“I ain’t got nothing to hide!” Is the understatement of bbq history!!

I have watched his Master Class and it was great! Before wrapping he usually puts beef tallow under the meat and sprays the paper with apple cider vinegar, then back into the cooker. It made a huge difference in mine for sure.

My favorite thing about brisket is the hours spent by the fire, occasionally smelling wood smoke, having a drink and enjoying the slow life.

Such a down-to-earth, no-frills video. Love the genuine approach and presentation.

“Now I become a pitmaster. Destroyer of bbq central texas.” - Aaron Franklin Oppenheimer

Mr. Franklin, I love that you work with PBS. Keep going, PLEASE!

Thank you, Aaron Franklin, for teaching me the ways of a brisket. I compliment you every time I smoke a brisket. You are definitely the Yoda of brisket. Team aluminum foil. Lol! Htown boy here.

I made a big brisket for my daughters wedding rehearsal and it turned out amazing. I wrapped it in foil and let it cool for about 3 hours.

Loved the analogies. Great job.

I have eaten his brisket one time. It was fabulous 😊

One of the biggest variables I have seen on cooking a brisket is the actual brisket itself there's a huge difference if you get a choice brisket from Walmart versus a butcher's cut from an actual meat market

@darrellcurrier5571

I would assume that if that butcher is getting a choice quality brisket, there won't be much difference.

I love a good brisket. Cooked plenty and it does take practice.

what a great vid. fun fact, there is no difference between the shiny and dull side of tinfoil. those two sides are a product of the manufacturing process, they cant roll the aluminum thin enough as one sheet but they can do it as two so when they do the final roll one side gets touched by the rollers and the other is pressed against another sheet of foil, thus the two different appearances.

I had always thought the dull side was less "sticky."

When I first started to use my smokers, I found videos from him. I took some of his tips, and I think I can make a pretty good brisket.

I also live in Austin. When I smoke a brisket, I will smoke it for 6 hours and when it’s time to wrap it, I will stick it in the oven at 250 for the rest of the time. It works wonders. I usefully try to start it around 6 in the evening so that way come midnight I stick it in the oven and let it go til 6-7 the next morning. 😋

Once you get the internal temperature correct wrap it in heavy foil and put it in a small cooler and it will continue cooking because it insulates it and keeps it hot.

Yes, After you smoke for 6 hours, the smoke ring and bark are formed. After wrapping in butcher paper, you are basically just holding temps at that point. What better way to hold temp than in an oven. It is not like the smoke is gonna permeate the paper. I love it. And don't hear people talk about it. Kinda my own little gig. @@asianangler

Nice to see Aaron’s perspective on a comparison that has been covered by others. Aluminum foil should have been replaced by the foil boat. Most who know would never wrap with foil.

Franklin is the pitmaster legend!

“Mr. President, that is your brisket over there.” “Son, they are all my briskets.”

I really like that LBJ description! That brisket is criminal! 😆👍🇺🇸

even with foil he is the best brisket wrapper out there lol

Great video u need to make more I know you are always busy can u make a video on offset fire management because I have a hard time getting the temp all the same

dump the pellets in, go golfing. Come back for an unnecessary check, go to lunch. Come back check temps...go from there. Absolute winner for the average homeowner

Was in Austin Tx this past weekend and ate at Franklins. Was about a 2hr wait but WELL worth it!!! I’d wait however long it takes to eat that brisket again. Best I ever had.

At what internal temp do you wrap the brisket? and what temp do you remove the meat

They kept going back to the unwrapped. Tells you a lot.

10:14 "the tighter the better", 100%

Someone get this man a razor

Definitely seems like an austinite. Never had his q but reminds me of my dads paper bag brisket

I am able to volunteer as a taste tester any time, any where.

My favorite is a foil boat and a very loose wrap of butcher paper over the top

So here's a question. We are headed to the Dallas area in April 24 for the eclipse. Where are recommendations for really good BBQ? Love the videos and have one of his books.

In the 70's when my dad would bbq, he would use brisket from Kroger, Fiesta, or Randells because it was super cheap back then. Right up until the late 80's when I left TX, did brisket prices start to rise. Now briskets at the prime rating cost $90 - $1000 depending on cut and quality.

I regularly get a packer Prime at H‑E‑B for $4.49/lb. Generally about $65-$70. Haven’t had a bad one yet. I do trim somewhat aggressively but most of the trimmings are used in other things.

I LOVE brisket but they are VERY expensive! They run about $100 where I live😫

aaaand now I am hungry.

Bro sweat was dripping on that meat😂😂😂

0:24 - It must be the sweat that adds that something extra.

When adding wood to my smoker a lot of white smoke kicks up I usually leave the door of the box open until that dies down. I've always heard that the white smoke is dirty smoke am i doing that right or can I just close the box door and let the white smoke die down on its own?
