    Honestly, even temperatures aren’t that great at telling you when it’s ready to wrap, or done. Color, fat render, and tenderness are the things to look for. Once you get the bark the way you like it, and the fat starts rendering (if your finger sinks into the fat instead of it feeling bouncy); then it’s the best time to wrap. Once you wrap, only one thing tells you when it’s ready: tenderness. If you don’t know how to feel for the tenderness with your hands, use a probe. Stick the probe in, if it slides in and out without any resistance, it’s ready. If you’re going to be able to do a long rest (8 hours or more, where it maintains internal temps of 150°-160°), then a little bit of resistance is ok. Make sure when you probe for tenderness, that you check multiple spots, especially the flat.

    I’m so happy that I found this video 🥰 I bought TempSike today from Academy and I was thinking to smoke a brisket this weekend. I was watching several videos but I was confused which process to follow. As I have seen this video now (I watched it atleast 10 times back to back trust me on this 😊), I’m gonna follow the same process which you showed in this video. But if we are spraying beef broth every 90mins, whenever we open the smoker, the temperature would drop down right - will that be ok (just to keep an eye on meat internal temperature on TempSpike till it hits 165 and then take it out to wrap in butcher paper and then place it back in smoker till the meat internal temperature reaches to 203)? Your suggestions will be very helpful please. Can I also use cooking oil as binder and then put the rub on it as my wife doesn’t like mustard?

    Don't heat it up you'll get into issues with bacteria.. Best resting temp and to cut the brisket is when it's at 150 internal temp, don't wanna go anywhere lower and don't cut it when it's higher because all the juice will leave.

    Don't trim as much fat and when putting it in the smoker, put it fat side up so the fat runs into the meat and doesn't drip off. When you wrap it, wrap it with plastic wrap first then the butcher paper. That'll hold in the moisture also. Then let it rest for a couple hours in an insulated cooler.

    No not more rest time. Don't cook to temp. That's why your overcooking it. Don't wrap during stall. Wrap when fat is sticky and rendered and use talow when wrapping.. Usually after stall is good time to wrap. Start probing the meat around 190 to see how much resistance there is.. Once it's probing like butter your done.. Can be at 190 or can be at 205.. Also learn the hot sports in your smoker and put the fatty sides near it. Keeps drying out wrap little foil around the parts drying out. Don't cut into it at a high temp your liquids will leave making it dry.. Cut. Into it at 150 internal. Resting at that temp for long time also is key.. If your oven goes down that low

    225 on the smoker is too high. 205 is perfect temp. I’ve been smoking briskets for 25 years and I’ve never wrapped a brisket. The secret is to leave a really good fat cap on the meat from the start. The rendered fat will tenderize the meat as it slow cooks.
