Enjoyed your video. I just smoked my first Wagyu brisket (I only have a BGE). My initial impression: they are so incredibly forgiving, compared to a Choice or even a Prime brisket. I appreciated your illustration of how to trim a Wagyu (and that of Franklin too) - I definitely trimmed more fat off the fat cap than I normally do, and left the deckle on. It was a smallish Costco packer - 11 pounds. The flat was thinner than any other packer I've yet smoked and I was a bit worried about how quickly that might cook compared to the point (I kept them together). The marbling was spectacular! Rubbed less aggressively than usual - as you and Franklin both recommend) with simple salt/pepper/a bit of garlic. Let it get to room temp before putting it on the (clean burning) grill with two large chunks of hickory. I experienced a number of glitches during my cook. The temp ran very high initially (probably two hours at @250-270 with spikes to 280) ... when I dared to go to sleep for two hours, about 7 hours into the cook, the fire started to wane - when I happened to awaken, the temp was at 165 ... Fortunately, there was already a decent bark on it when I ran down to the grill, and the flat temp was 172, the point 180. I'd been hoping to not wrap it - and with the temps already at 172, I figured the stall was already over - but I was also worried that it would take too long to restabilize the BGE temp. So I wrapped it and put it in a 240 degree oven. When it hit 203 (flat) ad 205 (point) it seemed properly tender - well properly in the flat, and overly tender in the point. I rested it for five hours in an igloo. It was, by far, the best brisket I've ever cooked. Of course, most of the bark was softened - but the deckle was GREAT. Outstanding burnt ends. Spectacularly great brisket, despite the problems! They're not cheap ... but IMO it's money well spent. Tiny sample size. I'll be watching more of your videos, for sure! Thanks!!!
Thanks for watching, and I'm glad you enjoy all of our videos. Glad they've been a help, as well. Temps can be tricky to maintain, but yes, a wagyu is way more forgiving than some of your choice. You truly do get what you pay for.

Looks great. Question? Will It over cook if you take it straight from the grill to the yeti cooler without letting cool down first before putting in cooler?
You used Royal Oak Charcoal pellets, that’s interesting because I never knew that Royal Oak made charcoal in pellet form!! Thanks for the education Heath!!!
When you were putting it on you said you were cooking at 200 degrees but during recap you said 225. You actually say the temp 3 times, 225, 200, then 225 again. Conflicting info here please clarify.
We injected instead, but you can inject and spritz, don't inject and just spritz. Totally up tp you. Just make sure the bark is set before spritzing or it'll wash off.

Also - still eating it. It's SO juicy, that drying out when rewarming hasn't been a problem. Great sandwiches too.

Love your passion for good food and grillin! Keep up the good work!
I appreciate that!
I love the smell of the steam and paper when you pull the brisket out of the cooler 😍
It is pretty good.
This was awesome. The brisket looks amazing! Nice work, now I want to do one!
Go for it!
Almost makes my eyes roll back 🤣🤣🤣
It does!
That looks absolutely divine!
TY!
What do you enjoy more using, or what’s your favorite ? Pellet or offset ? Thanks for the great videos
There's pros and cons to both. For competitions, I love cooking on my offset. At home, I'll usually cook on my pellet grill. Thanks for watching!
You did a great job on that brisket!
Thank you!
Killer video. That combo on all things beef is phenomenal. 🔥👊
Thank you!
Hell yeh brother, thanks from Australia
Rock on!
Perfekt Wagyu Brisket! Now I am hungry 😉
Thanks!
I just got my hands on a 10lbs american wagyu brisket. will be dropping it on the traeger friday night.
Hope you enjoy!
Nicely done ✔
Thanks ✌
12:17 - 12:19, had to cover the kids eyes on that one!! JK awesome videos you and Malcolm are my favs!
🤣 Thanks!
This video was really really awesome, the same way I cook my brisket too!
Awesome! Thank you!
Wow love this video i really want that cutting board though 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️

Nicely done beautiful brisket
Out of curiosity what is the optimal slicing temp after resting
I'll pull around 203º and let it rest in a cooler for an hour or two
Looks great. Question? Will It over cook if you take it straight from the grill to the yeti cooler without letting cool down first before putting in cooler?
More than likely it will, especially in a YETI because they are so well made.
Looking good!! Have you tried hot n spicy rib tips? One of my favorites!!
I haven't. Sounds good
can you please post a link to that cattle med injector I've been looking for one
I actually got it at my local TSC
Big Heath, “does your meat jiggle like that?” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂! Another amazing cook Heath, did you end up using charcoal in the Traeger?
You used Royal Oak Charcoal pellets, that’s interesting because I never knew that Royal Oak made charcoal in pellet form!! Thanks for the education Heath!!!
They just came out with them not that long ago.
Great video.After having the meat sitting in the cooler box, any idea what the temp is of the meat? Did it not cool down too much?
I did not check the temperature then. But it was still very warm.
Man you got me wanting to do a brisket this weekend! Only problem is Brisket is so $$$ now
You could probably trade your first born kid, and another $100 to get 1 brisket lol
It can be a little pricy sometimes. It can be worth it though. You can do so much with it and make several meals.
When you were putting it on you said you were cooking at 200 degrees but during recap you said 225. You actually say the temp 3 times, 225, 200, then 225 again. Conflicting info here please clarify.
Cooked at 225º. Had our Chef Alarm set to go off at 200º internal. Wrapped at 185º internal. Sorry about the confusion.
Amazing looking brisket.
When you're probing for 200° are you checking the flat or the point?
The flat
Can I still get a smoke ring with a pellet grill or should I use another grill instead?
You can get a smoke ring on a pellet grill
You didn't mention what flavor of pellets your using, most that I watch don't even say what pellets they use, is it a secrete ?
Royal Oak charcoal pellets. Right around the 9 minute mark he mentioned it.
Royal Oak
Cant seem to find your new rub anywhere.
It's always available on my website. We also have the dealer locator on the website to find a store closest to you.
What is your favorite combo of rubs for brisket? I would imagine your Beef Rub and Garlic Jalapeno would be fantastic.
Those are both my go to
So just to make sure, you never sprayed the brisket at any point while it was unwrapped?
We injected instead, but you can inject and spritz, don't inject and just spritz. Totally up tp you. Just make sure the bark is set before spritzing or it'll wash off.
I'm guessing fat cap down?
Yeah
Can you brine brisket?
I usually inject it but you can
Everything was perfect on the brisket exect the pellet grill. Would have been better on the offset or a drum.
I've cooked them on several different grills. Just showing different ways to do it.
Victornox lol.
Great knife
