  • Your brisket is trimmed, seasoned and the fire is ready to go. Now what? Pull up a chair and let Professor Franklin take you to class and learn about fire management, optimal cooking temperature, wrapping, and why you should beware of the stall.

( A meat Smoking Manifesto). Without it I would have never known about putting a pan of water in the smoker! And the way you explain the stall ( with charts and science!) should be required course work for any novice smoker! I love how you say in the spot for the Master Class that you ruined your first brisket. Because of you I didn't! I "gift" 2 briskets at christmas time now because they've become so popular with my friends and coworkers! ( gads i am an idiot!! ) Anyhow, Thanks. - - - - jws in greater milwaukee.

    Love this video series ! I've learned so much from them .. and they've inspired me to make two briskets so far. They've been good, not great, but good. First was under-seasoned and inconsistent temperature. Second was overdone, more consistent (but higher) temperature. Both were mostly moist and juicy, but I'm really looking to do better. I'm cooking on the cheapest Home Depot offset smoker I could afford (when I bought it), so I'm sure that factors in. Next week we're getting a better quality smoker .. and I'm sticking to brisket. Wish me luck !

    That's a tough question to answer. They all have their advantages and disadvantages of course and it depends on cooking conditions (outside temp, smoke wood, etc..) and how you prep the meat. I love cooking on all my cookers and really believe you can crank out really great Q' no matter what you're cooking on if you know what you're doing :)

  • @drewga403
    @drewga403 Před 5 lety +1

    Hey Franklin - love the video! I just watched your brisket prep video, and love the way you take time (in that video and even more in this one) to really explain what's going on and WHY you make the choices you make. Very helpful!
    But I have a question for you. Now i understand this may seem like bbq heresy, but here's where I'm at. I'm admittedly an amateur bbq-er, and enjoy an afternoon in the back yard grilling with friends every now and then. But would rarely ever have the time to spend 12 hours smoking a brisket. But you said you figure about an hour and 15 minutes per pound of brisket for cook time...
    So, I wanted to ask you... If i cut it up into smaller pieces first (about 2 to 3 pound chunks each) - allowing the smoke and heat to penetrate the meat easier - will it cook faster WITHOUT completely destroying the meat? Maybe closer to a 3 hour range? Imagine I would have to keep a water pan in the smoker and spritz often to keep it from drying out, but if I do, shouldn't this work??
    Have you ever experimented with this? Love to hear your thoughts and experience. Thanks!

If this man tells it, you can bank on it. He really knows whats up. Thanks Aaron. I love ya brotha. Smoke on !

    @RedondoBeach2 Před 5 lety

    You taught me something new. I did not know about "the stall" prior to this video. I'm interested in understanding it better. I'm guessing length of the stall depends on the the weight of the brisket and cooking temperature? If that's the case, hypothetically, let's say I'm smoking a 15 lb brisket at 250 degrees with a water pan in the smoker. Roughly how long would you estimate the stall to take? What if the same brisket is cooking at 275 degrees?

  • @hugotendam5349
    @hugotendam5349 Před 3 lety

    I have a question though. He says to keep the temp really steady. I allow it to come up and fluctuate between 10 degrees centigrade, because it will never stay steady all the time. I like playing with the airflow. I always am afraid that if it stays to long at a certain temp, it doesn't have enough air and will drop soon. Most of the times I am right, with my weber kettle about this.
