I rarely ever comment on videos but I definitely feel like this one deserves one. I recently smoked my first brisket and followed every step in this video and I had a complete success! Every aspect of cooking my brisket went according to Malcolm and his methods! It was amazing!
Thank you for this video. I always wanted to try smoking a brisket but was hesitant because it is not a cheap experiment. I recently bought a pellet smoker and decided it was time. I followed the instructions on this video exactly and it turned out pretty dang good for my first try. That low and slow cook sure tested my patience but it was worth it. As I was slicing it up for the family, I did announce "that's a clapper right there Jack!"
I think my favorite part of his videos (outside of his skills and knowledge) is the fact that he’s been doing it for years and he still smiles ear to ear when he pulls something out and slices it. You’re a class act Malcom!
Malcom its 7AM and thanks to you I'm wrapping my second perfect brisket!!! You explain and show us better than anyone on the internet!! The great thing is no opening up and spraying......just low and slow to perfection!! Thank you.....you are the best!!!
My goodness this is probably my favorite lesson in smoking a brisket. Quick explanation, trim, times, temp, wrap method, everything! My mouth was watering! Mine is on for Thanksgiving now! Turkey goes on in the early morning!
Malcom, this was the first time I have ever tackled a brisket and all I can say is THANK YOU! OMG it was so wonderful (17 hours) and it was golden! Thank you for sharing this with us!
I just want to say. I did this step by step with a 14lb full packer brisket and my family went nuts. It was MONEY. Just wanted to give you love from here in New York bringing BBQ to the North. I am not switching my Traeger ranking from “backyard bench warmer” -> “best on the block” because of this cook ! Thank you
Malcom, my husband and I followed your directions and made our best brisket ever on the Traeger! We marinated the brisket for around 50 hours and made our own rub. Then followed your instructions. Our guests absolutely loved it! Thank you!!!! I wish I could add a pic to this comment so you could see it!
After destroying the first 3 briskets I’ve tried to cook I came across this video and tried it. Malcolm, your video saved my brisket cooking career! This past weekend I made a 17.5 lb Prime packer using your method and it came out perfect. I only varied a little, used Worcestershire sauce for a binder, salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, and your The Steak Rub on the outside. Got the beautiful bark, beautiful smoke ring, awesome juice, and awesome taste. Several bbq junkies said it was the best they’ve ever had. You nailed it with this low & slow, and by following it I nailed it too. Thank you so much for all you do for your viewers, you are THE MAN!!! 👍😊
@@MrLucasArias4 IIRC since my brisket was about a pound and a half bigger than Malcolm’s I think it went about 60-90 minutes longer unwrapped and the same amount of time wrapped. Then I rested it for about 9 1/2 hrs wrapped in towels in a cooler. If you follow his temps for wrapping and pulling it off the grill you’ll be fine. I did an 18.5 pounder 2 weeks ago and it also came out perfect. As Malcolm would say, ‘They were both clappers, Jack!’ Best of luck! 👍
Wish I could be there for a slice! Make sure your hopper’s full, get some sleep, and enjoy the best brisket you’ve ever made tomorrow. Rest it at least 4 hrs, longer if you can. Lemme know how it turns out! 👍
@@davehoward2791 it came out fantastic. Ended up being a 22 hour cook and 2 hour rest. I could only imagine the longer I rested the better! It was a hit. Funny seeing the adults line up and devouring a slice! Haha
"That's a clapper right there, Jack!" Man, by far my favorite BBQ'er on the entire internet. Smart, wise, humble, and tastes that match mine more than any other person!
Dude this is awesome. And I really appreciate that you typed out the instructions in the video description as well! Aside from a little bit different rub, I'll be following your instructions exactly this weekend. I'll post an update comment letting everyone know how it turns out.
Hi Malcom. My friend Nads told me about your legendary barbecue channel. We have watched loads of your videos during this lockdown. Our new favourite RUclips channel!. Your beans recipes are pretty awesome. We have a friend who loves beans
I've had my pellet grill for 6 - 8 months, and have been looking for a practical and simple way to cook my first brisket. This is a perfectly simple recipe and instructional video its going in the grill tomorrow morning. I'm picky because I lived in Texas for many years and I know that a good brisket doesn't need a lot of special stuff, and this is perfect. Thanks.
Hey mate I just tried this here in South Australia, in quarantine and cold of winter but my brisket turned out amazing thanks to your video. I had plenty of clappers, burnt ends and some parts I could eat with a spoon as well. Hats off to you my friend, regards Frank
It is nice to see that i use EXACTLY the same process and steps to run my briskets in my Traeger. Never disappointed of the results...and you can sleep at night! well done Malcom.
