HOW TO SMOKE BRISKET

Finally someone in BBQ who not only understands chemistry, but explains it simply!

I successfully smoked my first brisket yesterday. Now I know how Alexander the Great felt when, "he wept because there were no more worlds left to conquer"

About a month ago, after searching how to cook my first brisket, I landed on your page, followed it to the T, and smoked it on my Kamado Big Joe III. The brisket came out incredible, even my 16-year-old daughter that likes nothing loved it. I Hope my second brisket this weekend is going to be as good as the first. But I will look at this video again and again. Thank you for your detailed video.

Dear Mad Scientist, I've been watching all your videos. This video I watched maybe a dozen times already. Out of all the YouTube tutorials on smoking brisket yours were the ones I kept coming back to. You explain everything in great detail and that really helps me as one who's never smoked anything so I'm very greatful for these videos. This past weekend I bought my parents a smoker (bc I can't have one in my apartment). I got them the Oklahoma Joe's offset smoker. Then I searched every Costco in my area for a whole brisket - a lot of them just had flats. Anyway, I finally found a brisket and got excited to start smoking it. 14 hours later and omg it came out pretty damn good for my first cook. My family was impressed and I couldn't have done it without your videos. So I just wanted to say thank you for the work you put into making these videos 😊

Gotta say... Best video on Brisket I've seen, I appreciate you giving us the "WHY", other videos just say "DO THIS, DO THAT" but no reason behind the method. You are teaching and that's what first timers like me NEED. Excellent video again I appreciate the lesson

I've done MANY MANY briskets before and I absolutely loved this video. My first time seeing it. His explanations are very thorough and he produced a delicious product. My profession is chemistry so this sat very well with me! No matter the skill level, keeping yourself engulfed in the fundamentals will always keep you at the top of your bbq game. Brother you have a new subscriber!

I have to say with the help of this video I smoked the best brisket I’ve ever eaten this weekend! It was so amazing. Great bark, the fat rendered perfectly. It truly blew me away. Thank you so much for doing these videos! Seasoned salt garlic powder and pepper was all I used for a rub. No binder no tallow still just amazing.

Excellent video, worth watching the whole 40 minutes. I have watched a lot of videos on smoking brisket and yours was the most informative. Thanks for all of the great info. The pre-cook single cut tip against the grain to serve as a post cook cutting guide is simple but genius. Top shelf.

Bruh if my chemistry teacher had used brisket I’d probably be a scientist

Ive been smoking briskets for a long time but still enjoy hearing certain things explained and broken down the way you do. Keep up the great work.

Thank you for your tips! Watched this video 3 times this week and took notes. Smoked my first brisket yesterday for my wife’s birthday and it came out amazing!

Great cook, and wonderful advice! I have been over-trimming my deckle and under-trimming my flat. You’re doing the BBQ community right! Thanks

I cooked my first brisket today on my new smoker. I trimmed, seasoned and cooked the brisket according to your guidelines. It turned out amazing! Thank you for posting this very helpful video.

I want to thank you, I screwed up 3 brisket before I tried your method & this by far was the best brisket I ever made!

Thank you for all the tips. I smoked my first brisket over the weekend and it was phenomenal. I've got notes for next time, as well as some more supplies i need for the next cook (namely butcher paper). I didn't quite get a bark on it but the smoke ring got to penetrate nicely. I'll be going through the rest of the catalogue

It's cool to see this vid after already watching your newer ones and seeing how your methods and quality have changed. Can't wait make my first brisket!

Hi Jeremy, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you making videos and sharing your knowledge. I have a lot of respect for you to pull down your older video as your methods have changed and are only showing the current methods being used. You're missing out on some revenue comming in by doing so and again, ton of respect. It showed your passion to teach us what you've learned. Are you by chance a teacher? Just curious. I'm relatively knew to smoking meat and can tell you my methods have changed SO much over a year, just like you stated. Some things I use to focus on I realize aren't important and other things I never even thought about I find are extremely important. Just think of what we will be doing in five years from now.... love your in depth videos and I for one love the longer videos. I'm here to learn as much as possible so please keep on doing your thing buddy! Have a great day

mate - that was awesome! you're just what I've been looking for in terms of learning more about bbq cooking. I really enjoy learning why, not just how. legend! thanks so much. I'm going to try a brisket now you've inspired me. cheers

Thank you for the attention to detail I have not seen in other videos. I smoked my first brisket a few months ago and got good results. I think this video will help me do much better with my next cook.

What I like the most about your videos is that you are not just saying what to do but you are also explaining why you're doing it that way.
