  • Aaron Franklin explains the telltale characteristics of a finished brisket, when and why you'd wrap your brisket, how long to let it rest and how to slice your masterpiece. And if you're one of those who like the sauce, learn a basic Texas sauce to serve alongside your meat.

      Even in the USA this style of BBQ is not available most places. Its very unique to Texas and the states surrounding it. I had a chance to visit Texas a couple years back and tried some great BBQ. It was easily the best meat I've had in my life. When I got back home, I tried every single BBQ place within 50 miles of my house and you just can't get anything like this. I got the $1k smoker and have been practicing making briskets and watching these guys on youtube to get their secrets.
      Even though I've only done a handful of them, they are already better meat than you can get at any restaurant in town. And now I get to help share this wonderful food with other people who, like me, had never been to Texas to try the real thing.

There's nothing like watching the smokebox all night with crappy Texas beer. England and their ales are the best. One thing I can say about other regions is that there is something for everyone. I love the whole hog in Georgia and West Virginia, the awesome chicken, and white sauce in Kentucky and California? Well... they have a lot of avocados there I hear. I'm partial to Texas barbecue because that's what I grew up on. That said, there is plenty of other fine offerings all around and all are worth trying.

    I've cooked many a briskets but I followed your tips and on TWO briskets for my Christmas dinner and they BOTH turned out to be THE BEST that I've ever produced. I usally over cook mine and the end results are the usual for over cooked brisket.
    I watched a video of you slicing one of yours at your restaurant and the one in this video and I noticed how it had a "jello" like jiggly look to it. I was like "that can't be done". But I know now, jiggly, in this case, means perfection.

    One thing that he left out that is really important, especially for first timers. The internal temp needs to be around 195 - 205. This is when the fat renders down. I keep a probe in mine, and when it hits 190, I start checking for tenderness.

      YES!!!! Thank goodness someone spoke about internal temp. I will pull my wrapped brisket around 195 and put it in an empty cooler to rest for 2 hours before slicing. Excellent results every time. Also, generally speaking...4 hours of oak and mesquite smoke is enough for this big cut of beef.

      Some folks in Georgia and the Carolinas only know about BBQ pig. The idea of BBQ beef to them is beyond their comprehension. To them, it isn't BBQ unless it is soaked in some kind of sweet or mustard sauce which completely masks the kerosene taste of their meat.

I ran out to HEB at 730am and had the thing on the smoker by 9am (ok, I don't have a smoker, I used a gas grill converted into a smoker using tin foil to cover up the holes, lol). My brisket came out awesome. Thanks for the advice! My family loved it.

  • @jimworley1718

    I am a novice, watched a ton of videos and by far these few videos from trimming to the payoff were the most informative, I watched the video on Boston butts for my first cook, came out so well that some people I fed thought I was a professional. it was my first time with a smoker. Now my second time, my biggest concern is I will trim this 12# brisket to the size of a 6 oz. filet, but going to try and follow your instructions. Thanks so much for your videos. Sometime you might do something about wood and meats, which woods with which meats, mixing fruit woods with hickory and or pecan on briskets and Boston butts, I think that could help the novice like myself. Again, thanks for the information, I'm off to the smoker.

    • @dirtrider88

    thanks for the videos, back about 1973-75, I was fortunate enough to live in San Antonio and got to eat at a small BBQ place that served the brisket ever. I loved the simple bread and brisket sandwich that they served (no sauce) and the flavor was just awesome. What you do replicates that brisket and the memories of awesome brisket. Thanks for the advice and the "this is how you (I) do it" on all of it from wood to finished product. Now I have to go buy a brisket and give it a whirl on my smoker. I go to a lot of places and get the brisket and am disappointed most of the time because I expect Texas style flavors and tenderness. keep it up

    I live in a loft. Don’t have a wood smoker. But I used my dads water smoker this weekend while still follow Aaron Franklins principles of temperature control, trimming, seasoning, spraying every hour or so, and monitoring and controlling the smoke. It was my first time ever doing a smoked brisket. Did it for twelve hours, and while I recognize things I didn’t wrong (I didn’t trim quite as well because I didn’t trim a part as much that he doesn’t trim as much, but he doesn’t because of how his smoker directs heat), but the finished product was still delicious. Cooked for a family dinner party of ten, and they were raving about how tender it was. If you don’t have the same equipment he has, don’t get discouraged; simply adapt and listen to what he says, because the pay off is absolutely worth it.

So much that you really can't even tell WTF kind of cut of meat it is. I will try the salt and pepper only on my 1st brisket. It's sad I was given a huge smoker that I only cook ribs, sausage, beer butt chicken, fajitas, bacon wrapped duck etc.. I have not yet had the courage to smoke a brisket 2 years of owning this massive smoker. You just helped me with the fear. Thank you!

    If your French Fries call for ketchup, you didn't fry them correctly.
    If your pasta calls for sauce, you didn't boil it correctly.
    If your peanut butter bread calls for jelly, you didn't spread it correctly.
    If your BBQ calls for sauce, you didn't smoke it correctly.
    We could keep making up phrases and saying them with confidence. Or, some folks need to learn -how- to make and apply BBQ sauce correctly.

It was the very first thing smoked on my buddies brand new 100 dollar peice of crap smoker. There was smoke.coming out EVERYWHERE. I had the chimney completely closed the entire time. At one point we got as high as 320 and as low as 140. I got it to hang around 225 for a good amount and took it off and let it rest for an hour when it hit 196. I got no bark to speak of but it tasted great. I am going to try it on my WSM next. I know I can keep a solid 225 or 250 on that thing for about 12 hours straight.
