BBQ with Franklin: The Payoff

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. Great tips!!

    I just smoked a whole brisket today and it looked just like this one. It was fantastic. Thanks to Franklin BBQ for giving me the info on how to trim and cook it. I used a Pellet Smoker at 250. I wrapped it in foil at 180F and took it off to rest 2hrs at 208F. It was amazing.

    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

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!

    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.

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.
