  • Wrapping brisket to finish the cook seems to be the norm almost everywhere. What about not wrapping at all during the whole cook? This is how the current #1 BBQ joint in Texas do their brisket. I really like this method, and this is my interpretation of it. Thanks for watching!

      Great suggestion! That's something I've thought about doing on video. Just gotta plan it well, because all hands on deck during service and it's normally hard to find time to shoot. Thanks for watching!

    Loved this video! That bp one was juiced to the max!! I’ve been experimenting with both methods, and also wrapping with bp in the 180s. My next one, I’m going to cook no wrap, wrap in bp for the rest on the counter until IT is 145, and then wrap in plastic wrap before going into the warmer.

    Hey you have an awesome channel!!...
    Love watching your videos I've been learning how to get better on my briskets from watching you It's so much information that you give out!!.....
    I have a question? so do you pull your briskets off at 190 like Goldees and do you rest them or do you immediately put them in the oven to continue cooking and at what temperature do you set your oven at?
    Thank you Arthur

    • @fikscue
      @fikscue  Год назад +2

      Hey Arthur, thanks for watching! I do try to pull it like Goldees at around 190-195. However, I've now stopped temping my briskets and just go by feel. After pulling I rest at room temp for about 3-4 hours then put in oven at 170 for another 5-6 hours.

  • @randyhogan3071
    @randyhogan3071 Год назад +7

    You didn't say the temp you pulled them at but I would think you should let the one you wrap in foil cool down some before you wrap. Otherwise the carryover might be too great by foiling it right out of the pit. Jirby says resting down to 135-140 is important. Holding overnight in a warmer is not. If you feel you overcooked it a bit coming off the pit, rest it to 135 before you wrap and hold. If you hit it right, rest to 140 and wrap. If it's a bit undercooked, rest to 160 and wrap. All according to the Jirb.

    • @fikscue
      @fikscue  Год назад +3

      Yeah unfortunately we didn't get a footage of me temping the brisket before pulling since my camera person was getting sleepy and cranky lol, but it was in the 190's. The feel was more important to me than temp when pulling. The foil can definitely carryover the cook, so I do rest at room temp first for several hours before putting them in oven/warmer.

    • @THutch556
      @THutch556 Год назад +4

      All that is true, but when he switched recently to the foil rest, he wraps now right off the pit, No resting down. It’s Smoked uncovered the whole time till pulled, then wrapped right off the pit into foil with tallow. I imagine he’s pulling them at a lower temp with this method, probably somewhere in the 190’s as the carryover will be greater. In mad scientist’s video you can see them cooking there briskets this way and talking about it as I described.
      There always changing and testing there, find what works for you and you like personally and rock on.

      Different offset cooks differently, but 225-250 the first 6 hours should be good. Wrap when internal is around 180, then bump up temp to 275 to finish. Good luck