I litterally watch an older video of a brisket cook u did this morning and was wishing u had one in the pellet smoker and boom u provided . Thanks man!!!!
I followed your directions very closely and my brisket came out amazing! I had the smoke ring, a wonderful bark and it was tender and juicy. The point was to die for! Thank You for sharing your secrets with us.
I followed your steps with my own seasoning, turned out perfect! Mine was a little bit small, so done in 12 hours, I let it sit in the cooler for 4 hours. Turned out awesome! Thank you!
@@MichaelBlocksom I know this is late, but I've left the paper wrap on brisket then wrapped in bath towel and placed inside cooler overnight to rest. Still warm and great to eat.
Ive been using this video for a year. Clapper after clapper, Jack. This is the best pellet brisket video on the tube. I absolutely love this method and i appreciate your content, sir.
I am currently smoking my brisket for the second 8 hours and everything that you said on your video has been spot-on with what I've been doing. Pulled the brisket off to wrap it and mine internal temperature was it 145! Great video!!! And will absolutely be watching more of them in the future.
Just seasoned. Letting her rest a couple hours then sticking her in the Pit Boss 850 Pro for the evening. If all goes as planned, I'll have about 13lbs of brisket just in time for memorial day and a week's worth of leftover sandwiches. 🤤 Your channel has improved my grilling and smoking skills a ton. Big thanks!
Made a brisket last year using this method(using different rubs) turned out so good that I'm doing it again this year! Right now actually. Thanks for the easy how to video and Happy Thanksgiving!
First time smoking a brisket and followed instructions. Everyone was telling me it was so good but the real tell was when everyone went back for 2nd and some for third servings. There were no left overs!!! It was a hit!! Thank you Malcom!!
That first 8 hours at 190 is money. Really gets that smoke flavor on there. Took my pellet grill brisket to the next level. I wish I could share a picture because the smoke ring was immaculate.
This has to be the easiest process I have seen yet on how to cook a brisket. I think I'm going to try one for labor day in a week or so. Thank you for all of the helpful tips and tricks
Thank you for posting this Malcom! I did my first-ever brisket for Christmas “dinner” (more like a giant lunch at 1pm) and it turned out fantastic!! Excited to do another one now that I know I can trust this process. Thanks!!
I've been cooking at 250 on my Traeger since the beginning, usually did pretty well with that but always seemed to finish sooner than planned. Definitely going to try the 190 overnight method and run up to 250 at wrap.
Thank you Malcom. I just followed this approach on my pellet grill, and it was far better than every other brisket I've done. The extra low temp and longer time before wrapping really helped develop a better bark.
Dude as a fellow pellet smoker guy, dry brine you meat over night if you can. minimum really 5 hours uncovered in fridge. trust me on this makes a world of difference
@@genghischuan4886 good call! Since I usually put it on at 11 pm or midnight, might as well trim it up in the afternoon and let it brine in the fridge. thanks
Getting ready to smoke my first brisket on a pellet grill. Great detail and explanations! Enjoyed your commentary! Thanks for breaking down the process!
Just wanna say thanks for teaching me how to smoke a brisket!!! It was my first time smoking anything and my first time making brisket. I may have messed up a few times during this process, but thanks to you it still came out delicious!!!! Looking forward to getting better! Thanks again!! From Canada 🇨🇦 😀
Go even longer... people don't realize how long chucks of meat like this or even pork butts cuase rest, I've done pork butts and rested for 7 hours and they're still steaming hot when I go and shred it
I am going through some health issues and they have reduced my appetite. Your enthusiasm makes me to crave food, at least long enough to sustain myself. God bless you!
I just made this exactly as you described using your products. I just placed it on the GMG for 8 hours, wrapped it for another 8 and it was EPIC. thanks. well done. I should probably also thank the Cow as well. Thanks Cow.
Malcom, I’ve been thinking about buying a pellet grill this just pushed me over the edge and it’s gonna be at my house in a week ! Thanks bud the wife’s gonna be pissed lol but I know she will like the end product
My wife just purchased me a Traeger Ironwood 885 today! I’m so happy 😁 . I get it delivered in 2 days. I downloaded the Traeger app with all its recipes. Let’s get to Smoking!!!
Note that Malcolm didn’t use the temperature probe on the traeger. It’s because the controller in Traeger isn’t reliable. Traeger is is more hype that anything. If your serious about buying a good pellet smoker get a RecTec. It will out preform a Traeger 10 to 1. That’s not an exaggeration, it’s a fact! Smoke’m if ya got’m!
