Well sir...I have to say, that this was possibly the best, most enjoyable, most educational, and most entertaining, hour and forty minutes I have spent, in a long, long time! And like a number of others who follow you, I will be smoking a brisket for Independence Day. You got this video out at the PERFECT time. I have watched MANY barbecue videos over the years. Some of them better, and some worse, than others. But I have NEVER watched one as in depth, and thorough, as this one. I don't know you personally, but I feel like I have GOTTEN to know you SOME, by way of your videos. This vid is near, or AT, the top of the BBQ list. In my opinion, I believe that you were BORN to do this! I am a LOT older than you are, and probably older than most of your followers. And what I can say, is that you are what my generation called "a MAN'S MAN." Someone that OTHER men look up to, and admire. Someone who is no man's fool. A man that "represents" all of us, at our best. Call me a fanboy. Call this a bromance. Call it whatever you LIKE! What I call it, is one man, appreciating ANOTHER man, for doing what he most clearly LOVES doing. BBQ, is the (smoke) ring, that binds us. One day, I would like to be able to shake your hand, and thank you, in person...God willing. Thank you (and Mrs. Meat n' Greet,) for all of the time and effort!! Hard work DOES pay off. Happy American Independence Day!!
THIS my brother is what keeps me coming back to film more videos. Thank you isn’t nearly enough. Would be an honor to shake your hand and thank you for your support. My wife and I are grateful for quality people like you that show love to our little channel when there’s so much content out there grabbing your attention. Cheers my friend!! 🍻🙏
Oooohhhh Yeahh!! I too have watched many many BBQ videos and This One IS the Most In-depth and Informative one I have Ever seen on Briskets. Well Done and ThankYou, Sir 😊👍👍. You nailed those!
@@MeatNGreetBBQ I was surprised to see you didn't have at least 100k subs. Keep going man! You got a great start so far and your videos are better than most out there. Keep chipping away!
I’m not a Competition or professional Pitmaster. And I don’t know who this guy is, but I do watch A LOT of BBQ videos. And this is without a doubt, the most detailed, thorough and explained brisket cooking/ trimming video on RUclips. Shout out to you my man 🙌🏽
Folks…this is gona be an actual brisket masterclass. Can I tell you that your fire management video took my bbq pop to the next level…you da man(that’s my Chicago accent coming through ✊🏽)
Omg brother, I am a truck driver. I have been watching videos for five years. I’ve never experienced anything like the experience. I just experienced watching you and the love you put into the briskets and the reward you got out of it. I can tell you love what you do and I can tell you this I love watching you do it God bless you and your family, and thank you for all you do for us RUclipsrs
A Honest man showing you a honest cook. Out of all the Pitmaster I have watched over the years, I must admit Meat n' Greet is have took me to the next level of my cooking journey. A legend is born. I will always be grateful and thankful for this Masterclass.
THANKS TO THE RUclips ALGORITHM gods!!! About a week ago I started down a rabbit hole of 'how to' videos for smoking brisket and tonight the algorithm brought your video up for me and BY FAR!! this is the most thorough, detailed and engaging brisket video I've come across. The almost 2 hr video went by so quick with the way you presented everything. It was very detailed and nerdy but also still very fun and engaging, great work!! Thank you @Meat n' Greet!! I'm a rookie griller who is getting prepped to smoke his first brisket ever! I'm still a little nervous about it but with your video, I'm much more confident that it won't come out completely like 💩. Great video bro!! You got a new subscriber! 👍🏽
I came for the smoke break and left with a hat. Seriously, from a smoking novice, your thoroughness and humor make for the best smoking content. Keep it coming!
brotherman, I can speak with certainty that this video is on par if not better than the Aaron Franklin's Masterclass. I've been intimidated by briskets but have known I wanted to get into cooking them for a few years now. I'm proud to say watching the two videos on repeat really helped guide me through the process of my first cook. Your videos intuitively answer all of the questions people will encounter on their first cooks. Thank you so much for the quality content. You helped bring proper bbq to me in Canada. 🙏
We are now family. It took all day between cooking pork belly burnt ends for a buddy and delivering them. Now cooking another batch for our party along with ribs for supper. Oh ya, made brunch on the griddle, all the while watching this amazing video. If you have made brisket several times or just starting I guarantee you will pick up at least 5 amazing tips. Good work brother.
I've been grilling over 50 years. Last year I drove 150 miles to buy a good conditioned, Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Offset. After making a few tweeks, I've been smoking meats several times a month (even in Pittsburgh winter-I have a gazebo). I have been following several of the RUclips Gurus but no one has taken the time to fill in all of the gaps. I've cooked 4 briskets to date with varying degree of success. I'm doing my 5th brisket for the 4th of July and with your guidance in hand, I expect the results to be spectacular. Thanks for the love!
So much time and effort into this video, we all appreciate this. Did you ever work at a bbq joint, you know your stuff boss. Your rib recipe is my fave.
