Smoked Brisket Taste Test and How to Smoke Brisket in a Pit Boss Vertical Smoker
Рет қаралды 98,632
Күн бұрынWe smoked a 10.5 pound wagyu brisket today in our Pit Boss 3 Series vertical pellet smoker. The brisket arrived pre-trimmed so there wasn’t much for me to trim but I walk you through a basic backyard smoked brisket trim.
The Pit Boss 3 series temperature dial was set to 275 and the temperate at the rack level where the brisket sat stayed around 240 the whole time.
We cooked it in the Pit Boss Smoker at 275 for 4 hours and finished off in the oven for 5 hours. Next time, I will keep it in the Pit Boss smoker for 5 hours to get a better smoke ring and better bark.
I want to thank Ted from It’s All About the Rack for stopping by and giving some advice on how to cut the brisket as well as being a taste tester.

Weekend Warrior BBQ, thanks SO MUCH for the brisket smoking in a pellet grill video, as I have a Pit Boss Austin XL and have never cooked much less smoked a brisket and I want to this summer. I got a lot of tips from your video. 1) Dry Rub 2) spray with vinegar and apple juice mix every flip 3) flip ever 2hrs looking at what you did helped to give me ideas on how I want to try to smoke my first brisket. Now to figure out my dry rub.....salt, black pepper, red pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, light coat of Worcestershire sauce before dry rub for flavor and binging. Buy HUGE brisket, cut into 4ths and cut one normal and cut one into small cubs for burnt ends. Thanks will try.

Cool videos, I have a vertical model as well. One thing I'll add is - go ahead and leave the brick in there, just move it to a different rack. the hot brick will help you recover your temperature quickly after each opening of the door.

I’ll tell you what, Mel... it was a little intimidating because I did t want to screw it up and over cook it. When Ted gave me an A+ rating after he taste tested it, that made my day 😁 This smoker is very similar to a convection oven with the difference being it adds smoke. So with that in mind, if you can cook it in an oven you can cook it in the smoker 😉

@@WeekendWarriorBBQ I worry about over smoking and getting a bitter taste, when you put it in the oven like you did I wouldn't wrap cause there's no smoke, I don't wrap on my ceramic smokers cause no smoking woods left cause I quit adding wood at 140. The temp fluctuations on the pitboss verticals causes it to produce smoke till the end. My Green mountain pellet smokers don't produce much smoke at 275 so you could get away with it but Malcolm Reed always wraps when color is right and cooks till tender, that's what I do.

You’re welcome and it will turn out that good. Use the cooking times as a rough guideline... wrap it when you have a nice dark bark that has hardened a little bit. Then finish the cook until a meat probe or toothpick pulls out with very little resistance. Temperature really doesn’t matter but a rough guide is around 205 degrees. Let it rest for at least an hour and then enjoy all of your hard work 😁
