    I have watched hundreds of videos on how to trim a brisket and even though I have about 5 years cooking briskets, I would still say I am learning. None of the videos ever really go into detail for how the bottom of the brisket look. Its mainly on the top only, but you sir outdid yourself in this brisket video. Brisket looks great, and explained very good as well.

    i trim up probably 15+ briskets for smoking a week, usually around 3 a day, and I still find myself seeking better, more effective methods to get it right. Every damn one of them is different but typically the presentations of hard fat is pretty straight forward. To bad removing it never seems to be.

    Thanks for explaining this in a way that makes perfect sense. I’ve always wondered why someone would “waste” money by trimming so aggressively. I realize now that you’re actually wasting money by leaving those pieces on to get burnt and dried out. Can’t wait to try smoking another brisket.

    Everything in this video made sense except for cutting off that 2-3 inch wide strip of meat towards the end. Even though that had very little fat on it to protect it, I would think that still would have cooked OK. Even if not, it would help to protect the rest of the meat which you have now exposed by cutting off that strip. Thoughts?