Thanks for saying this bro really appreciate your support 🙏. Never worked at a bbq restaurant before just self taught. But I have reached out to TX restaurants and offered free work 😂 haha. They never respond but if I got the chance I certainly would.
Legit straight forward, and very clear detailed instructions for smoking a good brisket! I have to add one thing. Anything you smoke, the better cut of meat you buy, the better the outcome. And most importantly, the pricier cuts show a little more mercy on rookies. They are harder to dry out or turn into beef roast because of all that marble that choice doesn't have. Even with that, learn with cheap choice brisket first! You get that right, when you buy prime it's going to be 🔥.
Thanks brother! 100% agree. This was a Sam’s club choice lol figured not everyone can stomach buying a creekstone prime for their first rodeo. Thanks for the support boss 🙏
I’ve spent 7 years studying, traveling to Texas bbq places, hung out with pitmasters picked their brains, catered events for free(they pay for meats) just to gain experience over and over again. if a video like this was produced at the start of my journey I would have probably cut out a few years and made great bbq sooner. Experience is important and teaches you how to deal with weather, unforeseen circumstances, and time management. I don’t regret it since I met a ton of great people, but ultimately this video gives you the in depth details that go from a good brisket to a great one. Attention to detail makes the difference. Phenomenal job and thank you for putting the work in. Cheers.
At the risk of repeating so many positive things that have been said previously by others, I just had to put my 2 cents in and tell you how much I really enjoyed your content. So educational, informative, entertaining, and helpful from beginning to end! KUDOS to you for the talent you have not only as a BBQ expert but as a content creator and tremendous communicator!!! Outstanding my friend!!!!! I’m going to your next video tomorrow on how to trim a brisket and Wednesday I’ll be doing my first Brisket cook!!! Thanks so much again for this amazing video!!!🙌👍🙏❤️
Probably the most comprehensive and detailed rooter-to-the-tooter instructional video on cooking brisket that I have seen yet, so bravo-zulu to you, sir. I have smoked many a brisket (and every other meat that can be smoked), but I still watch whatever I can to see if I can learn something new, whether a trick or a tip that I haven't heard before. I didn't really learn anything new from this one, but it was so comprehensive and detailed that I wanted to comment on it for anyone else just getting into the art. Well done!
Brother THANK YOU for dropping this comment. Really appreciate your support and for showing the channel some love in the comment section! Glad you enjoyed the video as well, cheers my friend 🍻
This video will be a great tool to share within the bbq community, you had my undivided attention for every single minute of the entirety of this video. Been doing bbq for 3 years and do believe you can never stop learning no matter how good you do it already. I will be coming back to this video frequently for my brisket cooks! Thank you for this gem!
Your timing could not have been any better brother! I just picked out my brisket for the 4th and can't wait to apply all the tips you have taught us from trimming to fire management to cooking and most important...feeding! Thank you so much for everything you do! God Bless!
I just watched the video, and I appreciate your love for BBQ. I learned a lot from watching your video, and I want to thank you for the lesson. I have to say I'm going to be buying a warmer. It is the key to making a brisket go from good to great. I like how you cold-smoked in the beginning. It set your smoke ring, raising the temp as the cook rolled along, rendering the fat pushing the stall. Checking every 20 minutes is a game-changer. I've learned so much. It's the best hour and forty-minute video I've watched on RUclips. This video was awesome! Thanks again; my BBQ game will be on point thanks to your lesson.
Stoked you enjoyed the video brother!!! You’ll LOVE that warmer I promise. It’s going to change your bbq forever. Thanks for supporting the channel my friend! Hope to see you around in the comments again, cheers bro 🍻
Big Frizz, you out done yourself with this one! Hands down the best brisket video out there. I have only gotten better as a pit master after watching all your videos. You’re doing the lords work. Appreciate you, brother!
I am watching this in the stall! Thanks for the informative video. I have cooked in restaurants all my life, and even used commercial smokers a ton. I still found value in this video and am thankful for your time and devotion to your viewers. From Dallas TX. Take care Bro.
This is the kinda BBQ show we need. Long. Nerdy. and delicious. Getting into the weeds is imperative for a lazy Sunday...planning your next Q session. I'm ready for the next one.
YES YOU GET IT BRO!! Haha and to think this video started off being 4 hours long with over 6 hours of content. It was a miracle my wife was able to compress it down to a digestible hour 45, she’s a saint. Thanks for the support brother means a lot!
Just in time, I just got done building my 500-gallon smoker. I wish I could show it to you. I smoked a brisket last weekend just like this, it tured out great. I also bought your brisket booster. It came in the mail today. I can't wait to try in on my next brisket cook. Keep up the awesome videos. Thanks.
So this is my second time making a brisket at one year smoking! And I’m doing two right now! 😮my lord I’m shitting bricks but this video I swear is helping so much I’m watching the multiple times as I’m cooking just to make sure I’m following directions of yours and my buddies coaching and it’s helping thank you so much brotha!!!
Wow what video if you have any interest in smoking anything watch this video, Meat n Greet is the GOAT of all videos and education. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge
Thanks for the video,,, I have learnt more from your video than all the other videos combined. This will go down as one of the best if not the best How To Do Brisket video.
