Texas style, fat side up. I recently started doing wagyu briskets. They’re like butter.
Bro, “meat shims” might be the coolest thing I’ve ever heard 😂! Trademark that and put it on a T-shirt

Fat cap down means the fat part of the brisket lays ON the grates? If so, that would mean that the fat part of the brisket on your particular smoker, would be facing the heating element that’s on the bottom?
Such a fun cook with my boy Chad!
Matt, I watched this video several times, took notes, and printed the recipe just so I could do exactly as you did preparing this brisket. I followed your instructions to a 'T' and my full packer brisket that I smoked this past Labor Day was a huge success!! I did everything just like Matt except I didn't use as much of Holy Cow but a little heavier on the Holy Gospel. After I trimmed all the fat, I made some tallow and what meat I trimmed off, I ground it all up and put in the freezer for later use. Thank you Matt and Chad for this amazing recipe and lesson on how to bring a little Texas to my home. I'm from Texas but I moved to North Dakota in 1979. There is nothing like a good ole' Texas Brisket and I love my Traeger!!

I did it today. It works brother.
I've cooked over seventy briskets and screwed up a lot in the beginning. There are so many variables. My advice if you're a beginner is smoke it at around 225 to 250 fat side up, wrap in a foil boat around 160 roughly (which creates a bark and will keep the lean moist). Cook to around 200 then rest it for around fifteen hours in a cambro at 145 or a Breville oven which can go to lower temps. Resting that long is critical for a killer brisket.

When you wrap it and place it back on the grill are you keeping the temp at 250F? Or are cranking up the temp to 300F until internal temp reaches 200F?

I got the Breville idea of Chuds. I bump it up sometimes to save some time.
Matt thank you for what you do , you are really helping us rookies out , love your videos , I've learned so much just watching and listening to everything you say
Thank you for taking the time and trouble to do what you do. I've learned much from you, and I appreciate it. Thanks again.
Matt I learn every time you do a brisket video. Really appreciate all you do.
I absolutely love my Traeger it’s truly a game changer.
I watch this every time I cook a brisket. Always great to refresh! Thanks!
"More tender than your mother's love. Which is really tender, from what I've heard" just sent me lol. Fantastic cook boys
To me, your overnight method is the "ol boy" method for me. Just so easy, and produces a fantastic final product. I felt a little weird the first time, going to bed while the Traeger is running, but when you get up in the morning and find your brisket isn't over cooked, and then the final product after finishing it is just superb.
When Matt said when he buys a brisket he's looking for the thickest and most uniform flat that was great content. I'd love to se a video about how to shop for a brisket.

I smoked my first beef rib last weekend after watching your video and it came out great. Took a little longer than I expected but everyone loved it. Keep the videos coming. Learning a lot.
I love this. You can tell you guys are having fun but also die hard serious at the same time. Good stuff boys. 🍻
Just subscribed. Was a chef for about 10 years. This Brisket recipe looks amazing. Just got into Treager a few years ago; primarily to smoke salmon ( I live in the Pacific Northwest). I’ll be cooking a brisket this week using this recipe. Thanks!
Awesome video. Cooking a brisket is one of my favourite meats to do on my Traeger. Lots of great tips from these Legends. Especially the competition style vs texas style. 👍👏
I have been converted and ready to be baptized in BBQ Sauce. Thanks for the fantastic trim/prep/cook/cut tutorial. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge and love of BBQ.
Hi from Bastrop TX, I'm glad to see true Texan giving away his secrets. I prefer the yellow fat in every bite. Post oak is my fav. Been using paper bags from grocery stores for years for BBQ briskets and other meats as well. Been studying other cultures ways of BBQ and have found some amazing tips,tricks and techniques as well as cooking methods.
Ya gotta love Chad's britches.....another great one MP!
Another great video...very informative. Thanks
You guys did a helluva job on this video brothers!!! Cheers!!!🍻🍻🍻
Need to try this for sure step by step
Great Video Matt. One thing I'm a little weak on is trimming the brisket. Loved your method, and thank you for sharing.
Meat Church + Traeger = The Dynamic Duo! Can I get a Witness! Hallelujah! I am tasting a slice of Heaven.
I'm from Texas and i thought this was amazing, thank you. I know you may think you unwrapped it too early but it also allowed you to get a nice bark. Well done!
Awesome. Another brisket coming up shortly in our house.
Hahaha “if that’s wrong I don’t want to be right” Mighty brisket you made there fellas good work
Learned some great new tips!
Great stuff guys,, keep it going 👍

How did it go?
Great video!
Since i had my Treager, my bbq been excellent. I only use meat church seasoning to.👍
You just made me do my personal best today with your spices! The brisket came out so good, the hair came off my feet. We are tearing it up while I'm typing this! I wish I could send you a pic! Used a Pit Boss by the way.
Did super smoke at 200 for 12 hours. Went up to 250 after the wrap for another 2 and the brisket is butter. Voodoo and Holy Cow with extra pepper. Mustard binder.
Just tried this. Came out ok. My lack of experience really came through. It was still a bit tough but it is only my 4th time ever cooking brisket, but first time on the Traeger. Flavor was good but definitely need more spices next time. I only used what I had on hand. Great video and thanks for all the great tips.
Only meat side up on Pellet grills, this gives added protection from the heat source and helps stop drying it out.
Nice post. I moved out of texas twenty years ago and have missed the barbecue ever since!
I'm a Texan and have done competition brisket for many years and never have done them meat side up. I have always done them meat side down. It keeps the meat juicy.
I saw a video where they used a sous vide to keep the temp at 140 until they want to eat. They left for 12 hours and still was great.
28:40 best part! I love their faces 😂
All I can say is... WOW!
ive held a brisket at 140 in foil for over 10 hours and the bark was perfect
@ 3:01 Matt, I actually saw some rubs at an outdoor camping and hunting store, called Sportsman's Warehouse, as well as, of course, the official Traeger rub, except that the label is actually updated in a new look!
The hair sniff @ 26:30 is epic. Nice work gentlemen.
Hi Matt, I just attempted my second Texas style brisket and trust me I KNOW Texas brisket, lived there two years and did the tour. My first attempt was absolutely horrid!! Then I watched this video...BAM success. Not perfect but damn good. I used my buddies pitt boss and the temps were not very accurate, couldnt get 200-225 even though set at 220 it would run closer to 250. I just relaxed and followed your advise. Cant thank you enoiugh!

