How to Smoke Brisket in an Offset Smoker Step by Step
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I tried a new method on this brisket and it was honestly the best brisket I've ever smoked and one of, if not the best I've EVER tasted!
Great bark, super juicy, great smoke ring, amazing flavour, perfectly tender and just all round fantastic!
In this video, i'm going to show you how to smoke brisket in an offset smoker step by step. If you are a beginner, or have just picked up an offset smoker or are simply just looking for some brisket tips, then this is for you!
You'll get to see the whole process from start to finish.
I'll show you how to set up an offset smoker, i'll teach you some fire management, how to trim a brisket, smoke it, slice it and everything else in between.
Always make sure you favour probe tenderness when you think your brisket is ready. Use the 205F/96c internal mark as one point of reference but always make sure you are happy with probe tenderness and don't be afraid to take your brisket a little further if you think it needs it.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask in the comments below and also feel free to share this video around if you think others would find it helpful.
Now get out there and go smoke a brisket!

This was great. Thanks for making it super simple to follow. Love the results!
I have been trying to find a video for smoking brisket and this video has been the most informative one ever. Thanks man. With all the tips that you just gave, my next brisket will not be the failure I had on my last (which was also my first).
Great video! Just got an offset off the street and restored it. At 8 hours with my 15lb brisket right now and it’s looking phenomenal. Thanks for the help!
Great to see quality Aussie low & slow BBQ smoking videos like this. Brisket is my favourite, and you nailed it mate, well done!

I`ve gotta say, this video is the one on the top of the list for me. You did an AMAZING job with the video AND the brisket. You kept it very simple and easy. I`ve been doin smokin bbq`s for 60+ yrs, and i`ve never seen the "aluminum boat" method before. I`ll give it a try! Looks like it worked really well for you! And a huge thank you for posting an incredible video and brisket cook. My only problem is, having to wipe up all the drool from my keyboard now, lol.

Awesome video, on the rub salt and pepper in a 1:1 ratio. This helps dry brine the meat so that it locks in its natural flavors, while giving it a smokey edge with the pepper. A lot of people in Texas use this simple method
This is awesome. I just got an offset Char Griller and never done a brisket. Your video gives me enough confidence to give it a shot.
I recently got my first smoker, an Oklahoma Joe's reverse flow. This video easily helped me to improve my fire. There's definitely more consistency between the chamber temps and grill temps
I’ve been looking for a good starter smoker and the OJ offset seemed to be a good option. After seeing your results, I’m going to grab one soon! Thanks for the VERY detailed tutorial! You’ve earned another sub!

Out of curiosity, how did you collect the fat? Did you just get a lot thinner pan, so it could fit on the plates/between the grates? I bought the same smoker, and am preparing myself to do a brisket this spring.

In my opinion this is far and away the best method to cooking a brisket, I’ve been doing this for a couple years now and it gives an incredible bark, funnily enough I don’t see any of the American smoker channels doing it, maybe it’s an Aussie thing, love your channel, isn’t it funny how serious smokers have a small collection of em, I have 5 myself and use them all and am still often on the lookout for something different, cheers brother

Following this tutorial pretty much to the letter. Just at the 90°c end of the boat 2nd stage. I can feel the meat tenderizing as it gets to the cooked temp. Omg can't wait to taste. I'm using old kwila decking as fuel... 😂❤
Fresh ground pepper and celantro and a little salt. Perfect brisket
Literally a drooling mess right now. Great video by the way. I've just picked up my first side smoker bbq as I wanted to have a go at doing a nice piece of brisket. I'm not going to big with it though for the first one. Only about 3kg. Can you suggest how long it would take roughly etc?
Thanks for the video just got a questionn. The first 2 logs were the pre heated before to allow for non smouldering
Perfection!

@Low n Slow Basics I sm doing a brisket right this minute and it's a new smoker that's much bigger than I'm used too. I was having some fire issues and I'm not used to the temps on it yet either. I watched a few of your videos on fire management too and so far so good but i used use pecan wood and all I could get was mesquite and it seems so hard and even after warming them. They are still having trouble getting started. Is that a normal with that kind of wood. I even cut them smaller still issues
Did you have to add anymore charcoal to the firebox? If so do you add unlit charcoal or lit charcoal?
Thanks for the helpful.videos. A couple of questions for you. I notice you don’t have a deflector plate or tuning plates in your smoker, do you find this better than with? I tend to get a lot of ash coming into the cooking chamber without them. I use iron bark also. Do you find much ash getting into the chamber/on the food?
@LownSlowBasics
2 жыл бұрын
Great questions! I do have a deflector to make it reverse flow, I could use one section of it and keep it standard flow, but I have no issues with it, if I had the offset full I’d use it to stop the higher heat on firebox side. No real issues with ash on meat.
Question. After you removed it dude you leave it in the tin with the juice or take it out for it to come to room temp
Epic!!
@LownSlowBasics

So my offset is different to control temp obviously due to wood split variance, moisture of wood, wind etc. My question is how it effects the internal temp of the meat? If it’s dancing between 200-300 degrees, is it possible to overcook due to this? As the brisket sat at 170 for the longest time until it hit 200
I like the video very much bud. Thanks for all the details, it truly adds value! Hope one day I can make this type of video on my channel, I'm still practicing on how to get brisket on a decent level on my offset. Cheers 🍻

Thanks mate, not really. Sometimes it'll take 6, sometimes 12. So many factors, the brisket itself, the stall, how long it takes you to wrap your brisket, accuracy of probes etc. My advice always get on earlier and can always rest longer if needed.
I’ve not tried a big quality brisket yet … never got that giggly butter like probe as yet :( Only done about 2.5kg brisket … so need to try a big one and quality cut too . Will stick to your fire management plan also … I tend to put two splits in and then complain it’s to hot lol Great video mate . Great brisket 👍👌

Thanks so much for using real wood real pits and not cooking everything in a pellet or electric cooker. I know everyone cant tend a fire like they should but lets be honest this is a good looking brisket. Probably a GREAT tasting brisket. You will never get this from a pellet cooker