My man, this is hands down the BEST bbq channel on RUclips! All these other guys are clowns. You’re actually passionate about the craft, these other clowns are just in it for show and/or for the money. I’ve watched all your videos numerous times end to end and never felt like I had to fwd. I genuinely enjoy your content. Feels like I’m hanging out with you in your backyard. Keep doing what you’re doing. Big fan here from New Jersey! Cheers brother!
Bro really appreicate this big time means a lot!! HAHA I have to stay diplomatic on the topic but you know I'll never do anything for the clout or the $$. Only here to give as much info as I can, if the money comes because of the hardwork then so be it. But ya boy is all about the craft!! Thanks for all your support bro means a lot!
@@MeatNGreetBBQ Diplomacy is definitely the right way to go. But you know how I feel lol. You’re right, if the money comes, that’s a double bonus. And it will, it’ll come hard and fast at your rate. ✊🏽
You have upped my brisket game by a factor of 100. Awesome content, really appreciate the depth of detail and length of your videos. Your passion for the Q really shines through. Keep it up.
As I have been on brisket journey for 6-7 yrs and ruined sev I appreciate this. Finally moved onto a custom offset, smaller 18” diameter, so I have found to keep temps down 15degrees is over bigger ones. One thing Id rec is please please try the thermoworks system! I have the pens also…BUT, you can have those two areas probed thru entire cook, always monitoring, can see graph for another data/perspective point. Its such a pleasant exp. Today I am going for best Ive ever made, and recapping this vid again for notes.
Also, I have resorted to using 1.5days for brisket. Ideally Id rest for 4-6hrs prob (exp would say). But that means up at 2am. So I cook like 11am-11pm then heated hold rest overnight. Ninja countertop oven reheat mode moves no fans at all and at 170 oscillates 162-174 and holds meat at like 158-160. Lunch next day is heavenly, wish I could post pics
I really enjoyed your video. Here are 4 pro tips to make your amazing brisket even better: 1) don't forget to season your sides of your brisket. 2) I highly recommend brining the brisket in 64 oz of beef brotha and 1 cup the night before. this tip comes from Myron Mixon. i found it makes a thicker smoke ring 3) Take a bread pan and smoke your beef tallow. that way it's also infused with smoke flavor. it tastes way better 4) Use meat probes in the whole time so you always know what the temp is vs having to check every 20 minutes at the end
Thanks for watching and supporting! 1. I don’t season sides of briskets. 2. Brining is the most unorthodox thing I’ve ever heard lol. I would highly advise against doing that unless you’re making corned beef/pastrami. In short, you couldn’t pay me to brine a brisket. Brining & injecting is for competing. This is back yard craft bbq here my friend. 3. I don’t like smoking beef tallow. I’ve smoked many many gallons worth of beef tallow over the last 15 years and prefer a clarified unsmoked tallow. My briskets (as most do) get enough smoke flavor. I don’t need extra from smoked tallow. Also, I prefer the texture of unsmoked tallow. 4. Meat probes are for cheaters 😅. I don’t need a meat probe and if you’ve watched my other videos I am anti meat probes. I think learning how to bbq without probes makes the most complete Pitmaster. I say all this with extreme respect. But given this is my channel in which I teach people, I wouldn’t feel comfortable subscribing to any of this advice or advocating for it, and wouldn’t pass it on to our other friends who enjoy the content. But again, really appreciate the support brother. Hope to see you around 🙏🙌
I have literally watched every smoking video out there… Never, ever… have I seen someone put onions in the fire… You sir, have produced the finest brisket masterclass out there… Well thought out, well shot, well edited… Absolute perfection all around. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again… Thanks for keeping it real and honest 🔥🔥💨💨🍻🥃
My man!!!! ALWAYS coming through with the support, can’t thank you enough boss! Super happy to hear you enjoyed the video. More to come for sure. Cheers friend 🍻🙏
I've been watching all videos having anything to do with cooking briskets for an upcoming neighborhood 4th of July get together. My man, you hit it out of the park with this video!! It'll definitely be my go to video from now on. Thank you so much for this video especially but also for all of your other great videos, they are much appreciated!!
Gary always love hearing from you my friend. Thank you for supporting the channel. You’re going to crush your brisket cook this 4th!! Cheers brother 🇺🇸🍻
Alright sir!!! I began watching your videos a couple weeks ago with your fire management video. Man... was phenomenal for my fire management to be more efficient. Always looking to learn and improve my game and you have given me new insight. Love the passion and enthusiasm. You have been a game changer for me. Thank you for your work!!!
Bro!!! Of the hook!! Thank you so much for taking your time. Been following for a while!! I live in a small island , Puerto Rico, and I luv BBQ and low & slow smoking. My brisket game has amped up a lot. Grateful for your time once again
The temp of the meat determines how much smoke the meat will take on. Once the meat reaches a certain temp, that chemical reaction that creates the smoke ring stops. The colder the meat is when it starts taking on smoke, the more smoke flavor it will absorb and larger the smoke ring
While I appreciate your insights brother I must say, smoke ring is probably the last concern on a list of 1,000 concerns as it pertains to brisket quality.
