I used this to learn to make brisket. I have now made three that were not fatal to the people that ate them. The fourth may very well have been the cure for cancer. Can’t really say since I didn’t have cancer before I ate it. It was good enough that I essentially became gollum and it was my precious. So long story short… Thanks… great video.

Nice overview. A few things you may find useful: 1. Instead of putting your brisket in the fridge and then reheat it, just rest an hold it the whole time. After say 2 hrs of resting, just put it in your oven at lowest temp usually around 160-170 but 150 if you have it, and leave it until time to eat. It will taste better than completely cooling it off and reheating. 2. Smoke your meat until 180, then wrap it in foil. When you take it out to rest, remove foil completely and wrap it in butcher’s paper for a long rest. The longer pre wrap cook plus the rest in paper will get you close to ideal bark while the foil wrap will get that ideal tender. Just something to try.....there are million ways to cook these things. I appreciate the fact you oven cook after wrapping. Saves fuel and gets you out of bad weather. Anyway, keep up the good work

loved it! Wish I could do one and finish it up like the one in your video. I'm 82 and I'm going to try it. Subscribed!!👍👍👍
Thank you for this video and info- been following it since my 2nd or 3rd brisket on the exact same smoker, and they have all come out excellent! The smoke ring and the aroma is amazing...it's an explosion of flavor to say the least. MY dog would take notice and come over looking for some samples while she was still here. Definitely ready to graduate to a normal full sized brisket from the 4 pounders that are sold in the grocery store.
Tried your procedure and had a great success, Thanks!!! Smoked for 6 hours to 180ish then wrapped in butcher paper with the taloe then cheated by putting in the fridge over night. Back In the oven around 7:30 AM @ 300 and cooked to 203 took it out of the oven @3:30 and let it rest till 5:30-6:00. Had the family gather around to witness a perfect looking brisket that tasted even better. I was worried about the fridge time but it worked out beautifully thanks again for the coaching.
Great video! I always watch different vids that include brisket trimming techniques because you never know when you'll run across a new method or shortcut etc. that steps up your game. One thing, and this might have already been mentioned, but instead of rendering the fat in a slow cooker, try putting it in a small foil container and place it in the cook chamber while you're smoking your brisket. It'll render the same way and the tallow takes in the smoke and increases the flavor.
Fantastic advice for preparing brisket. I followed your method last night (first time ever making a brisket) and was beyond pleased with the results! Low and slow, with a nice long rest. My BBQ-loving family members were impressed. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video. I followed this method step by step on New Year's Eve 2021. It was one of the best briskets I ever ate. So moist and tender.
Hey my friend, great job straight to the point with no fuzzy info in-between. Good job. Watched about 8 of these videos. This will be my go to video. Thx!
I use a Weber Kettle grill and charcoal stacked using the “snake method “ with hard wood chunks over the charcoal. Start before bedtime, go to bed, get up in the morning, wrap and Dutch oven , finish up in kitchen oven , with a temperature probe. I don’t loose any sleep during this process.
Dang this is my go to video for when I forget stuff. Done 5 briskets now and I always go back to this video to kinda refresh myself. Good video.

Thanks for the tips. I smoked a flat for Thanksgiving for the first time. Excellent results...thank you so much.
Great video-thank you. It was my very first time smoking the brisket.Followed your recipe and also watched 100 brisket mistakes. Definitely made some of them but after resting the meat for close to 3 hrs I was amazed how nice, well seasoned and moist my brisket was. Did it in electric smoker using hickory pucks and tried to finished on BBQ but had some issues with temp control so switched to the oven and could not be more happier. Cheers

Bravo! I adapted this recipe (just a little) for my wood fired oven that I built during covid and I gotta say, the results were stunning. Thanks for this very informative video. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Well done (not the brisket, that was tender but the tutorial! ha!)
Great advice! I've been scared to do another brisket since I messed up the first one. I have a pellet grill, and I did not smoke it fat side down, and I smoked it around 250. I will definitely tray again using your tips!
I was looking to get a WSM. Excited to see your video on it. I’ve got a 2 year old and another on the way and I’d like to be moving towards actual fire management from my electric so your videos are perfect perspective
That’s so cute that you explained how to have the family help. Sweet. Then over explain & make it seem like you’re a genius. I have to try that!

