@jamesonearth8331 11 ай бұрын

A suggestion. After you wake up, bump it up to 250 for a couple of hours. When I wake up it is usually only around 140-ish. When I go 250 I get a better bark than what you have. After 2 hours at 250, bump her up to 290/300 and by then you will be around 180 in the meat. Much better bark then I think. You can really get the fat rendered when hitting it with 290-300 and the bark gets better too:-). I took many ideas from your video, thank you! Crank up the temps IMHO. Thanks again! OMG, who am I to tell you how to cook a brisket... there are so many ways to cook a good brisket... thanks again. The over night method rocks!

I know this cook didn’t end perfectly but I’m happy to see it. I cooked on a 36 Lang for decades and loved to pellet 4 years ago. I have gotten my briskets down to an almost 95% success rate. However some briskets just want to be difficult. It was nice to see even guys I admire and love their videos have the occasional cook just come up a tad shy of perfection. Loving the foil boat method, coming from a texas guy I never thought I’d use anything but butcher paper or running naked and afraid like we did in the 90’s. I have found using g a cold smoke generator in my pellet (recteq) helps me produces a great bark. It’s not as great as running a stick but I’ve been able to fool even the most purest stick burner guys over the years. Again love the videos and how you break everything down. Can’t wait to watch the next.

@TOCBass31 7 ай бұрын

@@ryanr6240 So I use a smoke daddy PIG cold smoke generator. I had to drill a hole in the side of my RT-700 under the left side table (where the control board is). I use some chips and pellets to build a coal bed and then add in large chunks of wood to get smoke. Typically I get around 2hrs of smoke so I'll reload it once or twice to get to around 6hrs of smoke. It is perfect for cold smoking cheese, spices, and veggies. I have also built a top shelf for the RT-700 which I feel I get better smoke profiles when im cooking yup there.

8-14 hour rest is the only way I do it now. 2 main reasons to do it is you can take your brisket out just 15-30 min prior to serving so it's easier to plan and the most important reason is because the brisket is at it's most tender after that rest.

I can honestly say from experience, that you do not need a $200 brisket to get amaizing results. Even a Choice brisket can be perfect and a good choice to try different cooking methods, rubs, and brines or injections. Now, if a $200 dollar brisket isnt a big deal to you, then by all means use them, but it gets to the point to where you are buying "farm names" (brand names) instead of a cut of meat.