Dude this video is great advice. Keep being humble and dedicated as you are. Cheers to you and your wife my friend! Again thanks for taking your time to share your craft with us.❤
Thank you so much for this and the brisket trimming video. I’m new to smoking meat, I’ve screwed up 2 other briskets (badly) using other videos before I found yours. I just finished my 3rd attempt at a Brisket and it was incredible. My brisket looked night and day different from the last one after using your trimming video. I used my Komado Joe and Im so happy with how it turned out. Thanks again, you’re the man.
Big Frizz- youve done it again. Having cooked my fair share of briskets, one thing i know is there is ALWAYS something we can gain from other experiences. I personally dont like using a binder. Not opposed to it in anyway, i just dont know that ive ever felt it add something. However your Mustard and pickle juice binder got my brain GOIN! As always, your content is killer, and always entertaining. But most importantly i can feel your realism, personality, and passion come through in these very thoughtful productions. Thank you Mr and Mrs Meat n greet!
EPIC COMMENT!! As ALWAYS bro thank you for showing love. Stoked you enjoyed the video. And excited I got the wheels spinning on the binder. I promise you’ll see your rub latch onto the brisket more efficiently 😅. Thanks for supporting big dog. Cheers 🍻
@MeatNGreetBBQ no for sure I'm rethinking my entire stance on binders. I never tend to have issues with my rub sticking. I tend to wait for the meat sweats to start grabbing onto the rub. But lately I've had a couple cooks puzzle me a bit. I think I need to dial back the temps a bit in the beginning stages and, well, give my rub a headstart at that conversion. Keep it up!
I been here for every single second of it!! Amazing!!! Big ups from Houston brother!!! That bite for the taste test, I know that was heaven!!! Thank you very much!!!
I really learned from this video!! It felt like we were talking not you talking at me like other YT videos!! I know my way around the pit but always good to learn more. Thanks Brother!!!
Have been watching your videos the last little bit (including this one). This might be the most underrated bbq page on RUclips (and I've watched most of them) and it's just getting started. Thanks for the exceptional attention to detail, continuing to learn as always!
@MeatNGreetBBQ no. Truly, thank you! I just bought my first offset smoker about a month ago. My first cook was a brisket and it was amazing, but I'm always looking to up my game. Your videos are awesome and explain things really well. And honestly, one of my favorite aspects is how humble you are about it all.
Dude. I love your videos! Can we please get a shirt or hat or something that says, "the best bite of BBQ is the next bite of BBQ" and/or also, "you are one with your meat." or something like that? Seriously though, your content is top notch. please keep it up! Thanks.
What a symphony. Been waiting a while for this video to drop and it was well worth it. Thanks for providing all this knowledge and putting it into a long format video.
I loved the video, great entertainment as well as very educational. I have only smoked 2 briskets in my life and the were both within the last 7 weeks, one for family and one in my first BBQ Competition. After watching 3 of your videos I am ready to attack my 3rd and put the tips I got from you into it. You did an awesome job on the video!
I will be cooking a brisket this Friday. Looking forward to trying these techniques on my backyard smoker, a Brazos. Your videos have really helped kick my bbq up a notch or two!
loved this video!!! I have needed a more informative video on this. I have been smoking meat for about a year and a half. I have never done a brisket. I just did some pour mans brisket and I think I over cooked it. I wish I would have seen this two days ago!! keep the videos coming brother!! Your part of my fam at this point!! Cheers, drinking bud and Jack!! Smoking spirits not cigars!!
Brisket came out pretty good, followed all of your steps. I just accidently messed up my fire at hour 7ish and got it too hot, I replenished all 4 logs when I shouldn't have since the temp was already steady but next time , it should come out even better because I won't make that fire mistake!
Much needed video for me my man. I definitely learned a ton. Most importantly I learned that a brisket could be done before 203 or 205 degrees. Ive tempted my briskets at 190 or 195 and they were very tender but I always thought that I had to take them higher and always overcooked them when I did. Hey thanks for the awesome video and knowledge!
Glad you enjoyed the video my friend. Man that concept took me some time to learn and really believe. Learning to trust feel has gone a long way. Thanks for the support bro! Cheers 🍻
great tutorial, I really enjoyed the detailed tips you shared! but honestly, I feel like low and slow isn’t the only way to do brisket. sometimes, a hot and fast method can yield some amazing results too-what do others think?
great video, very informative and well-produced! i must say though, while i appreciate the low and slow method, i personally prefer a slightly hotter cook for my brisket. it gives it that nice crust i love. curious to see what others think!
Great video man. I’m taking a few tips from this video to try for sure. Your fire management video from a while back definitely helped me out when cooking multiple cuts of meat on our big offset smoker. Now I’m trying to learn my new cabinet smoker and sometimes it’s a head scratcher. Thanks for keeping it going.
