Well, Guga has a cook book that you can buy

In his latest book, Smoke, he has changed it a bit. He suggests smoking the brisket at 260F, and then ramping up to 280F once you wrap it. He is also very strong about wrapping.

Franklin BBQ was my first taste of Texas BBQ. My friends and I heard about it and we flew from Minnesota to Austin and our lives were forever changed. I have since bought my own offset smoker and I now make my own brisket exactly the way Franklin does.

Never watch any type of cooking show when you are hungry. I’m so hungry NOW!! And no BBQ restaurants are opened this early in the morning (9:30am). Thanks a lot Guga! 😆

I don't have the equipment for smoking a whole brisket, but occasionally a grocery store will be selling them for crazy cheap, like $1.49/pound. So I trim it, portion it up in 2-pound chunks, and use it for pot roast or stroganoff. Both are long braises, so the meat comes out tender whether flat or point. The trimmed fat gets rendered into tallow, which I use to make old-school fries.

Fantastic collaboration with 2 of the best. Great video. Jeremy is a LEGEND

Great video and it was nice having Mad Scientist there. I guess I'm one of the few that generally cooks the flat separate from the point.

Read the title and as soon as I saw Yoder I gave a like. Guga's bringing out the BBQ heavy hitters!!

Thank you Guga for introducing me to Picanha! I agree with you, it's the best part of the cow (at least for grilling or roasting) and I can't get enough. For very low and slow cooks the brisket is of course better, but I personally prefer ribs :)

I have lots of cookers and years of experience cooking brisket. Nothing beats the original authentic flavor of no trim brisket cooked over direct open fire with a cheap grade of brisket, old school style and in half the time. You may want to give the original way of cooking this meat a shot, Guga, I think you may be shocked at what you're missing out on.

@youtopia2000

Exactly, the way people used to BBQ without all this obsession over the "best" way. That just takes all the enjoyment out of BBQing. Unless you burn the Hell out of it, any BBQ is good BBQ, especially if you had a nice relaxing time doing it.

Went to Franklins for my first and probably only time. Just because I live in VA and was there on business. 3 hrs in line and not sure if it was because of the wait, but it was the single best brisket I’ve ever had. Might have been the best initial few bites of food in my entire life. It was just unbelievable.

Guga make two briskets. One in the smoker using only dry oak wood and second one using Kettel grill and charcoal briquette + wood chips. Then let guys compare if there's any difference.

While using a kettle, wood chunks (not chips) will probably work better on long cooks. It doesn't take a huge amount, either. I use about a double-handful of wood interspersed with enough charcoal to burn about six hours. I generally wrap the meat when it hits the stall; once wrapped it can't take on more smoke flavor anyway.

That was fucken awesome!! I've seen his video at least 1 million an 1 times an it jus keeps getting better every time I see it!! But seeing professionals break it down was freaken awesome!!

As someone who was born in Central Texas, Franklin's BBQ is the real deal. I agree with Franklin, you don't need to be fancy with your seasoning, keep it simple; simple can mean good.

Except...he actually doesnt keep it simple with his seasoning...its not just salt and pepper. More of a do as I say not as I do teacher. Lame

My two biggest pieces of advice for barbeque mirror a couple pieces that Jeremy touched on. 1. It's better to under trim than to over trim. 2. The rest time is as important to the final product is as the cooking itself. Allow at least one hour for resting in a cooler, but three hours is better (I've never tried anything over five hours, but it could work).

Cook how you like! Franklin is one of the best bbq in Texas for a reason what he does is what he does and is very successful

Franklin inspired many.... You two keep it going!! I also feel Goldies in Texas, is the best BBQ period! 🙂

I haven't made it to Franklin's....but here in AZ, Little Miss definitely hits (so does mine). Apparently the guy that owns Little Miss BBQ worked at Franklin's for about 4 years.....no wonder their brisket is fantastic!

Love you guys teaming up

The best brisket I have ever made was on my Komodo Joe over lump charcoal and your hardwood of choice. I just do the point. The flat is hamburger. I love the bearded butchers cajun seasoning so I give it a good coating of that and cook it on the Komodo Joe @ 270-275 for 10 hours. Then take it off wrap in heavy foil and put it on the counter overnight. Still warm in the morning and wonderful!