@@cornbread2u2 I've had my Traeger for 3 years now with no problems, both 1 and 2 probes are within 3 degrees compared to 2 different infrared temperature sensors, and no Traeger isn't hype, they do a really great job. I know 4 others that own Traegers and they don't have the issues you talk about.
@@cornbread2u2 No issues as a 6 month Traeger owner here. Best grill purchase of my life. My whole family can't wait for me to cook on it every week. Not sure what you have heard but don't underestimate a Traeger. Just as @Charles Parr said, I have no issues whatsoever with my probes. Probe 1 and 2 nail the temps dead on for me without failure. Buy one and test it before you bash it.
Made my first brisket on my pellet smoker using this recipe and it worked to perfection. The only difference was that I didn't use his dry rub, I only used Kosher salt and 16 mesh ground pepper (equal parts of each). This brisket was mind-blowing, juicy and smoky with a great bark! I even passed the clapper test and it clapped, lol. My brisket was 12 pounds before trimming, probably cut out 1 pound of fat but left on the1/4" fat cap on the bottom so my cook time was only 14 hours, plus a 3 hour rest in a cooler. Highly recommend this to any avid pellet griller who wants to impress with a brisket that tastes and looks like it comes from a seasons pro.
This always cracks me up. "Cut em at about a quarter inch." Proceeds to cut them at a half inch. I mean I don't care how thick you want your cut, but I'm trusting this man to teach me how to make brisket and he's never seen a ruler.
Thank you Malcom. Finally a pellet grill recipe I can sink my teeth into. On the cooker at 6pm, wrap in paper at 2am, lay in the cooler at 10am..... slice for the boys at the PD Range at noon. Gonna be some happy cops sir.
Ohhhhh Baby! I did this last Friday. 10 pounder and it went just over 11 hours. Juicy, tender, gorgeous smoke ring. Malcom, this is a home run brother! No longer intimidated by brisket, but I respect it. Next up.... Tri-Tip. Oh good Lord!!
If u r a cop thank you for your hard work during these insane times. If u wanna try sumthing cool try smoking bison. Did mine 2.5 hours with traeger big game rub omg. I'm bbq chef so brisket was always a thing I want to do on this grill 16 hours traeger rub for beef was amazing. Srry so long. Agian ty
Best BBQ I have ever done. 16 lb Akashi brisket from Texas Star Grill Shop. Followed directions including the “super smoke” during the 195 deg cook. 8 hrs pulled to wrap (150 internal temp.). Pulled off after 7.5 hrs at 250(192 internal temp). Let rest for 3.5 hrs. By the end of the party not a single piece left. Everyone raved about it. On a side note, I pulled it at 190-195, based on a suggestion from a friend. Also, I trimmed the thin pieces flat more aggressively than I have in the past. Using the Akashi made a huge difference and the results were outstanding.
Malcom, this is the 3rd time i have used your video as a guide to cook some of the best BBQ i have ever eaten. I smoked a 14lb brisket for 16 hrs 8 smoke and 8 wrapped and it came out so good we had it for new year's dinner all my family raved about it and said they never had brisket that tender and full of flavor i also have been using your killer hogs rubs for all my bbq and smoking it makes it easier to make great tasting bbq thanks brother you're the man ....Mike G
I’ve been wanting to replicate this video for a while now, and I finally gave it a go yesterday. Picked up a 14lb prime packer at Sam’s club and followed Malcom’s steps meticulously. Oh my goodness, this is the best food my hands have ever been responsible for cooking. Thank you thank you THANK YOU, Malcom, for this video. This literally checked off a bucket list item for me.
Great video, thank you. Have used this instruction and have never failed. I cook it for 12-14 hours at 190 then crank it up to 250, let it sit for 2 hours. Unbelievable.
Thanks for sharing what you do differently from Malcolm’s instructions. Question: How does the 12-14hrs at 190 differ from the 8hrs at 195 Malcolm suggests?? I’m frustrated. I did mine at 200 for 8 hrs then wrapped at 250. I’m 12 hrs in and I still haven’t hit 200!
Now I know why my 1st brisket cook on my traeger wasn't smoky. I will do it this way leaving it on smoke setting for the first 8 hours before the wrap at 150 degrees. Awesome, informational cook, Malcolm! Thanks for this.
You are the best BBQ channel, I don’t care about all the science or nothing. You show us what temp, how long and what to look for as quick as possible, you tha man!

When you smoke meat, the colder the meat is, the more smoking time you will get, which equals more flavor.

Go even longer... people don't realize how long chucks of meat like this or even pork butts cuase rest, I've done pork butts and rested for 7 hours and they're still steaming hot when I go and shred it
Did my first brisket following this recipe. My family went nuts! Moist, tender and full of flavor. Thanks for the videos and encouragement. Steve
You the man Malcolm. These directions make for a perfect brisket everytime. Look at that clapper Jack!