Well sir...I have to say, that this was possibly the best, most enjoyable, most educational, and most entertaining, hour and forty minutes I have spent, in a long, long time! And like a number of others who follow you, I will be smoking a brisket for Independence Day. You got this video out at the PERFECT time.

This video will be a great tool to share within the bbq community, you had my undivided attention for every single minute of the entirety of this video. Been doing bbq for 3 years and do believe you can never stop learning no matter how good you do it already. I will be coming back to this video frequently for my brisket cooks! Thank you for this gem!
You da man!! Thanks bro 👊
I’m new to smoking and this was a great watch and learn! I’m ready now for my first brisket ! Thanks
Let’s gooo!! You got this!
Excellent breakdown! I believe you are the first one to do it!! I'll be rewatching this multiple times
Right on thanks brother!
This man deserves more followers. I can tell you spend a lot of time making these videos and it shows. Keep it up. 👍🏽
Your timing could not have been any better brother! I just picked out my brisket for the 4th and can't wait to apply all the tips you have taught us from trimming to fire management to cooking and most important...feeding! Thank you so much for everything you do! God Bless!
That’s what I’m talking about!! You’re going to crush this brisket cook my friend! Hope you enjoy the video and as always thanks for the support
I just watched the video, and I appreciate your love for BBQ. I learned a lot from watching your video, and I want to thank you for the lesson. I have to say I'm going to be buying a warmer. It is the key to making a brisket go from good to great. I like how you cold-smoked in the beginning. It set your smoke ring, raising the temp as the cook rolled along, rendering the fat pushing the stall. Checking every 20 minutes is a game-changer. I've learned so much. It's the best hour and forty-minute video I've watched on RUclips. This video was awesome! Thanks again; my BBQ game will be on point thanks to your lesson.
Stoked you enjoyed the video brother!!! You’ll LOVE that warmer I promise. It’s going to change your bbq forever. Thanks for supporting the channel my friend! Hope to see you around in the comments again, cheers bro 🍻
Big Frizz, you out done yourself with this one! Hands down the best brisket video out there. I have only gotten better as a pit master after watching all your videos. You’re doing the lords work. Appreciate you, brother!
There he is!!! Appreciate the love bro 🙏🙏 stoked you enjoyed the video. Appreciate YOU big dog, more content to come for sure 🍻
I am new to brisket, and I have watched several videos, but none as good as this one.
Thank you for this experience
This is the best brisket video on RUclips and possibly the best bbq channel.
This was by far the”THE BEST” “how-to” cook a brisket video on the internet. My fellow brother from Missouri, you have got it going on!!!
My man!! Always showing love to the channel thank you brother. Glad you enjoyed the video. SHOWME STATE STAND UP!!! 🤠
Bro, i followed this step by step and cracked the code. Thank you so much from me and many future generations of mouths to taste this amazing food
I am watching this in the stall! Thanks for the informative video. I have cooked in restaurants all my life, and even used commercial smokers a ton. I still found value in this video and am thankful for your time and devotion to your viewers. From Dallas TX. Take care Bro.
Thanks for the support brother!!
This is the kinda BBQ show we need. Long. Nerdy. and delicious. Getting into the weeds is imperative for a lazy Sunday...planning your next Q session. I'm ready for the next one.
YES YOU GET IT BRO!! Haha and to think this video started off being 4 hours long with over 6 hours of content. It was a miracle my wife was able to compress it down to a digestible hour 45, she’s a saint. Thanks for the support brother means a lot!
@@MeatNGreetBBQ yes sir. I’d watch 4 hours. lol. Bless your wife! Tell her thank you! Cheers!
Love your style man , hugs from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️😊
Thanks bro, spread the love and the good eats! 🇨🇦
Bought an old rusty smoker recently which I'm still restoring. Will save this for later!
Now that’s what I’m talking about! Gotta love an old rusty smoker project. Hope your enjoy boss give me a shout if I can help with anything!
This absolutely has to be THE VERY BEST video on brisket and the love of crafting this cut of meat I've ever seen. Bravo brother! Thank you!
Wow, thank you brother!
Just in time, I just got done building my 500-gallon smoker. I wish I could show it to you. I smoked a brisket last weekend just like this, it tured out great. I also bought your brisket booster. It came in the mail today. I can't wait to try in on my next brisket cook. Keep up the awesome videos. Thanks.
So this is my second time making a brisket at one year smoking! And I’m doing two right now! 😮my lord I’m shitting bricks but this video I swear is helping so much I’m watching the multiple times as I’m cooking just to make sure I’m following directions of yours and my buddies coaching and it’s helping thank you so much brotha!!!
Best tutorial Brisket video out hand down, can someone give him a medal? 🥇
Yes, the best, and the best spoken video I've seen. Best explained video out there.
Thank you brother really appreciate that!
@MeatNGreetBBQ , hey, I ordered your rub, but, have yet to use it. Can't wait though!