The water pan is for smoke penetration. The moisture in the air allows the surface to be tackier longer to absorb the smoke.

@Bradimus1

@@ZmannR2 the water keeps the humidity high which helps control the temperature and prevents the surface of the nest from getting dry sooner. The chemicals you want from the smoke dissolve into that surface moisture. Your meat having a tacky feeling surface is pulling in the smoke. Spritzing is to do the same thing, but you have to open the lid, and if you aren't getting nice small droplets you're just making the meat wet and slowing cooking. I was taught about this at the ISU meatlab by a company that produces liquid smoke. The water tray is generally a good idea for a long smoke. I don't bother with chicken and things like that.

Holy cow this is an amazing collab

Sams club has prime brisket! Made my first brisket for Christmas, was so good

just threw another one of the Australian wagyu BMS 8-9 Denver steaks into sous vide, just won't get the charcoal flare since it's cold AF and snowing sideways outside, good thing I got the flamethrower so I can sear it inside!!

You know you're really good at something when you're in a movie literally titled chef and people come specifically to you for one thing.

That’s not a wrangler. It’s an old country they havnt produced in a long time. I believe it was called the rancher or something of that nature.

Perfect Brisket starts with Traeger! Temperature control is key. I start at 185 for 8-10 hours or 145 degrees. Separate flat from point. Paper wrap finish in oven 250F until 205f by now it is evening. Rest overnight. Burnt ends Slice point toss in sauce cook in oven in stock pot 275 3 hours toss every 30 min.

Franklin is the man when it comes to brisket!!!

I've gotta say, I hear where Guga is coming from regarding Gordon Ramsay's way to check if meat is done (feeling different spots on your wrist/hand). I learned that way and now I always do it lol. It's just sort of a good reference quickly, if you dont have a thermometer. Plus, if you feel it when its properly done, and then find a spot on your hand that feels that way, you can just use that as your scale. Cool party trick lol

I love living right outside Austin just so I can go to three or four of the best BBQ joints on the face of the Earth within an hours drive. Although the only time I go to Franklin’s is when I visit this one customer’s office and we send an intern to go stand in line for us. But from Lockhart to Austin to a couple roadside places that you can’t even find on a GPS, it’s great to live in the BBQ capital of the World.

That's an Old Country Pits Wrangler I believe...I really enjoyed this video and want some Guga's picanha and Jeremy's brisket.

Super HEB in Corpus Christi. Dang I love that place

Costco sells whole briskets year round in Florida, prime grade.

Should review Goldees no wrap method. Changed the way I do brisket to this day haven’t found anything better!

Guga. Prometheus is the god of barbeque. He gave man fire.🔥

It's funny when you talk to old timers from Texas. They call this "new" or "new-style" BBQ. According to them, "true" and "authentic" Texas BBQ is over coals, direct heat. From around the 1970s forward, offset smokers changed the face of Texas BBQ. They claim it was restaurants and competitions that changed everything. When talking with them, they didn't even trim the brisket because you needed the fat to protect the meat. It's sad that few people ever talk about this old-school BBQ. It is like "authentic" Florida BBQ was over coals and used mop sauces. Now, very few native Floridians are left that know these old ways.

That's old-school pit style, and it's still done in some places. A big part of that shift though was not actually the rise of the offset, but the rise of the USDA box-packed meat program that started in the 60s. That's when you started seeing meat packers sell individual primals shrink-wrapped in plastic. Before that, lots of BBQ places did entire forequarters at once, and then did the cutting after it was smoked. Offsets are just too small to really do that kind of thing, so pits were the standard choice. Once the butchery was pre-done cheaply for you, offsets became real popular because they're just more fuel efficient until you get into extremely large quanities of meat (like fill an entire room kind of levels)

Fantastic collab! Love it 👏🏽👏🏽 For whatever reason Jeremy, I’ve watched you more than Aaron Franklin 🤷🏻‍♂️ Like your content better 🤷🏻‍♂️

Seasoning salt pepper plus either garlic powder or guga rub.

What are your thoughts about a sous vide rest?

Guga, Sunday is family day in my family which means I have to be the chef this Sunday is going to be simple it's going to be Chicken Alfredo day but I'm going to give it a twist by adding bacon and ham! and I'm going to use 4 types of cheese and I'm going to top it off with parmesan Reggiano! it's going to be special!

