Important note: I called and asked if I could do this beforehand. Aaron was enthusiastically on-board with the idea. Cooking a brisket while waiting in line wasn’t trying to one-up him. Instead it was to highlight the difference between getting a brisket finished and perfecting it.

No smoker or cooking method can replace the amount time a brisket takes to render it's fat and absorb the smoke into the meat. I have no doubt this barrel smoker was useful in cooking the brisket in a shorter period of time, it is the flavor and tenderness you get with a long, slow smoke from going 13- 15 hours.

Aaron know's he's the champ (in a humble way) so he's not "scared" of a video like this. He even teaches people how to make brisket like him for free on youtube.

Jeremy, I'm smoking a brisket this weekend and I owe you and Aaron big time for teaching me through all your excellent videos. I've been cooking for several years now with repeatable goodness. It's great seeing Aaron so gracious and humble as usual. Stopping at your table to try "imposter brisket" and having fun with the whole situation. Great job. Thank you!

I'm happy Aaron was cool with allowing you to do this cook comparison while waiting in line. I had to chuckle when seeing you with Aaron tasting the brisket and you were wearing a Terry Black's BBQ shirt!!! You Rock Jeremy!!! Cheers my friend!!!

T roy glad to see you comment hope to see you upload soon.

Your comment about "is it as good as I remember..." was spot on. My first time at Franklin was 10 yrs ago, and was just there again recently and it was as good, if not better than I remembered. (and I've developed a better "taster" as I've been cooking my own these last few years). Franklin is the standard we compare everything else to.

Only Jeremy could cook his own brisket at another bbq restaurant whilst wearing a totally different bbq restaurant's shirt. xD

Aaron with the cameo and being a good sport...love it!

Rocking the Terry Black's shirt while cooking at Franklin. Gotta love it.😁

That's a incredible job on a 4 hour brisket. I don't see how you nailed it so well cooking it that fast. Franklin's is as good as it gets on ribs and brisket!

Love your videos. I have been watching for a long while. Your eagerness to share your skill has enabled me to make great barbecue that everyone loves. Thank you!

Finally having Aaron Franklin try your brisket . . . and it is this one :) Dude seems super genuine. Great video!

I waited 3.5 hours back in the day. Enjoyed every minute of it because of the company. Strangers coming from far and wide. Great conversations. The food was phenomenal. I bought my first smoker a week later.

Great content as usual! Franklins on my bucket list for sure!

The premise alone is HILARIOUS! Aaron has always seemed like a really grounded dude, and thus just solidifies that.

Love this on the road series you’ve been doing

Really enjoyed the video and the original concept behind this. You've earned a new subscriber from me!

hey there. Just wanted to say thanks a lot!... Just attempted smoking my first brisket on an offset. Your vids helped immensely, so thank you very much..

I love this, Aaron’s a good sport. I wasn’t convinced any food would be worth waiting that long in line until I went there - that brisket is just insane. Holy moly. Worth the trip from the UK for sure.

Lol did you eat right before you got in line? I would probably have to.

Love your videos Jeremy. I've learned a lot from you. I like the Terry Blacks BBQ t-shirt while doing a video at Franklin's. LOL

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this, I’m from California and never experienced texas BBQ but Franklin’s is on the bucket list for sure. Definitely subscribing!

I enjoy your shows keep up the good work!!

this was a lot of fun to watch. thanks for making it!

Great video. Loved the idea and the outcome. Keep up the good work.

Awesome concept 😊 Most hot & fast comp cooks separate flat and point before cooking, takes a lot of cook time out of it. Finish temps are usually somewhere around 210-215. Also they get rid of all the external fat pre- or post-cook.

Awesome video Jeremy! Fantastic idea...loved it 👏

Well done all the way around. One of your best offerings on YT 👍

Damn, dude even got the Franklin branded charcoal! Glad Aaron was happy to have you try this experiment outside his restaurant. I've never had a 4 hour brisket and I never will. Great work Mad Scientist!

Genius idea man! I love it!!! The fact that he was so onboard is super dope.

Jeremy is just out here doing side quests at this point 😂👍

This was such a fun video. Would love too see you guys do a video with him. Maybe a history video documenting how he got into the BBQ community. Doesnt even have to feature cooking a brisket. Heck even if it does involve cooking something maybe it's something totally different that he doesnt have on the menu. Love this channel and it's completely changed my approach to cooking BBQ. It's also made me the go to guy for cooking on family holidays and for my buddies.

Aaron seems like one of the most chill dudes. He is other level in BBQ world and he just pops out can I try it? Franklins is a bucket list for sure!!!!

In his book and pbs videos, Aaron pretty much lays out the whole process of how he does brisket, so there’s really no big surprises on how to make it like he does. You just have to put in all the work and hours and not mess up, which isn’t easy

That was super fun. Great video Jeremy. Awesome to see Aaron come by to sample and chat too.

im a huge fan, found your channel around a year ago, the title alone made me sure this is gonna be a banger!

Californian here, moved to Texas to take care of in laws. Franklins inspired me to learn how to smoke brisket. Took me about 1-2 years to learn how to do it right. Trying different techniques and different items. Learned a lot from this channel. I’m a pellet smoker biggest tip I got from this channel was to choose the right pellets. Took my brisket to another level. (I don’t have the time to off set sadly.)