Wow what video if you have any interest in smoking anything watch this video, Meat n Greet is the GOAT of all videos and education. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge
Let’s goooo!! Thanks bro
Thanks for the video,,, I have learnt more from your video than all the other videos combined. This will go down as one of the best if not the best How To Do Brisket video.
Found this video in the middle of my cook. This helps tremendously. Wish I saw this before I started to cook
Heck yea!! Stoked you enjoyed’
My man, this is hands down the BEST bbq channel on RUclips! All these other guys are clowns. You’re actually passionate about the craft, these other clowns are just in it for show and/or for the money. I’ve watched all your videos numerous times end to end and never felt like I had to fwd. I genuinely enjoy your content. Feels like I’m hanging out with you in your backyard. Keep doing what you’re doing. Big fan here from New Jersey! Cheers brother!
Bro really appreicate this big time means a lot!! HAHA I have to stay diplomatic on the topic but you know I'll never do anything for the clout or the $$. Only here to give as much info as I can, if the money comes because of the hardwork then so be it. But ya boy is all about the craft!! Thanks for all your support bro means a lot!
@@MeatNGreetBBQ Diplomacy is definitely the right way to go. But you know how I feel lol. You’re right, if the money comes, that’s a double bonus. And it will, it’ll come hard and fast at your rate. ✊🏽
@WhiteEvora400 I know exactly how you feel fam 😅. Appreciate that big time!! Cheers brother 🍻
I have never seen anything like this and this is my favorite channel.
You have upped my brisket game by a factor of 100.
Awesome content, really appreciate the depth of detail and length of your videos. Your passion for the Q really shines through.
Keep it up.
Much appreciated fam! 🙏
Watched a lot of brisket videos, by far my brother you nailed it. Thank you, I feel comfortable cooking my brisket. Thank you my friend
THE TIME HAS COME!!!! The Man himself has dropped the knowledge!!!! This is going to be awesome, THANK YOU!!!
Hope you enjoy brother thanks for all
The support
@@MeatNGreetBBQ Anytime, brother! You're the man, never forget!
As I have been on brisket journey for 6-7 yrs and ruined sev I appreciate this. Finally moved onto a custom offset, smaller 18” diameter, so I have found to keep temps down 15degrees is over bigger ones.
One thing Id rec is please please try the thermoworks system! I have the pens also…BUT, you can have those two areas probed thru entire cook, always monitoring, can see graph for another data/perspective point. Its such a pleasant exp. Today I am going for best Ive ever made, and recapping this vid again for notes.
Also, I have resorted to using 1.5days for brisket. Ideally Id rest for 4-6hrs prob (exp would say). But that means up at 2am. So I cook like 11am-11pm then heated hold rest overnight. Ninja countertop oven reheat mode moves no fans at all and at 170 oscillates 162-174 and holds meat at like 158-160. Lunch next day is heavenly, wish I could post pics
Best of the Best of the Best!! Perfect Wiggle Texas Brisket: Looking forward to my Smoke Break.
Excellent video, very informative. I’ve been holding off smoking a brisket but I feel I’m ready now.
This video answered a few issues I have with bark and fire management, Great video Thank you Sir!
Thanks for the support bro glad the video was helpful 🙏
Thanks for taking the time to do this. Truly amazing.
Thanks for taking the time to watch brother, your support means a lot!
I really enjoyed your video. Here are 4 pro tips to make your amazing brisket even better:
1) don't forget to season your sides of your brisket.
2) I highly recommend brining the brisket in 64 oz of beef brotha and 1 cup the night before. this tip comes from Myron Mixon. i found it makes a thicker smoke ring
3) Take a bread pan and smoke your beef tallow. that way it's also infused with smoke flavor. it tastes way better
4) Use meat probes in the whole time so you always know what the temp is vs having to check every 20 minutes at the end
Thanks for watching and supporting!
1. I don’t season sides of briskets.
2. Brining is the most unorthodox thing I’ve ever heard lol. I would highly advise against doing that unless you’re making corned beef/pastrami. In short, you couldn’t pay me to brine a brisket. Brining & injecting is for competing. This is back yard craft bbq here my friend.
3. I don’t like smoking beef tallow. I’ve smoked many many gallons worth of beef tallow over the last 15 years and prefer a clarified unsmoked tallow. My briskets (as most do) get enough smoke flavor. I don’t need extra from smoked tallow. Also, I prefer the texture of unsmoked tallow.
4. Meat probes are for cheaters 😅. I don’t need a meat probe and if you’ve watched my other videos I am anti meat probes. I think learning how to bbq without probes makes the most complete Pitmaster.
I say all this with extreme respect. But given this is my channel in which I teach people, I wouldn’t feel comfortable subscribing to any of this advice or advocating for it, and wouldn’t pass it on to our other friends who enjoy the content.
