. Just recently bought a Weber summit Kamado and your videos and advice helped me nail a brisket and Turkey for Thanksgiving. Was definitely helped with a BBQguru, but based my methods on your videos. Great teacher and even better, great backyard BBQ.
Thanks. Made my first brisket and spare ribs with your instructions. It came out great .
Holy crap! Negative comments that you talk too much? Keep talking dude, I just learned a lot.
Lol it’s a 40 minute video, what did they think was gonna happen?
Right. I learned a ton. If you don't want to hear it fast forward or go somewhere else.
I appreciate the explanations.
Sorry but he does digress too much. I just wanted to watch a video on how to cook brisket, not a tutorial on everything brisket. Maybe i feel this way because I have cooked brisket before & was just wanting some tips on improving my technique.
I don't think there's an issue with too much talking. The real issue is that he stops everything he's doing to talk to you. We can watch and listen at the same time...
Love these videos can’t wait to try it for my self.
I enjoy the scientific info you provide. Thanks much!
Best brisket video I’ve seen. You’ve touched on every pro tip that really matters and usually requires digging through hours of content from multiple sources. The suggestion on salt is especially good, a real game changer. I apply that to steaks as well.
Brett Oetting
Thanks!
I did my first brisket for Easter. I used a charcoal grill and It turned out perfectly thanks to yours and the dawg father’s tips here on CZcams! Everyone loved it! My Dad even said it as “excellent” which is saying a lot since he’s a professional and a harsh critic!
Looks Amazing!
Great Job!
Many years ago when I lived in Houston, our house had a huge brick grill/smoker in the back yard. I made one brisket. I asked everyone I knew how to do it and they all said, just, I don't know, cook it. So I bought a relatively small brisket and, because it was more beef than a gathering of 8 or 10 people would eat, I cut it in half. I'm sure I had a tasty rub (I am a decent to good cook). Also, I did know it had to cook indirectly so at least I didn't put it on right over the fire. It shrank. It was the smallest brisket you've ever seen. It did taste good.
Too bad we didn't have internet in those days. It would have been helpful. I have now been inspired. Might even try another brisket one day.
White smoke is the moisture in the wood, wood doesn't actually burn, the parts of it does. Pyrolysis- decomposition of a substance by heat
lol
Steve Legge say what now?
Yup you get it. The smoke flavor is based on air in and chimney setting. Get white or light colored smoke doing well. Dark smoke open chimney let some out. Running chimney full open not always the best since smoke doessnt get to linger in box with meat
Guys, his channel is called Mad Scientist BBQ.
He is breaking down everything on a "SCIENTIFIC" level.
It's not boring, it's entertaining and informative.
If too long for you, go look for a video of someone just smoking a brisket.
This is in no way scientific - there literally was no method, just loquacious over explanation of his opinions on cooking brisket
He's a younger version of Meathead Goldwynn of amazingribs.com
Well said.
Loquacious? Nonsense! This guy is as clear a communicator as you can hope for! And you would be fortunate if you could find a teacher like him. To the point, interesting, and generous. Bravo!!!!
@@rarelylucid4488 He explains the chemical processes of salting, smoking, and retaining juices. I found it informative.
I just ate some smoked short ribs on my lunch break while watching this video. I could still eat that entire brisket when I was done, awesome video!
Probably one of the most informative videos on how to properly do a brisket!! Great job!!
Been cooking with my offset for a few years now. Done more cooks than I can count, but I've never done a brisket. Doing my first one this weekend. Wish me luck
Good luck mate, I'm cooking one now 😋
Great video, it was extremely informative. I always caution people who are just starting out about brisket because it’s such a time investment and if it doesn’t come out the way you think it should it can be so disappointing. I think this will be the video I recommend they check out now before they cook that first brisket. Keep up the great content.
Thanks man! I appreciate the support.
Amazing video. Really detailed. Will definately check out your other vids. Thanks for sharing.
On my 5th smoked brisket and constantly coming back to this vid for your tips! Thank you sir!!
Looks so good. I'm going to be cooking a brisket for Christmas, not traditional I know but I'm in Texas and this is my first brisket so I'm following your instructions here. Which btw are very detailed and looks amazing. I'm excited to see how mine turns out.
I'm actually doing my first packer brisket for Christmas too. I'm starting early. I'm smoking it the day before Christmas to make sure that there's not a time crunch.
@@sara-5485 me too. Good luck to us both. I'm so excited I love to bbq so this is going to be a good experience for sure.
@@saras5582
Definitely! Good luck to you as well. Would love to hear how yours come out. I think I've might of accidentally trimmed a bit too much fat off. 😔
But there's always next time to learn too.
@@sara-5485 mine had a lot more fat then I thought. But all in all turned out rather well for my first attempt. How did yours do?
@@saras5582
I think it came out decent. I didn't get as much bark as I'd like. But I'm literally about to pull mine out of the smoker as we speak. Gonna put it into some foil and towels and it will sit in the cooler.
I think it's been almost 16hrs of cooking.
Subbed, going to do yet another brisket this weekend, thanks for the inspiration :)
I'm putting my very first brisket on in the morning. I recently bought a Masterbuilt 1050. The best smoker/grill investment ever. I bought a dry-aged brisket today from the butcher's shop. I can't wait to see how this turns out. Thanks for the tips!
Good explanation bro 🙏 Best video ever seen on CZcams.. God bless your heart ♥ to continue to share your knowledge to the 💪 world..watch here in my beautiful country vanuatu in South Pacific Ocean happiness is our signature.. Peace!!!
26:08 "a treasure at the end of the rainbow" XD
This video is gold!
I love brisket but didn't know how to cook it. Thank you for this informative step-by-step guide!
I couldn’t help but think, “I hope the camerawoman is getting some of that”, while you were choppin away! 😂
Probably his wife, so yes…
i just watched the whole thing without realising 40 minutes went by lol, good job! :D
Excellent content ! ❤ Keep it up!
Great delivery, very informative.
"If you have chewy bacon it's gross"
I feel personally attacked.
Right, I like my bacon to taste like meat
Lol I said the exact same thing!!!
I had no idea how it would turn out when you first started but by the end my mouth was watering, I need a smoker in my life. Great vid!
Me too
You good
Me to
Great education for a new BBQer!!! LOVE brisket and the bark is a big deal to me. This is terrific. I learned a lot. I'd recommend this video highly for people new to barbecuing. There is a lot to know to do it right and you learn it all here!!! Moist, tender and full of flavour - everything we all want that is crucial!!!
Hello Christine, how are you doing today; how’s everything going over there, I hope it was a lovely day for you Christine?
Great video! You had my mouth watering. I have to try trimming and cooking this way!
Thank you!
I came here for the scientific explanation of the salt process.
Was not dissapointed.
You have a new sub ;)
Can't argue with that finished product!
This is beautiful. Artistic
Followed the directions on this video. My 1st brisket came out perfect! Thanks for the help!
I'm drooling watching this shit, I'm HANGRY.
