This video will show you how to make amazing smoked brisket. The dry rub recipe used in this video is 3 tablespoons salt, pepper and paprika and 2 tablespoons crushed red pepper. I used hickory to smoke the brisket and it turned out great. The brisket came out of the smoker with a thick bark but was not too overpowered with smoke. Enjoy!
Notes:
- I used a cherry hickory chip blend in the MES
- Added new chips every hour or so except when I was sleeping
- Woke up early and continued to add chips until done
- This is an "unwrapped" method of cooking brisket. If you are new to cooking brisket I would recommend wrapping in foil at an internal temp of 165 and cooking until 195-205.
- I received some comments that this brisket looks dry but that was not the case. The "flat" (where I made the first cut) looked dry because it is thinner. the remainder of the brisket turned out great. Your flat may get a bit dry using an unwrapped cooking method but if you are going for heavy bark that is sometimes the sacrifice you need to make!

Few things I noticed: no smoke ring, no "flop" (brisket done right, when sliced, typically flops and yours was pretty stiff), lastly it looks pretty dry. I'd suggest doing a mop and using the bowl in the MSE smoker with water and apple cider vinegar. Also wrap when you hit the stall and add some beef stock or rendered fat in with the wrap.

Bit of a necro on this 2 year old post, but, one thing to note is that he took this meat to 200f in the smoker before pulling it. He pretty much overcooked it, he should of pulled it at 165 and then wrapped it to continue on to 200 as it rested. Him pulling it at 200 means that brisket probably hit 230-240f for a hour as it sat there in the towel and just turned to leather.

Awesome video, great step by step instruction and explanation (re: Texas Crutch alternative, etc). Although we created our own rub, we followed along with the trimming suggestion, scored the back fat and was tossed on either wrapping at the stall or just pushing on through...we went with the latter so the beers and I babysat that rollin' beauty for 11 hours at 225°F temp until we reached a 195°F internal temp at the point. I then wrapped it in butcher's paper, foil and an old towel for a 60 minute rest. You're instructions worked incredible as it was one of the best briskets we had smoked! Amazing hard bark with an incredible juicy texture! Thanks so much for sharing your techniques and recipes! Looking forward to our next epic smoking adventure!

@shaitand69 4 года назад
@@SmokeTrailsBBQ Pro-tip bring the smoker up to temp first, the masterbuilt heats SLOWLY. Definitely do the foil wrap and half-way to the stall give it a spray on all the edges with apple cider vinegar or water. Also fill the water pan. Be sure to put it in the paper before the fat renders (go 150ish if in doubt and be sure pink butcher paper is tight when you wrap), cook to 195-205 when the lean (thin) edge has gotten tender after the stall walk out from the middle with your fingers because the temps aren't consistent. Last but not least don't even think about cutting it before the internal temp drops to 140. Oh and drop the silly rub, replace with 50/50 kosher salt/course pepper. Then again, maybe not, but that's what some of us do here in Texas.

Smoke Trails , it was FANTASTIC. I don’t know what could have been better, but I imagine that there might be ways to improve. I had about an 8.5 lb. brisket trimmed, I used a garlic/salt/pepper/onion rub, cooked at 230°, apple juice in the water pan and apple wood smoke. Because of my schedule, I didnt do a lot of smoke early on. After about 4 hours, it was at 154° and starting to brown nicely. I was gone for the next 4 hours, and when I returned the temp was only about 164°, so it must have been stalling then. I started to use an apple vinegar-water spritz and more smoke, and after a couple more hours it was still only about 170°. Kept checking and spritzing occasionally and finally after about 13 hours it was at 198° and nicely charred. I wrapped it then, foil, towel, and into a cooler for two hours. It cut nicely, was very tender and juicy, the point was a little more moist, of course. I guess if anything, I probably could have wrapped it at some point after about 6 hours, because there was some harder, more charred areas on the bottom of the flat. Still, a great success for my first shot!

@@seanoconnor1702 With brisket there is very little chance of oversmoking, open the air vent fully (actually always do this so you minimize creosote from oxygen starvation) and put at least 4 doses a minimum of 60min after starting and 30min apart but more is better (no more than 4 for ribs but brisket is a big cut of meat). Be sure to bring the smoker up to temp before putting the brisket in or your time will be way off since this smoker takes hours to get up to temp.

@@shaitand69 I agree fully. And something to add is that your smoke leaving your smoker should almost be clear. If it is light gray this is ok, but if it starts to look like a campfire this is a dirty smoke and will pollute your taste with the creosote. I buy my wood chips from HEB and add chips every 30 minutes to an hour for competition taste. If it is for a family bbq I will add chips heavily early on and wake up at most twice to refill.

I bought a Masterbuilt 30 Electric Smoker. Were you able to fit that brisket in there? At the beginning of the video, the brisket seems to be much larger that when you actually put it in. Anyhow, my first attempt failed. I think the smoker's control unit temp was off. So I plan to try again using additional probes to monitor internal temps.
@SmokeTrailsBBQ
@SmokeTrailsBBQ 4 года назад
Phil, how did it fail? Too dry? You can try wrapping. I have other videos on that. For fitting it in you have 2 options: (1) split the point from the flat or (2) put something food safe in there for the brisket to "drape" on top of so it turns into more of a U shape. For example a small metal baking pan upside down. After 5 hours it will shrink down alot so you can lay it flat

Great question! Yes, you'll want it in the thickest part of the point right where the point and flat meet in the middle. It's important to make sure you reach 195-205 throughout the whole brisket. That's the magic temperature to render the fat so you get a juicy brisket.