But again, really appreciate the support brother. Hope to see you around 🙏🙌
I have literally watched every smoking video out there… Never, ever… have I seen someone put onions in the fire… You sir, have produced the finest brisket masterclass out there… Well thought out, well shot, well edited… Absolute perfection all around. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again… Thanks for keeping it real and honest 🔥🔥💨💨🍻🥃
My man!!!! ALWAYS coming through with the support, can’t thank you enough boss! Super happy to hear you enjoyed the video. More to come for sure. Cheers friend 🍻🙏
@@MeatNGreetBBQ 🍻 Brother! Looking forward to more quality BBQ content! 🔥🔥👊🏻
I've been watching all videos having anything to do with cooking briskets for an upcoming neighborhood 4th of July get together. My man, you hit it out of the park with this video!! It'll definitely be my go to video from now on. Thank you so much for this video especially but also for all of your other great videos, they are much appreciated!!
Gary always love hearing from you my friend. Thank you for supporting the channel. You’re going to crush your brisket cook this 4th!! Cheers brother 🇺🇸🍻
Alright sir!!! I began watching your videos a couple weeks ago with your fire management video. Man... was phenomenal for my fire management to be more efficient. Always looking to learn and improve my game and you have given me new insight. Love the passion and enthusiasm. You have been a game changer for me. Thank you for your work!!!
Appreciate you big dog. Thanks for the support
Bro!!! Of the hook!! Thank you so much for taking your time. Been following for a while!!
I live in a small island , Puerto Rico, and I luv BBQ and low & slow smoking. My brisket game has amped up a lot. Grateful for your time once again
Appreciate the support bro!
New to your channel, doing my first brisket tomorrow. I appreciate your hard work to teach us newbies. Ted from Virginia
The temp of the meat determines how much smoke the meat will take on. Once the meat reaches a certain temp, that chemical reaction that creates the smoke ring stops. The colder the meat is when it starts taking on smoke, the more smoke flavor it will absorb and larger the smoke ring
While I appreciate your insights brother I must say, smoke ring is probably the last concern on a list of 1,000 concerns as it pertains to brisket quality.
Dude this video is great advice. Keep being humble and dedicated as you are. Cheers to you and your wife my friend! Again thanks for taking your time to share your craft with us.❤
Thank you so much for this and the brisket trimming video. I’m new to smoking meat, I’ve screwed up 2 other briskets (badly) using other videos before I found yours.
I just finished my 3rd attempt at a Brisket and it was incredible. My brisket looked night and day different from the last one after using your trimming video. I used my Komado Joe and Im so happy with how it turned out.
Thanks again, you’re the man.
YES BRO!!! That’s what I’m talking about 🍻
Big Frizz- youve done it again. Having cooked my fair share of briskets, one thing i know is there is ALWAYS something we can gain from other experiences. I personally dont like using a binder. Not opposed to it in anyway, i just dont know that ive ever felt it add something. However your Mustard and pickle juice binder got my brain GOIN!
As always, your content is killer, and always entertaining. But most importantly i can feel your realism, personality, and passion come through in these very thoughtful productions.
Thank you Mr and Mrs Meat n greet!
EPIC COMMENT!! As ALWAYS bro thank you for showing love. Stoked you enjoyed the video. And excited I got the wheels spinning on the binder. I promise you’ll see your rub latch onto the brisket more efficiently 😅.
Thanks for supporting big dog. Cheers 🍻
@MeatNGreetBBQ no for sure I'm rethinking my entire stance on binders. I never tend to have issues with my rub sticking. I tend to wait for the meat sweats to start grabbing onto the rub. But lately I've had a couple cooks puzzle me a bit. I think I need to dial back the temps a bit in the beginning stages and, well, give my rub a headstart at that conversion.
Keep it up!
Wish I had watched this video two days ago before I overcooked my brisket yesterday! Will definitely implement a lot of the lessons i learned here.
Now you have a reason to roll some more briskets 😅
Damn, this was excellent. I watched it at work on nightshift 🤫. You’re a natural teacher brother. God bless
I won’t tell anyone your secrets safe with me haha. Thanks for the support brother. God bless 🙏🙏
Mad props on this and every video you post. Love the way you explain every detail. Keep up the great content. I'm sharing with all my BBQ buds👍🏽
Bro can’t thank you enough for the support and the warm feedback. Means more than you know! Cheers brother 🍻
I been here for every single second of it!! Amazing!!! Big ups from Houston brother!!! That bite for the taste test, I know that was heaven!!! Thank you very much!!!
My man! Appreciate all your support ad always big dog 🙏
I really learned from this video!! It felt like we were talking not you talking at me like other YT videos!! I know my way around the pit but always good to learn more. Thanks Brother!!!
Have been watching your videos the last little bit (including this one). This might be the most underrated bbq page on RUclips (and I've watched most of them) and it's just getting started. Thanks for the exceptional attention to detail, continuing to learn as always!
Man can’t thank you enough for taking the time to support. Means a lot bro!
Thank you, is not enough!!! I truly appreciate your time and dedication. Your instruction is 2nd to none! Thanks BIG FRIZZZ !!!!!
My brother thank YOU!! Wouldn’t be able to do it without your support!
Great information and well said. This will help me make a lot of my friends and family happy. God bless.
