  • You know every time you sacrifice a brisket on purpose, a unicorn loses it’s horn. You evil, evil man.

    Soooo,... my very 1st brisket was not horrible but not great, the point was edible. After watching this video, I brought my 2nd brisket, a USDA Prime packer, and followed as many of your rules/tips that applied to my meat selection and cooking method, and WOW what a difference! My brisket was moist, tender, juicy, the bark was perfect and the smoke ring was AMAZING! It looked exactly like the briskets I have seen other professionals cook and the taste was exactly how I imagined a great brisket would taste. I had a nirvana moment the minute I tasted it. The meat was perfectly seasoned and not overdone and I finally understand how the probe test works when testing for tenderness. There was some trepidation on when to pull it and wrap, but if you follow the rules, it is absolutely possible to make a delicious brisket - just like me. A million thank yous to you, sir. $120 later,... I finally got it!

    Unbelievable ! This video should be required watching for anyone who buys a smoker . Bravo !
  • @dsmonroe63
    I actually cooked a brisket last night and watched this video I was doing it. I learned some very helpful tips. My brisket turned out great and I don’t think I actually checked the temp once! Thanks so much.
  • My friend, I have a bullet, an offset and a Traeger and hands down this is the best video ever on smoking a brisket. I have committed many of the offences you mentioned b4 and hope others learn from this video. Well done
  • @yingadinger
    Just watched this for the second time, the first being 6 months ago; wow, what a difference it makes watching before you attempt a brisket and then after screwing up 10! It made so much more sense the second go around. I highly recommend newbies to go back and watch again after actually smoking briskets; there is a lot of content in this and a lot of WORK! Thank YOU Mr Gow
  • @DankNSpank
    Very informative! I've found that most of these tips are applicable to smoking in general, not just brisket.
  • Brooooo ! this is and amazing course its not just a video , may god bless you
  • @jlopez47
    I've kept multiple briskets at a time in a freezer for a month or two before cooking them. They still turn out great. Any moisture concerns can be addressed easily by using prime grade briskets or better.

    I wish you had made this video about 10 years ago, it would have saved a few headaches along the way. It contains many excellent tips and tricks for people just starting their brisket journey and is well worth the hour or so to watch.
