Brisket on the Masterbuilt start to finish

  • This is a video I made with my daughter Meredith. We showed our method of smoking a brisket, start to finish. The brisket was a little larger than I would normally like, but we had to work with what was available. Looking back on it, I should have left a little more fat to help with moisture in the meat.

    i always thought you want to get the smoke rolling before you put the meat in? I did one yesterday and it literally took an hour before it started to smoke, I like the smoke to get into the raw meat before it starts to cook.

    • @LifewithFrank
      @LifewithFrank  2 года назад

      Thanks for watching! It shouldn't take an hour to get smoke rolling. Typically within 20ish min or so is all thats needed. Maybe try less fuel the next time and then add to it once you get some smoke rolling. Keep at it!

    Utterly confused. Just did one today. Had the same experience time wise as I have had with pork butts. The brisket was about 8 pounds. The door thermometer said I had it about 210-220 degree. It cooked in 4 hours. Much, much faster than it was supposed to. It tasted great. The tenderness was great. Our experience with the results of the 2 or 3 pork butts was not as good. I didn't monitor the temp inside the smoker with a digital thermometer today. I did in the past and the door thermometer seemed accurate enough.
    The other thing I do is I put a shallow pan on top of the water and wood chips I put quite a bit of moist wood chips in that. That seems to give the meat a lot smokier of a flavor. But I don't understand why it's cooking so fast compare to what is expected. I'm not the type of cook that can cook a 1 minute egg in 45 seconds.... that's my wife:)

    • @LifewithFrank
      @LifewithFrank  6 лет назад +1

      Karl H thanks for watching! Funny you mention what you did. A co worker of mine had the same thing happen to him. The only difference is that his smoker is electric and also much smaller than mine. -My thought is that the heat is much more steady in a smaller cooker.
      An 8 pound brisket also somewhat small and may cook rather quickly, especially if you are cooking the point side.
      That said, smoking brisket (and pork shoulders) I think is an art and everyone will find their own way. Keep cooking and you will find your groove.

      @@davidpike2334 I'm one to believe that large cuts of meat like a brisket can only take on soo much smoke, especially in a cooker like a Masterbuilt where a wood fire isn't the source of heat, rather the burner is the source of heat.

      Also, what if you don't want it to smoke the whole time? Say you're doing a Boston butt and you want to smoke half the time, then maintain the temp for the other half without smoke. Do you just let the gas run?

      David R sorry about the confusion- so I typically just put my air temp probe on the same grate that the meat is on, somewhere. Never anywhere specific.
      Also, you do not have to smoke the entire time. Just let the gas run for heat.

      No charcoal, not enough NO2. "Smoke rings" are created when NO2 is absorbed into the moist meat surface and reacts to form nitrous acid. Does nothing for the flavor.

    • @LifewithFrank
      @LifewithFrank  6 лет назад

      Gen3Benz I’ve cooked lots of food in the masterbuilt and have enjoyed lots of great smoke rings. I think part of the problem on this smoke is that I used considerably less smoke than usual. The guests I was serving are a little more conservative when it comes to heavy smoke flavor. Thanks for watching!