Hey Malcolm your channel has really inspired me to BBQRight, I've learned so much from all your videos. Keep em coming big chief!
What is the brisket if like half that size? Does that change anything?
"Mmm that tastes like money!"
My Brain: he's probably smoked money and made it taste amazing
Paul Insana this comment just isn't it chief
Thank you so much followed this the first time I did a brisket and it has been perfect every time!
I am going through some health issues and they have reduced my appetite.
Your enthusiasm makes me to crave food, at least long enough to sustain myself.
God bless you!
I just made this exactly as you described using your products. I just placed it on the GMG for 8 hours, wrapped it for another 8 and it was EPIC. thanks. well done. I should probably also thank the Cow as well. Thanks Cow.
I'm trying this technique for my very first brisket on my Pit Boss pellet smoker. About to wrap it, fingers crossed it turns out this nice
How did it turn out? Going to try my first one this weekend on my PitBoss. Any suggestions?
It turned out INSANELY GOOD. Thick spicy bark and juicy from flat to point. I didn't have killer hogs so I used Twisted Q, still amazing!!!!!!
What was the temperature at your grates?
Mine runs hotter than set temp
I've watched this video several times. This video is the ultimate confidence booster for anyone with a pillet smoker
Malcom, I’ve been thinking about buying a pellet grill this just pushed me over the edge and it’s gonna be at my house in a week ! Thanks bud the wife’s gonna be pissed lol but I know she will like the end product
Mine was mad when I spent my bonus on a smoker in 2015, now she calls it the best purchase I ever made!
My wife just purchased me a Traeger Ironwood 885 today! I’m so happy 😁 . I get it delivered in 2 days. I downloaded the Traeger app with all its recipes. Let’s get to Smoking!!!
Note that Malcolm didn’t use the temperature probe on the traeger. It’s because the controller in Traeger isn’t reliable. Traeger is is more hype that anything. If your serious about buying a good pellet smoker get a RecTec. It will out preform a Traeger 10 to 1. That’s not an exaggeration, it’s a fact! Smoke’m if ya got’m!
@@cornbread2u2 I've had my Traeger for 3 years now with no problems, both 1 and 2 probes are within 3 degrees compared to 2 different infrared temperature sensors, and no Traeger isn't hype, they do a really great job. I know 4 others that own Traegers and they don't have the issues you talk about.
@@cornbread2u2 No issues as a 6 month Traeger owner here. Best grill purchase of my life. My whole family can't wait for me to cook on it every week. Not sure what you have heard but don't underestimate a Traeger. Just as @Charles Parr said, I have no issues whatsoever with my probes. Probe 1 and 2 nail the temps dead on for me without failure. Buy one and test it before you bash it.
Made my first brisket on my pellet smoker using this recipe and it worked to perfection. The only difference was that I didn't use his dry rub, I only used Kosher salt and 16 mesh ground pepper (equal parts of each). This brisket was mind-blowing, juicy and smoky with a great bark! I even passed the clapper test and it clapped, lol. My brisket was 12 pounds before trimming, probably cut out 1 pound of fat but left on the1/4" fat cap on the bottom so my cook time was only 14 hours, plus a 3 hour rest in a cooler. Highly recommend this to any avid pellet griller who wants to impress with a brisket that tastes and looks like it comes from a seasons pro.
Brotha, I did exactly as you did on my first brisket and it turned out outstanding! Thanks.
His 1/4" looks more like 3/4" slices. Not that it's a bad thing though!
This always cracks me up.
"Cut em at about a quarter inch."
Proceeds to cut them at a half inch.
I mean I don't care how thick you want your cut, but I'm trusting this man to teach me how to make brisket and he's never seen a ruler.
This is bbq not math CMON NERDS
@@TheBeefTrain D:
I’m doing my first brisket Memorial Day on my Traeger. This video is coming in CLUTCH. Thanks Malcom!
Thank you Malcom. Finally a pellet grill recipe I can sink my teeth into. On the cooker at 6pm, wrap in paper at 2am, lay in the cooler at 10am..... slice for the boys at the PD Range at noon. Gonna be some happy cops sir.
Ohhhhh Baby! I did this last Friday. 10 pounder and it went just over 11 hours. Juicy, tender, gorgeous smoke ring. Malcom, this is a home run brother! No longer intimidated by brisket, but I respect it. Next up.... Tri-Tip. Oh good Lord!!