Just started watching and I'm so excited for this video! Congrats on the rub!!!
Thanks bro really appreciate it! Hope you enjoy 🙏🍻
@MeatNGreetBBQ no. Truly, thank you! I just bought my first offset smoker about a month ago. My first cook was a brisket and it was amazing, but I'm always looking to up my game. Your videos are awesome and explain things really well. And honestly, one of my favorite aspects is how humble you are about it all.
@@WhitetailVigilantesyou’re the man!! Really appreciate the support bro. Stoked you got bit by the bbq bug no going back now 😅😂
Love the channel. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to cook my next brisket
Thanks family, appreciate the support!
Dude. I love your videos! Can we please get a shirt or hat or something that says, "the best bite of BBQ is the next bite of BBQ" and/or also, "you are one with your meat." or something like that? Seriously though, your content is top notch. please keep it up! Thanks.
What a symphony. Been waiting a while for this video to drop and it was well worth it. Thanks for providing all this knowledge and putting it into a long format video.
Thanks for your patience brother! And thank you for supporting the channel 🙏
I loved the video, great entertainment as well as very educational. I have only smoked 2 briskets in my life and the were both within the last 7 weeks, one for family and one in my first BBQ Competition. After watching 3 of your videos I am ready to attack my 3rd and put the tips I got from you into it. You did an awesome job on the video!
Hey brother! Thanks four your support. Hopefully the brisket booster made it your way this time? Also how did the competition go?
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I am about to watch this for the 4th time. You really cover a lot of ground.
I will be cooking a brisket this Friday. Looking forward to trying these techniques on my backyard smoker, a Brazos. Your videos have really helped kick my bbq up a notch or two!
Glad you enjoyed the video brother. Brazil is a freakin unit! Heck of a smoker there, enjoy 🍻
This is the best video I've seen in a long time! Way to go brother! Thank you for putting this out.
Means a lot bro thank you!!
Wow. I learned alot. I know I'm gonna make some mistakes on my first probably few briskets. I've been too scared to mess up. But imma gonna try now.
Amazing Video Thank you for sharing. You are a master of the Pit for sure. I’m dying to try this
loved this video!!! I have needed a more informative video on this. I have been smoking meat for about a year and a half. I have never done a brisket. I just did some pour mans brisket and I think I over cooked it. I wish I would have seen this two days ago!! keep the videos coming brother!! Your part of my fam at this point!! Cheers, drinking bud and Jack!! Smoking spirits not cigars!!
Thank you so much for these videos. I have learned so much, you are a really good teacher & Pit Master. 🙌🏽💕💕💕
Bro you did your thing with this video !! I appreciate the time and effort you put into this video. I truly learned alot
This video was well worth the wait. Ever since you started your channel this was the one I knew was coming. BRAVO!!
Wow, thanks!
Gotta say, been smoking briskets for a long time, and this video is great. Great personality and great video, keep up the good work.
Wish I could like this more than once. Watched every second and learned a lot. Thank you
Wow AWESOME video my man. I can't wait to try smoking my first brisket like this! Thank you!
Brisket came out pretty good, followed all of your steps. I just accidently messed up my fire at hour 7ish and got it too hot, I replenished all 4 logs when I shouldn't have since the temp was already steady but next time , it should come out even better because I won't make that fire mistake!
Way to keep it interesting while still giving detailed information. Well Done (no pun intended)
Much appreciated bro!! Pun is spot on btw 😅😂
Much needed video for me my man. I definitely learned a ton. Most importantly I learned that a brisket could be done before 203 or 205 degrees. Ive tempted my briskets at 190 or 195 and they were very tender but I always thought that I had to take them higher and always overcooked them when I did. Hey thanks for the awesome video and knowledge!
Glad you enjoyed the video my friend. Man that concept took me some time to learn and really believe. Learning to trust feel has gone a long way. Thanks for the support bro! Cheers 🍻
What kind of Masterclass I just saw... thank you and greetings!
After years of bbq, I've found my new starter kit video guy. Thanks!!!!
My man!! Appreciate that big time 🙏
Very comprehensive video, which is appreciated.
This will be my holy grail of bbq. Thanks my dude 🍖 much love!
This was extremely good, very informative and engaging. I really enjoyed it.
Great barbecue lesson. I will definitely be using it on my next brisket
great tutorial, I really enjoyed the detailed tips you shared! but honestly, I feel like low and slow isn’t the only way to do brisket. sometimes, a hot and fast method can yield some amazing results too-what do others think?
great video, very informative and well-produced! i must say though, while i appreciate the low and slow method, i personally prefer a slightly hotter cook for my brisket. it gives it that nice crust i love. curious to see what others think!
Great video man. I’m taking a few tips from this video to try for sure. Your fire management video from a while back definitely helped me out when cooking multiple cuts of meat on our big offset smoker. Now I’m trying to learn my new cabinet smoker and sometimes it’s a head scratcher. Thanks for keeping it going.
I think I just found my new favorite channel. Truly incredible video. God bless!
Welcome aboard!