Loved this challenge! Great work!!

Not many people can probably say Aaron Franklin tried their brisket. Congratulations on a great idea. I enjoyed watching you try the ribs. I had the same reaction when I was there. His ribs alone are worth the wait in line. I can't wait to go back!!

One of your best videos ever Jeremy!

Aaron's a class dude - very friendly when we see him "out in the wild" around town. Always time to say "hey".

This was funny...love Aaron's confidence and good nature; most restauranteurs would "bristle" at this!

Just genius…. great work. never looked back after subscribing to your channel!!

Ha. Ya gotta love everything about this video. You’ve got an awesome channel dude.

What a great video, and what fun. You must still be quite young, I wudda needed a nap in there somewhere. Thanks for doing this.

I would be telling the story for decades if Aaron Franklin told me my brisket was pretty good

Excellent experiment and video! I learned some things, and had a good chuckle 😂

Made props for this video idea. Really great content.

It was awesome Aaron was onboard with this. I really want to visit his restaurant one day.

FANTASTIC video! I agree 100% those who say they would never wait in line for bbq aren’t cooking brisket near as good as those joints with a line. Big difference in quality!

ha! The banter from this is amazing

I dig this video, cool concept, the brisket looked ok also. the tallow is a game changer in brisket flavor.

New definition of slow food. Waiting in line. I've waited for one phone and one beer. Not many other things. I would wait for that bbq. One time i roasted coffee, brought it to one of the best roasters in the country. The barista brewed it. Gave it to the roaster blind and he said it was good. He didn't have to come over and tell me that at all. This was your day to have a similar experience. You didn't bring your proper offset brisket either. Then again i roast with a metal bowl and heat gun. Touche. Sweet bloom coffee. Andy is the best, humble guy in the business. Jeremy you have kept me in the bbq home game. The whole chicken is the best thing with your method. I never knew it could taste that good. Thanks!!!!!

Hilarious video Jeremy. Good job my man.

The Pit Barrel could've done better with a slower cook, though I doubt it would ever be as good as a 12-14 hours. I love it for camping and same day smoke/eat. Interesting idea, and it's good to see Aaron willing to let in the "competition" smoker. Great video and idea!

Great video. I definitely need to make a trip to eat at Franklin’s bbq again. I highly recommend trying Interstellar BBQ in Austin. They are ranked as number two on Texas Monthly’s top bbq joints in Texas. Make sure you get the peach tea glazed pork belly. It’s amazing!!

Fun video, the result was expected. Thanks for sharing!

This cool idea man very original 👍🏽 Aaron is just one cool nice fella!

Very cool!! Great experiment

A THOUSAND thumbs up Mad Scientist! Great video!

"I caught a weird smell in here." 😂😂😂 Great idea for a video, btw. And even better execution!

Super fun video! I'd be interested in a video of you trying to get the best brisket possible on a Pit Barrel Smoker, to compare it to the fastest possible.

What a fun video. Well done. Keep it up.

2 mins in and I am hooked. What a cool idea for a video You're a beast

Pretty funny concept and I liked the burger analysis.

I follow this because your brother bro Joel I worked with him at the wind turbines. I have followed a lot of your tips n tricks man!! Awsome shit his cooking is amazing too

I cant put into words how much I love brisket. Whether its the process or the taste itself. Its a perfect meat. Delicious!

I would HAPPILY eat that 4 hour brisket. Looked insanely good!

Keep the vids coming buddy. We support the hell out of ya ...how did cooking school work out for ya ? Graduate we assume ...should most def open up a bbq spot where you land at in this world

I love my PBC! Everything tastes great. My brisket I was able to get a good bark in 2 hours actually and I just cooked it slow in the oven from there.

I audibly laughed when I saw the title of this video. Kudos on a fun idea. Also, good on Aaron for being cool with it.

Leather apron SCREAMS class........ love it

I've done a brisket on the barrel a couple times and it was ok. I've done a lot more on my pellet smoker and it turns out a lot better. Barrel briskets were done when I first started so I'm willing to try again. Instead of rotating the brisket itself, I just tuned the grate each time. If you need one done in a pinch, nothing wrong with it.

Wow that’ an awesome video/idea / all around genius move

this is just hilarious, cant wait to see the results

This is a great experiment

The bromance with Aaron is awesome lol

Amen. Great video.

That line is no joke. Man is speaking facts. Can't wait to go back and visit again.

Cool! From what I saw, your fast cook pretty decent and I would probably love it. But I hope someday to wait in that long line to try the best.

For a 4 hour brisket with minimal rest that looks very good. Aron sampling it was awesome.

The Franklin guy was nicer than I thought he would be. 🤣🤣

I went to Austin and waited in line at Franklins in 2012 or 2013. It was fun. Met some fun people and ate some great BBQ. I have no plans to do it again. Definitely worth it ONCE. not doing it again.

Franklin's with "She thinks I Still Care" playing in the background, couldn't be better!

Great video, the sweetness is from the apple vineager he usually sprayit on the meat for sure.

Cool, video man! I checked out your link for the griddle, I would guess it works great but sheesh, you can tell its made in Sweden, in several ways....

I drove to Austin from Ontario Canada just for franklin (with some stops on the way) and was there are 6 am and was about 5th in line and it was worth the wait 100%

Great experiment!
