Love all the Webers! I use the same. 22" WSM and kettle!

Tuffy! man your a baaaad dude fam that looks delicious!

Thanks you for sharing your expertise

this is the shortest brisket cook ive seen in a while. 4 hours smoked, 2.5 hours in a foil wrap, with under an hour rest. The colour after the smoke looked really good, the tender bend test was really good. Seems to have cooked perfectly but so quickly, i almost dont believe it. Lots of channels and books talk about long over night or day cooks with long wraps and long rests. Doesnt seem to make sense to me. I cooked one in 9.5 hours, it came out well, was a bit dry on the flat. used a kettle smoker and had to top up charcoal several times and rotate the brisket. did 2 longer 12 hour cooks, on a smokey mountain and it seemed to have come out similar to my first, a bit dry in the flat. my uncle has done at least 6-10 briskets on a traeger, doing injections and long cooler rests. many of the recent ones came out perfect.

The legend himself!!! Much love from Arizona!

Personally, I think brisket are easy. I found ribs to be the hardest to get right. Meat retracted, ready to pull off bone, but hold together....outside not hard.

I cook similar to that on wsm. Im surprised he never mentioned fatside (i cook fatside down) on wsm. Someimes i wrap sometimes not and i spritz 1x per hr depends on how it looks. And i trim very little, and i do not use a waterpan nor a diffuser. I like the drippings to hit those hot coals. I believe that gives great flavor

Do you keep the diffuser pan in or do you pull it from the smoker when not using? Love the channel and tips!

Sweet Jesus. I need to taste this.

Hey tuffy, can you give any insight on the finger test as it relates to setting bark? It seems like I can leave my meat in the smoke for longer than the average bbq cook and still really can’t seem to get the exterior of t he meat to the point that the rub and everything on the outer layer gets solidly stuck to the exterior of the meat

What is the song you have playing in your background? Stellar tune! Also, I have noticed that you like higher heat, 275-300 degrees. Why is this a preference for you compared to 200-225 degrees?

After smoking the meat, I’ve never understood why barbecuers don’t use an oven to tenderize the brisket. Heck, the meat is covered with foil so you’re not going to get any additional smoke. Oven’s advantage? You can maintain a perfectly consistent temperature, simplify the process, and minimize the use and management of charcoal. Why make it more difficult than it needs to be, particularly for an 18-hour cook???

I’ve used foil and butcher paper. I like the paper way better holds the bark better for me but each his own.

@TuffyStonePitmaster

Жыл бұрын

Agreed, each to their own, but both can make great barbecue.

I just got your classic rub and will do a brisket this weekend. Mine is only 5.25 lbs. How much time would you recommend for this if I hold my temp around 275 degrees? Hours in the fridge with seasoning for this smaller cut?

How long would this brisket rest for? Any general guidelines for 10-14 lb brisket?

Do you open the vents when cooking?

Just confirming Tuffy, you put that brisket on the grate fat side down? Sorry if I missed that. Thanks!

Would love to know why he uses foil instead of pink butcher paper. I have tuffy’s book. I’ve been smoking brisket for 20 years and I’ve learned a bunch just watching the videos and reading his book cover to cover.

Brisket Rule #1: FEEL over TEMP. ALWAYS!!

I love Tuffy but I think I prefer Texas style...the bark is much draker...salt + pepper base is the way to go IMO

Just wondering why no water in the bottom pan?

you would rather cook the brisket on your WSM then one of your kettles?

If you’re cooking this on a Traeger, any changes need to be made to the cook time?

@TuffyStonePitmaster

No changes, as long as you are cooking at a temperature of 275-285. However, I do not have much cooking time with your smoker, so please let me know how it turns out!

fat cap down or up or does it matter?

I just bought a Weber Summit charcoal grill. It looks like you’re cooking fat side down? Should I do that on the summit? I’ve never cooked a brisket before.

@jonsmallwood1657

I’ve heard place the fat towards the heat, so for that smoker down, a stick burner you might do fat up. It acts as a barrier to not dry out the meat.

Whats the purpose of spraying apple juice

I assume that once wrapped you can put any meat into an oven and get the same result (save money on charcoal and not worry about keeping a fire temp)?

Online you read a lot about how you want to avoid white smoke when smoking meat, and you've even done some videos about how to run a clean fire. Yet, in this video, when you open your bullet smoker to put on the brisket and even while the brisket is on there, you see billowing white smoke. I've just gotten into smoking and barbecuing so I'm a bit confused about why it's okay in your bullet smoker but not okay in an offset smoker. Also, doesn't leaving unlit coals in the fire make it so that when they eventually catch they produce thick white smoke? I'm wondering the same thing about the hickory chunks.

@1dibonepp

10 ай бұрын

The lit coals on top of the unlit coals is called the minion method. It’s been around for ever. What it does is allows the charcoal to lite gradually over a period of time. A 20# bag will give around 16 hours in my 22” wsm. The wsm is designed as a smoldering unit and not really a live fire. White smoke from using a wood fire on a offset is different then a charcoal. You still want it to burn clearer but it’s not the same as burning a dirty wood only fire. The reason you put the chunks in unlit is to generate smoke over a period of time. Basically one smolders through and then the other. This provides a small amount of wood smoke for hours. This setup and smoker is designed as a set it and forget it type of unit. You stack your chunks and charcoal and dump your lit coals and that’s the last you deal with that. Only thing you might do is adjust your bottom vents to possibly influence the coals towards a chunk or try and speed up a cook.

Great video, thanks for sharing ! I love my WSM and have done many a brisket on mine. What I found most interessting is that you did a "dry smoke" in this version, not using the water pan. I have never thought to run a "dry smoke" as you did here. What is the benefit ?

@UnderLoK

Жыл бұрын

The only point of the water pan is to shield your food from the heat. If you aren't going to run water in it (I haven't run water in mine for 10 or 15 years) try filling it with either lava rocks or kids play sand (you want play sand because it's clean). Either way you go (I used lava rocks) you just cover it in foil before each cook. The rocks and or sand have a few benefits over the water. First is that they retain the heat so less energy is being wasted making the smoker a little more efficient and as an added benefit it helps to keep the smoker more stable. Just for reference I can fire up my WSM and it will run 12-14 hours without touching a vent.

@lynndollar1013

Notice he spritzed every 30 minutes instead of water in the pan to keep the brisket moist, and also note he used the pan as a deflector plate. On my WSM , I would've had trouble running it at 275 with water in the water pan.

@lynndollar1013

@@UnderLoK I disagree. I think water in the smoker helps keep the surface of the meat moist, and a moist surface is to going to attract more smoke than a dry surface. Smoke clings to moisture.