If u r a cop thank you for your hard work during these insane times. If u wanna try sumthing cool try smoking bison. Did mine 2.5 hours with traeger big game rub omg. I'm bbq chef so brisket was always a thing I want to do on this grill 16 hours traeger rub for beef was amazing. Srry so long. Agian ty
san diego stoner , 2 1/2 hours is all? Sounds great. Never had Bison.
@@DonavanCMcCoy srry for delay. Yup it comes out great had it when I visited Utah
Did you put it on fat side up or down??
Best BBQ I have ever done. 16 lb Akashi brisket from Texas Star Grill Shop. Followed directions including the “super smoke” during the 195 deg cook. 8 hrs pulled to wrap (150 internal temp.). Pulled off after 7.5 hrs at 250(192 internal temp). Let rest for 3.5 hrs. By the end of the party not a single piece left. Everyone raved about it. On a side note, I pulled it at 190-195, based on a suggestion from a friend. Also, I trimmed the thin pieces flat more aggressively than I have in the past. Using the Akashi made a huge difference and the results were outstanding.
Malcom, this is the 3rd time i have used your video as a guide to cook some of the best BBQ i have ever eaten. I smoked a 14lb brisket for 16 hrs 8 smoke and 8 wrapped and it came out so good we had it for new year's dinner all my family raved about it and said they never had brisket that tender and full of flavor i also have been using your killer hogs rubs for all my bbq and smoking it makes it easier to make great tasting bbq thanks brother you're the man ....Mike G
We need shirts that say “Thats a clapper Jack”
I’ve been wanting to replicate this video for a while now, and I finally gave it a go yesterday. Picked up a 14lb prime packer at Sam’s club and followed Malcom’s steps meticulously. Oh my goodness, this is the best food my hands have ever been responsible for cooking. Thank you thank you THANK YOU, Malcom, for this video. This literally checked off a bucket list item for me.
"You dont get a smoke ring on a pellet smoker!" Malcolm: "Hold my beer..." 👍
I hear that all the time yet every time I smoke a pork shoulder, brisket, ribs, or whatever there's a smoke ring. Pellet haters will always hate.
@@robertm1692 Same here. I get a quarter inch smoke ring on a brisket every time.
@@MelkorHimself you're 1/4" or Malcolm's 1/4" aka 3/4" slices lol
I have been told this. But I get a smoke ring on my pellet.
I have yet to see Malcolm with a beer🤔 though I am still working through all his videos...hubby created a monster when he showed me this channel😂😂😂
Sir.... please teach me! 🙏 I can't stop watching this master cook all kinds of food on all types of pits... God bless!
I've never actually smoked or prepared a brisket at all, but after watching this video I feel like I know pretty much what I got to do. Great job!
It's pretty easy I did 1 last year. You got this
that's the thickest 1/4" inch slices i have ever seen lol.
hes a thic boi
Texas size
Right bro
No chinges guey!!!
1/2 to 3/4 slices it better have pull that thick
Malc is a cool dude though he deserves a pass on that dry brisket
an american quarter inch
@@leroygutierrez3948 Yeah I was surprised he cooked it fat side down... was a bit puzzled by that.
Great video, thank you. Have used this instruction and have never failed. I cook it for 12-14 hours at 190 then crank it up to 250, let it sit for 2 hours. Unbelievable.
Thanks for sharing what you do differently from Malcolm’s instructions. Question: How does the 12-14hrs at 190 differ from the 8hrs at 195 Malcolm suggests?? I’m frustrated. I did mine at 200 for 8 hrs then wrapped at 250. I’m 12 hrs in and I still haven’t hit 200!
Now I know why my 1st brisket cook on my traeger wasn't smoky. I will do it this way leaving it on smoke setting for the first 8 hours before the wrap at 150 degrees. Awesome, informational cook, Malcolm! Thanks for this.
If you want better smoke flavor. Do not use traeger pellets! find a brand that is made from 100% wood no fillers
You are the best BBQ channel, I don’t care about all the science or nothing. You show us what temp, how long and what to look for as quick as possible, you tha man!
I just did a brisket like this for the first time on my pellet traeger. Very happy with the results.
@@normalstreet1 fatty side up
To this day, everytime I slice into a tender brisket, I say, "That's a clapper right there, Jack"
7:18 : I'll take "Things you can say at a barbecue or a strip club" for $500, Alex.
Made me laugh out loud. Too funny.
I full on laughed out loud as well. In my eyes you win the internet today.
I can’t believe anyone gives Malcolm a thumbs down, he is BBQ
I like the simplicity. Simple is good. In this case, simple is great!
Wow this was probably the best video I've seen on Brisket, detailed and to the point, I will do exactly this next week on my Traeger, thanks Malcom.