As a Texan born and raised, I can tell you that in fact most great barbecue places literally only do salt and pepper on their briskets. The most important factor for flavor and that amazing bark is the smoke and the wood used to smoke. In Texas it's usually Mesquite, Hickory, and sometimes Oak.

great video so far im in the middle of it :)

I don’t have any problem with pellet cookers but do you know the connection between you and that fire?

I agree with the brisket fat, especially if the brisket is going into an oven, a BBQ, or a smoker. The fat on top might baste the brisket as it melts, or so they say. The fat on bottom may shield the meat you eat from heat. I have cut a brisket in half and folded it so that the fat is on the outside. No idea if that does anything. One thing online is that if you have a lot of seasoning, the fat side up may wash them off? But, I sometimes like cooking my meat with 0 seasonings and put some salt after. This might be an interesting test

Three things I discovered while making bbq, and I see so many "famous" bbq people and youtubers not do. Dry brine the meat, DAYS in advance. You want that salt to get in and it won't if you salt and throw it on the bbq. Then you just salty outside beef. Second, rest the meat for WAY longer than you think. And third, in your salt/pepper mix, add 1/4 the salt content with MSG. Try these methods and then try your old method and do a comparison. You'll never go back.

You said it air flow large end towards the hot end of smoker .

I knew nothing about steaks before Guga Foods. All my meat came from a grocery, I always used the wrong cuts, and always cooked my steaks well done because I never knew how long to cook it. Now, the people at my local butcher shop think I'm a pro and I'm constantly trying to make better steaks. I've gotten better because of Guga. My next thing is to buy the GE indoor smoker and go crazy with meats.

Jeremy is the BBQ master

The guy they are watching is a beast in the bbq world

My grandmother used to get a big brisket like that and have the butcher cut off the flat and ground it up. She would cook the point as a slow-cooked brisket and at the same time make meatballs out of the flat. Those were the days.

In my area of wisconsin you have to ask for brisket specifically if you don't go to a specialized butcher

I have a put barrel cooker that has impressed the hell out of me.

I've been told I ruined steaks, salmon, and raised the bar on BBQ by my family and friends. I get constant texts asking when I'm going to run the smoker or grill again. We didn't make Franklin's a couple years ago when in Austin as they were not yet open for inside dining and you could order online in advance. Brisket was sold out 43 days in advance. We were Ubering or walking around town so that made no sense to go there. Almost didn't make it back from Mueller's as the Uber guy wouldn't come back. We ended up with a very good Lyft guy who said he knew we were stuck so he came out. We had 3 other guys ride back with us because they had to hitch after Snow's ran out of food but the guys who drove them from Snow's were going the opposite direction. We did go to Stubb's, Terry Black's, Salt Lick in Driftwood, Louie Mueller's in Taylor and a couple other places that are now closed I guess. But everywhere we went I talked to the guys running the pits. Nobody was saying "Uhh, yeah we don't talk about how we do stuff" all very open and I took a little from all of them and use it when I cook.

They put msg in the salt 😂

Franklin's is one of the places I have to go to at least once.

How do you reheat brisket after 12H rest?

Picanha vs brisket, which ones best? Sounds like an episode guga can pull off

He could mean aerodynamic, when smoking you want to control airflow best you can. and if the heat and smoke come in on the small side it can roll up the big side as it rises out the smoker.

Alright Guga- time for the experiments. They might be cap! 😂

I'm in Minnesota. I get my brisket from Wal Mart. If I want to pay twice or 3 times as much, I can go to my butcher shop and get Wagu or whatever. But this isn't a competition. All I look for is good marbling in the meat section of the brisket. I never trim it before cooking. Fat is flavor. I can trim the little fat that doesn't render after cooking if I want. I cook hot and fast in my Pit Barrel unwrapped for 6 hours then wrap in butcher paper and hold it at 145 or so for 10 hours. Comes out like butter. There's no reason to pay big $$ for a brisket because until BBQ competitions it was the cheapest, one of the toughest cuts of meat. Still is tough. Just like I don't pay the premium for beef ribs anymore. I buy chuck roast. Same flavor less expensive. Comes out great every time I make it.
