Brah I use these threads. Keep up the good work![]()
Since it bothers the little emo trolls and VivaLaFatboy so much...
...How I do it...start with a good bed of coals and a hot pit. Started fire with a pearburner at 7am
like that good clean smoke...
Trim fat side to 1/4" cross hatch 1/2" deep, trip all hard fat from point...dry rub and onto the pit fat side up. Close the lid and don't open it again for 10 hours.
Hold the right temperature
Shoot temperatures at 10 hours...170...close the lid.
Checked again at 13 hours...temp at 190...pulled off and into the ice chest wrapped in clean shop towels. Next morning onto the cutting board...
Cut the brisket across where the flat meets the point...
Rotate the point 90 degrees and cut the point in half. Wrap all in foil and directly back into the ice chest until time to serve...I don't slice until it goes on the plate...
nuthin to cooking a nice juicy brisket...![]()
Cue VivaLaFatboy to tell me he watched pitmasters on TV once and I'm doing it all wrong.

Whatever grandpa.
And no, Aaron Franklin does it the same but his obviously looks and, I'm pretty sure, tastes better. You wouldn't have people wait three hours for that scored, burnt looking, dry hunk of beef.
Scoring![]()
Viva Las Fatboy right on cue.
Now go back to eating cheetos and watching the food network. LOL fatass
what's the point of scoring it? genuine question imho
It can help the rub get past the fat cap, but it can also render the fat off quicker.
Pretty much that. By the time the brisket has cooked low and slow for 13-14 hours the fat cap has rendered into the brisket instead of rolling off. Check the cross section cut.
Naa...I don't like foil on briskets. Ribs yes, depending on time frame to tenderize and loosen up the bone but I will finish them back on the smoke, pork shoulder for pulled pork (I wrap @ 150 and pull at 195) but not briskets. The perfect brisket can be cut into 1/4" slices that just fall over in one piece but if you grab a perfectly cooked slice it will just pull apart with a slight tug. Foil briskets are more like a roast and just fall apart when you try to cut them.

Oh, and people wait at Franklins for three hours because they are too fat and lazy like Viva Las Fatass to smoke a great brisket themselves.
Stand in line for three hours..

1- I have done over a hundred briskets & could use more information on the pre trimming part…
2- You throw them on ice overnight? Interesting…Never knew about that…Do you re heat them or serve cold?
3- Prime rib is much easier…

Another insecure butthurt thread
Oh no...I just use it as an insulated box to let the briskets rest and cool slowly. They will stay hot for hours. You want them to reabsorb the free juices slowly so they are juicy when you slice them.
Another insecure butt hurt post from the emo got.