First, for pork sirloin it's a pretty lean cut compared to pork shoulder and not as tough, so you have two options with it: (1) (preferred option for this cut) smoke it to 145 degrees internal and then let it rest for 5-10 minutes (optional) AFTER the rest sear it on your grill for some char and reverse sear taste then cut into chops/steaks and serve; (2) cook it like a pork shoulder and smoke it to 165 internal, wrap it in foil and take it to 203 internal, rest for a few hours in a cooler and then pull and sauce - serve on buns. For the chicken thighs the hardest part is not overcooking them and also getting crispy skin at the low temps of the MES. Two days before the cook brine your thighs overnight, then in the morning (usually before work) pat them dry and put them on a rack uncovered in the bottom of the fridge to dry out the skin. The next day when you're ready to cook baste them in oil (not butter - too much moisture in butter) and smoke at 275 until they reach 145 internal. Rest them for 5-10 minutes and then crisp the skin up on the grill (optional) baste with some pre-heated sauce afterwards

What’s the typical time when you need to add more wood chips? Obviously when you’re sleeping, you’re not adding anymore. Are you getting a nice smoke ring?? I didn’t see one.
@SmokeTrailsBBQ
@SmokeTrailsBBQ 4 года назад
You can't get a smoke ring with electric smokers (unless you do some magic like adding charcoal to the box or pre-seasoning with curing salts). I add wood chips every hour. When i'm sleeping I add them however many times I feel like getting up during the night. Usually it's only once, otherwise my wife would make me sleep on the couch.

1st attempt at smoking, and following your directions cooking straight through without wrapping the brisket when it stalled. Great flavor, but came out dry. Wondering if I stopped and wrapped at the stall would have helped.
@SmokeTrailsBBQ
@SmokeTrailsBBQ 3 года назад
Hi Brian, yes it helps but you will lose out on getting great bark (which is hard to do on the MES without cooking all the way unwrapped). Im assuming you injected and let it rest. Were you using a select grade brisket? The easiest way to get a moist brisket is to buy choice or prime. If you are stuck with select, wrapping is the way to go.

@SmokeTrailsBBQ
@SmokeTrailsBBQ 4 года назад
For a brisket: make sure the vent is open all the way, don't use a water pan (the brisket has enough moisture), it's best not to wrap (or wrap only at the very end around 180- 190 internal when the bark is set)if you are going for good bark, but expect it to be a bit more dry than you are used to as a result, lastly, buy the best brisket you can. USDA prime or better.

@jsdspif3
@jsdspif3 5 лет назад
I'm probably late in my response but I bought the cold smoker attachment years ago and I really like it. You only turn it on to start the chips smoking then shut it off. I usually turn mine on for 5 minutes and by then smoke is coming out of the smoker and then I turn it off. If it is really full of chips after a couple hours you need to go in from the top and kind of "jostle" the chips around to get them to fall to the bottom and sometimes they won't still be smoking so you turn it back on again for a minute or 2 and then they're smoking again. I tried a couple different things that burn saw dust or pellets for smoke and didn't have much luck. Some people are curious about the amount of heat it produces but when I was experimenting with that I found it only raised the temperature by about 2 degrees. So if you want to do cheese and it's 50 degrees outside it would be about 52 inside the smoker. I'd say full of chips you probably get 5/6 hours of smoke. Sure beats putting chips in the standard tube of the MES every 20 minutes. My attachment is actually on my second MES. The first one finally gave up after a number of years and quite a bit of use. So when I got a new MES I just slipped the cold smoker on it. I probably could have repaired it but it was just so trashed. The chrome had come off the grates. Not from harsh cleanings but just from so much cleaning.I think the cold smoker attachment is a must have for me.

@SmokeTrailsBBQ
@SmokeTrailsBBQ 4 года назад
Hi Tica, is it the internal temp that wont pass 200? If you cook it another 30 mins after it reaches 200 it should be really tender. Or you could wrap it in foil if you want to get it higher. Or is it the masterbuilt electric smoker that wont pass 200? In that case it might be something wrong with the control panel.
@mysticfeat2352
@mysticfeat2352 4 года назад
Hey Tica: Although I have never tried cooking a brisket, I have tried cooking a pork shoulder. I had to finish off in my oven. It turned out great. You might want to try the same. You have the requisite amount of smoking time for flavor. I have a Bradley smoker and could never get an oven temp over 275F...its always "Low N Slow" for me...I have no choice.

@SmokeTrailsBBQ
@SmokeTrailsBBQ 5 лет назад
Hi Michael. Great question! The Masterbuilt electric smoker (and most electric smokers) do NOT produce a smoke ring. It's generally thought that this is because it doesn't produce the same amount of NO2 that a traditional stick burner produces. Think of it this way: with the MES you're cooking with electric heat from an element that smoulders some wood chips to produce smoke as a by product. With a stick burner you are cooking with actual fire and the heat is coming from the combustion of coal and wood. All of that combustion creates the NO2 that interacts with the myoglobin in the meat to produce a smoke ring. One "hack" you can use if you really want a smoke ring is to dry brine the meat in a bit of prague powder/pink curing salt (or even celery salt) for a few hours prior to the cook (use very little as it's a health concern) OR you can try throwing a lit piece of charcoal into the pan during your cook - that might help create more NO2. Hope that helps!