I really like your enthusiasm and videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. This may be a mistake but going to share this. Only the second time I have cooked a brisket. First one I cooked too long trying to get it more tender. This time I am trying something different. Going to flip it half way through the cook and see how it goes.
When my kid was born, I gave up smoking because I no longer had time to tend a fire all day. Earlier this year I picked up a Rectec and I’ve been using it 2-3 times per week since getting it. It saves so much time, and I can’t recommend it enough for people who don’t have the kind of time a stick burner requires. Hell, even if I had the time, I’d never go back.
Best brisket video yet! AWESOME!
I did exactly as you said. BEST brisket ever. Low and slow. Smoked my 19 pound brisket at 225° for 16 hours. Finished it off in the oven for 3 more hours till it reached 203° internal temperature. Our family loved it. There was only three slices left from the roast. I will make another for our next family event. Cheers
Awesome! Well done.....I love the BRISKET MONITORING.

Mr Smoke trails thank you for your videos. I recently did a Wagyu brisket for Christmas Eve/Christmas dinner. It was a super hit that the fam didn’t expect. Had lots of leftovers and made some KZread shorts of the creative ways to eat it. A lot of your tips were so helpful and I only have a Weber kettle. I used your foil technique to protect the part closer to the fire. Also finding out you are a Canadian is awesome. Glad to see more Canadian content creators. Thanks again and happy new year.

Great advice! I have the Smoky Joes pellet grill and have been using it wrong. I will follow these guidelines on my next brisket. Hopefully, I'll get one that is juicy and not overcooked like my last 3 or 4 briskets.
Interesting video and presentation… I enjoy watching and hearing about how others prepare their brisket. I’m happy this process works for you… I can’t say I agree with everything you presented, however, if it works, then great… I try to stay within the 225 to 250 cooking temps. I follow Aaron Franklin’s methodology and have had a lot of success over the years. All the best to you.

Love the oven Idea.
As a previous Traeger+ user, I have to say that switching to Asmoke has been a game changer for me. The precise temperature control of the Asmoke grill has taken my cooking to a new level of perfection. The flame control with dual sensors and PID algorithm is something that really sets Asmoke apart. Not to forget, the portability of the Asmoke grill is a massive plus, I can easily take it to my backyard, camping, tailgating or on road trips. And the best part? It can run up to 10 hours on a single charge! It's amazing how it infuses the food with the perfect smoky flavor, making it taste as good as it looks. And, the Asmoke app is a life saver, it’s so easy to monitor the temperature and share recipes. Highly recommend it to all BBQ enthusiasts! #Asmoke
Look’s Definitely Delicious. 😊can’t wait to make it!

Having used Qstoves for a while, I recently made the switch to Asmoke. The difference is like night and day! The automatic temperature control on the Asmoke grill makes cooking so much easier and consistent. I love the fact that the Asmoke grill uses wood pellets which not only are environmentally friendly but also add a distinct smoky flavor to the food, something that was missing with Qstoves. The Asmoke grill is also much lighter and portable, perfect for my RV trips and tailgating adventures. The ability to control and monitor the temperature remotely via the app is a game-changer! And the fact that it's battery-powered and offers up to 10 hours of runtime means I can use it virtually anywhere without worrying about power source. Switching to Asmoke has definitely elevated my grilling game. #Asmoke

Good video, covered lots. Have to disagree on one thing. If you have a pellet grill with a second shelf, fat side up is the way to go. It renders much better.
I knew by the shoes you were wearing this was going to be fire 🔥
Have you ever done a video showing how to tune an offset e.g. baffles, turning plates, bricks, etc. I saw a video where biscuits were used to tune the temp. Anyways, I tried looking through your stash of vids and couldn't find one to reference, just trying to tune my smoker, also I see on your OKJ HL you dont use an extendeder to bring the stack down to grate level. Anyways appreciate your videos!
I just did four 1.5 to 2 pound lamb roasts exactly like this and it worked perfectly, fall off the bone tender and juicy delicious. I am thinking most any roast will work with this method with some slight variations in time.
Thank you!!!