I watch and follow, but rarely comment (don't feel I have the experience to), but I absolutely loved this video. Still haven't got around to cooking or trying Brisket
Looks amazing I cook my brisket the same way Matt does fat side up and a coarse ground pepper, salt and lawery’s , put it on the traeger the night before on smoke and let it go all night
I had a heck of a time maintaining the temp in my wood smoker. Please do a video on how to use a Traeger pellet from start to finish please!
You keep on mentioning how you use the trimmings for burgers in all your videos. I'd love to see how you make burger meat and then throw it on Traeger's new flatrock grill.
My favorite style of brisket to cook! Salt n Pepper only!
Goldees holds in Foil after a no wrap smoke and they are number 1
These steaks are simply incredible and very appetizing
Love to see it
Impressive.
Need that watch that you're wearing!!
So many people are cooking on pellet grills these days, and I believe the fat side being down helps protect your meat side from drying out with the heat source generally being underneath the meat.

Try turning it over every couple hrs. Don't forget to rotate as well. Faster, more even cook. When you really get adventurous. Try smoking it until ready to pull without wrapping. I suggest making a sop mop and start applying when it hits around 180 on the lean. Once done wrap it up tight with a little of the mop for the rest.
nice trim bro
My 7 yr old huge fan says as the video ends, "He didn't say he ain't mad at it!" Lol
You R simply the best 😋😋😋👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have an electric masterbuilt smoker, im going to try to do this for my self
Thoughts on doing this brisket at 165 super smoke until it reaches 175? then bumping to 250 for the wrap finish. and you are a Meat Pimp!!!! i use every seasoning you create and i appreciate the awesome content in each of your videos, thank you! Brandon Dearth
The Gospel seasoning tastes really good on pork chops👍
People are saying legend too much these days .. but you know where I'm going with this
Sweet intro!
Matt, thanks for an informative video. You both did great! What do you do if the meat stalls before reaching 170?
@TraegerGrills
Жыл бұрын
Hey Dan, we rarely see the brisket stall before 170°F, but if it does and you are happy with the color, you can go ahead and wrap it and that will help break or push through the stall faster.
When do i wrap it in the paper again
What I’m a bit confused about is when to wrap it and then what temp and how long to cook after it’s wrapped
If you are resting in a cooler should you wrap in a dry towel or wet towel or just in paper? Thanks for any info.
Thanks for the informative video. Just moved to Texas and will try your brisket method. Question; Do you place brisket “ fat up “ back into smoker after wrapping in paper ?
Just made the best brisket I’ve ever had.
I want to be part of the audience to sample that brisket. Yumm.

At Chad Ward: I mean, Goldee’s BBQ hold their briskets overnight in foil. And they turn out good. They’re the #1 BBQ Joint in Texas.
You mentioned that if time allows season the night before. Do you cover your seasoned meat, or do you wrap it for the overnight?
When you do one overnight at 200, what time do you start the cook?
Love the education thanks, I’m new to how to do this. I’m learning to do this to get my wife meat she can and will eat . Due to health issues Her diet doesn’t allow for sugar, any suggestions?
im buying a traeger 575 soon
What's that over temp once it's wrapped? Heat off? Resting til 140F at that point?
Scubby snacks I sometimes put the trim in the smoker seasoned and just like the meat. I cook accordingly. But I get treats to snack on earlier than the brisket or pork rib or what ever I'm cooking
Omg his shorts are straight out of The Shining lol
When you wrap, do you put it on the top shelf??? Also, during the initial cook when it’s on the top shelf, is it ok to put a pan underneath it on the bottom shelf????
I like the idea of leaving it alone all night and turning it up to 250. Can you tell me how many hours of bedtime and how many hours at 250? Also, do the pellets last that long, and do you wrap before turn up to 250?
Does anyone know cooking times for smaller briskets? Say 2kg - 6kg? My Traeger 575 always seems to hit required internal tempreture very quickly, therefore i dont seem to be smoking for that long. Thanks for your help guys 😅
Thoughts on mustard vs hotsauce for a binder?
great video, where can i get a cutting board that size?
Newby question. Im about to do my first brisket. Can I use the meat trimmings in a stew or chili? I don't see why not but just curious. I like to experiment with different meats in each trying to get them better.
How many hours did it take?
Outstanding
Matt, I live at 9300 ft. and I know water boils around 195 so if I try to take a brisket to 165 or 175 before wrapping it first takes for ever and may never get there and brisket get overcooked. What would be the best temp to shoot for at time to wrap, and at what temp would it be done? I know feel has helped me but would like to know you answer about smoking at altitude. By the way I do use a Traeger.
Stupid question, cooking my first brisket for Christmas and following this recipe. When it says cook to temp (whatever it calls for) where am i putting the meater probe? Is that temp from the flat or somewhere else
Also how many hours does it usually take to cook it up to 175° before wrapping in butcher paper?
that thin smoke ring and why I don't use a traeger. they work great for fish however.
