Holly Cow Al, I been waiting to see this video as I have a Large Green Egg. I didn't expect the outcome, I thought they would be the same. I going to buy the sloroller when I get back into my house in a month and start cooking again on my GE. I don't have any idea why this happen, if any thing, I thought the Joe would be better because it has a higher dome, but maybe it keeping the heat closer to the meat is better. Lots more testing maybe in order. I hope KZfaq allows this post to post as I haven't been able to post for a time now. Thanks for saving my GE!

Fantastic test! I think the humidity prevented it from creating a fantastic bark. I do fat side up on the Joe and still manage to get great bark. It's so humid down here that I rarely if ever use a water pan. This is just speculation obviously but I've seen some great great brisket come out of your BGE. Still looked amazing Al and I bet it tasted great too!

Welcome back Darth - interesting result with obi wan’s being drier. I too wonder if the water pan result made some sort of difference ? Didn’t see how much water was left in the Kamado - nor do we know how long it was dry in the BGE As always great vid and a bit of sauce / gravy etc can fix the dryness - hope you and the team and neighbours had a good feed

@brian2359 Жыл бұрын

Great video Al and crew!! I’m wondering if having the brisket and water pan so close to the heat on Darth, that it steam cooked the brisket making it juicier! And remember, I have no idea what I’m talking about as I don’t own either! Yet…

@carolkalmerkalmer3135 Ай бұрын

Instead of using the plate setter on my Big Green Egg I have been using the Expander set up with the pizza stone. I think the pizza stone being wider that the plate setter does a better job and I have been getting better results with ribs etc. this way. Sometimes I also put water in the drip tray that sits on the pizza stone which I think makes the food more tender .....in my opinion.

Best way I've found to cook brisket on my big green egg is to a) let the brisket catch the dirty smoke when coming up to temp. B) cook it fat side down until you foil boat, at which point you want to foil boat with fat side up. C) cook at 250-260 as I've found 275 is where the big green egg likes to have the best clean yet constant smoke and then last but not least d) 16 mesh coarse ground pepper and more than what you put on there. That pepper likes to catch the smoke flavor! After many BGE brisket cooks, this is the best way, I've found, to recreate the Texas offset smoker taste. Ps. Reason you want Temps at 250-260 and not 275 is because it is too hot since cook chamber is so small and you are trying to build the bark on the fat cap, not burn it. If done correctly the fat cap will have a beautiful tasty bark. Only issue is there will be grill marks on it, but function over form right?!

@philiprobins5488 5 ай бұрын

My Large Big Green Egg - Preheat to a steady 275 degrees. I hour prior to placing brisket on egg, coat entire brisket with thin yellow mustard base to hold salt and pepper rub. More pepper will produce a darker bark. Cook fat side up. (As the fat renders, it will baste the entire surface of the meat.) The entire cook, start to finish, should be at 275. When the cook stalls (around 160) wrap completely in double sheets of pink butcher paper. Continue the cook, fat side up, at 275 until internal temperature reaches 204 - 210. Remove and let rest (still wrapped in paper and a towel) for an hour inside an ice chest. Your brisket will come out perfect and juicy. Dry brisket? - my theory is that the hottest air is near the top of the dome. The Kamado is raised at least four inches higher than the Egg, and with just a half-wrap and the top of the brisket exposed, it dried out the flat. The Egg setup kept the meat lower and in a lower temp zone (also closer to the water pan) - (This procedure also works well with pork butts/shoulders)

@ianpaddick2003 Жыл бұрын

Can you do a double indirect on the BGE like smokin pg dad bbq does on his kj?

@ixlzz Жыл бұрын

Sometimes a piece of meat is just going to be drier than another. Also, if you wadded up some aluminum foil into three balls about 3/4 inch in diameter, placed them on top of the slow roller, in a triangle, and then placed the water pan on top of these, your water would have lasted much longer.

@CoolJay77 Жыл бұрын

Back to team green? The variation has got to be in the meat. In tests such as this one, it would have been better to split a brisket lenghtwise in order to eliminate the meat variable. You did state that KJ holds temperature better without the use of a fan. That alone gives the edge to KJ.

For every day use I use the hose that comes with the kit and connect to a 20lb propane tank which lasts so long I can’t count.

I put my Bernzomatic torch in the bottom vent facing up you can lock it on. In a minute you can see the glow from above. $40 to $50 depending on the 400o or the 8000 head that’s adjustable. Works like a champ. Also a chimney with 1 fire starter under it of a couple newspaper balls is just as good. Unless you’re using Cowboy charcoal then it will take twice as long.

Sprinkle your spices about 10-12 in above the meat. This is a universal cooking technique used by cooks/chefs/pitmasters. You get a much better distribution. Imo you don’t need a water pan in a ceramic cooker. They are so efficient and tight they hold a lot of moisture as is. You don’t want to steam the meat. You didn’t show us your outlet or smoke color. Why didn’t you add any wood? You would have had the bark you wanted if you added wood and tuned for a light smoke.
