Brisket with Truth Barbeque
I've been lucky enough to build amazing relationships with some of the top pitmasters in the world. In this Meat the Masters series I have convinced them to share some of their best kept secrets with you guys.
In this episode, my buddy Leonard Botello IV, owner of Truth Barbeque shows you all his secrets to making an amazing brisket. If you are not familiar with Truth Barbecue, they are currently ranked #3 on the coveted Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ Joints list. This is a huge accomplishment in of itself. However, when you add in the fact that Truth operates two locations (Houston & Brenham), this is an even more amazing accomplishment as it shows they have been able to maintain that craft BBQ quality while operating multiple restaurants.
Leonard doesn't hold back any secrets in this brisket video video as he shows you exactly how they make brisket at Truth on their 1,000 gallon Mill Scale offset smoker. Next time you are in Houston or Brenham be sure to stop in at one of the most amazing BBQ restaurants in the world. Pro Tip: Don't sleep on the desserts made my Leonard's Mom!

Matt, a little late on this comment but I bought a Prime brisket from Sam's Club this past weekend. Followed the advice in this video on smoking a brisket. I did the trimming, kept the trim for making homemade links...got the brisket looking smooth and ready for smoke. Rubbed it with salt, pepper and a little Lawry's seasoned salt. Smoked it on 210 overnight for about 14 hours until it hit that dark bark we all want. Internal was about 175ish. Wrapped in butcher paper cranked the heat to 300 until it finished which was around 205 or so. Let it cool to about 150 then wrapped it in cellophane and kept it in the cooler for about 3 hours. When I pulled it out to slice, it was incredible. 100% the most juicy, best bark, most tender brisket Ive ever made. Family went crazy over it for Easter Dinner. We appreciate these types of videos to educate us weekend BBQ guys how to produce great BBQ when we do get a chance to do some barbecuing. It can suck to spend all the money and time to turn out food thats not that great because you dont get a lot of time on the pit....know what I mean. Thanks Matt.

Matt, That was OUTSTANDING! You ain't kidding when you say "that is the best video you'll do all year", and I will take it a step further and say probably the best BBQ video from anyone all year! I can't thank you and Leonard enough for this video. I learned so much. It's a Brisket Master Class! It took me over 2 hours to watch that video, stopping, taking notes and rewinding. Please extend a very special thanks to Leonard for taking so much time away from his business to accommodate you for the video. Two of the nicest guys in BBQ!

Best video I've ever seen on brisket bar none. Leonard just put on a clinic of how to do it right. BBQ people are notorious for withholding information on little things that can improve your cook. I believe that Leonard held nothing back on this video. He is a tradesman of his craft. Above all Matt, thank you for producing this video and sharing your knowledge. I'll be in Church every time the doors are open and twice on Sunday!

Hey Matt, I made my third brisket ever in my life for my family using the tips on your brisket videos. I love the foil tip from Truth here and listened carefully to get tender meat and a good bark. The brisket turned out amazing, so flavorful, juicy throughout with a beautiful bark and smoke ring. Thank you for posting! Also hey Truth, I was born in Brenham, nice to see a business from there expand and do well! Kind Regards

Damn. Love this channel. I will be honest I did my first brisket last weekend after watching some of your videos. My buddy from Texas and my neighbor who travels to Texas to visit his kids told me it was amazing and as close as Texas can get. Keep up the amazing work and that you for your rubs and tip from these amazing cooks. NO ONE GIVES OUT THEIR SECRETS!! And you get them to talk and I am listening. "I ain't mad". Gonna keep cooking thanks to you and your amazing friends. It can only get better!! Love you guys.

Hey Matt - I live in Oregon where brisket is an obscure meat that you get on a sandwich from a BBQ truck. Thanks for making these cooks so accessible for folks like me who aren't surrounded by neighbors to learn this from. I smoked my first brisket this weekend for my wife's birthday party and it turned out great. I will never tire of the compliments pouring down. Thanks for making it less daunting.

Thanks Matt and Leonard! I'm doing two briskets tomorrow. One for slices and burnt ends and the other to make brisket mac & cheese and Texas twinkies! I'll definitely be using a few of the tips from this video. I'm glad to see a bona-fide expert using mustard as a binder like I do. Love the tip on how to fold the wrap so I can check on the feel better! I was drooling the whole time you guys were sitting at that table at the end. I think my trip to Texas in November is going to turn into a BBQ tour and now Truth is on my list!

As a Houstonian, we’re now blessed with so much amazing BBQ, especially compared to 10-15 years ago. Having regularly visited so many amazing places, from Killen’s to Corkscrew, to Roegel’s, Pinkerton’s, Pit Room, and on…there is something intangible about Truth’s brisket that keeps us coming back and makes it my #1 for brisket. Awesome video, even better food.

Great stuff. I love making brisket. I'm still very early in the learning process, so videos like this where various folks are sharing their tips and tricks are much appreciated. I'd make one a week but my family would get tired of it before I perfected it, as they almost did with my home made pizza. One of the greatest things about bbq though is that even if you screw it up, unless it's a pile of charcoal, it's still bbq. Just slather some more sauce on there and eat and it still ain't bad. It's funny, my 5 year old will not eat a hot dog, but she loves pulled pork and brisket. I'm going to have to step up my game and learn much more just so that I can teach her and have some fun food time together.
