Reckon the slow’n’sear is the best Webber accessory I’ve bought. Two questions: 1). Smoking wood on top of the grill… is that because it doesn’t fit in the s’n’s with the charcoal… does it matter where you put the wood? 2). How nice did the kitchen smell after running brisket overnight? Thanks again for another great video.

You could probably fit the smoking wood in there, but it works just as well having it on the grill then you got more room for fuel anyways. Oh man the house smelt amazing 😆

Nothing hits as hard as cooking on Weber. Just did a small brisket 1.3kg because i have the house to myself. Great tips mate! The best thing about the webber is figuring out new tips and tricks and plus. The more beers you drink the better it cooks...its weird how the Weber gods work. Anytips on a brisket without the 10+ cooktime?
You make greatly informative videos! I'm currently smoking a prime 13-pound brisket today using the snake method and no water pan in a Weber Kettle. Temperature right now is 252 degrees and has been steady of a few hours. The internal temp of the brisket is 158. It's only been on the grill for 5 hours. Surely it hasn't hit the stall has it? I see juice on top of the brisket. Do I leave it alone?
You are a good cook. I love the Weber videos, that's what started me watching you. I have fourteen kettles, pretty much one or more of each, so that would draw me in. But I would like you to do some sides and salads, just to round out the meal. I would guess that you know how to do that. And a clockwise fire on the SNS? You must be down under, in the Northern Hemisphere we burn counter clockwise.

Hi, I have almost everything prepared to make a Brisket Whole Packer 5Kg on the Weber Kettle. But I cannot find this drip pan you use in the video. I live in Holland and I search all websites. Only in Australia or USA I can find this. Is there another way to replace this drip basket with another technique? I have the Slow and Sear- with water pan, but missing the drip basket you use. Your video's are great!

Why do you control airflow through the bottom vent? I usually use the top vent just for ease of use and visual cues. Thanks
@LownSlowBasics
2 жыл бұрын
My theory is that the air comes in through the bottom, that’s going to affect your air flow the most. If you leave the bottom open and control with top you’ll potentially choke your fire, just my theory but if it works for you, stick with it 😀
I’m new to this awesome endeavour. When you discussed wrapping, you mentioned butcher paper, foil or boating? Is that right? What does boating refer too?
@LownSlowBasics

Hey mate, boating is basically wrapping in foil but leaving the top open/exposed.
Well thanks for that. My one attempt at brisket was not good. It's is a weird cut of meat. Very grainy and if you don't cook it right, it's a disaster. I'm going to try it again per your instructions. Lastly, if you talk to a Texan, you need a smoker to cook brisket correctly, but I don't have any room for a smoker but I do have a nice Weber. I really appreciated your video. Thanks again from Idaho. I can't wait.

Awesome cook! Brisket looks insane. I've started doing small (1.5-2kg) brisket points on my Weber just with the old snake method and they're by far the best things I've ever done on it, even if the quality is 60-70% (being generous) of what you're producing. Question about the smoking wood method you use - You put these on the grill but not directly on the charcoal? I normally use apple wood chunks and I get a nice blue smoke consistently but I recently switched to hickory (looks like machine cut pieces) for the last cook in the weekend and I got some big white (bad?) smoke on this wood - only while it was lighting - before settling back into the blue smoke. Meat was unaffected but it freaked me out a bit. Should I cut it smaller and rest it on the grill above the charcoal instead of being directly touching it?

Amazing as always, Aaron. Just wondering how to keep it overnight in the oven, what's the process? Can I also use butcher paper instead of foil in the oven to help keep the bark? And what should the oven temp / mode (fan forced? etc?) be? (Sorry for all the qs!)
@LownSlowBasics
2 жыл бұрын
All good mate, I personally haven’t done it with butchers paper but I don’t see why you couldn’t. It’s literally just setting the oven to 70c and leaving it in there which holds it at an ideal eating temperature until you are ready to serve. Most ovens lowest settings are 70c. But as long as it’s below 90c you should be fine so it doesn’t over cook the brisket.
What is the probe you use to monitor pit temperature? I have a digital probe for my meat but can't seem to fond a probe for the pit...
