    There are many ways to trim a brisket. Matt demonstrates a "minimal" trim for the back yard so you maximize what you family and friends can eat. Restaurant and competition folks will trim much more. Stay tuned for that in a future video!

    I know this is an older video, but I'm just seeing it now.
    I love that you're a pro who thinks about the every-man out there. Life is hectic with work, kids and everything else and it's nice that you demonstrate the fundamentals in an easy to understand format that doesn't require a ridiculous time commitment. I also enjoy your Traeger videos quite a lot for the same reasons.
    I thank you, my family thanks you... The local cattle probably do not thank you.

    Where does the awesomeness end? Never I hope!! Backyard smoker who is always looking for a better way of preparing and smoking meat.. My first exposure to Meat Church was a video on smoking a brisket at a higher temp of 275, which I do from here on out as my brisket is never ever dry. I ended up buying several rubs, brisket injection (which by the way takes the tenderness/taste of a brisket to a higher level) and lastly instead of making my own turkey brine this last time, bought the Meat Church Turkey brine, tried it out, family ate it and now my wife no longer wants to cook any meat anymore, she has relinquished the honor to me & Meat Church!! I appreciate the excellent products and education to help me be a better backyard smoker!!

But the Meat Church videos like this one made it so less daunting, and really made it simple. Brisket turned out great, and I learned so much that I'm sure my next one will be even better!

After watching your Traeger video I was able to cook the best brisket ever! My wife who's late father had multiple cook off trophies said it was the best brisket she had ever tasted. What an honor and compliment. Thank you again for sharing your methods. By the way your Meat Church rubs are awesome. I am looking forward to a video from you on pulled pork Texas style. God bless you and your family.

I've gone from god awful to pretty dang good. I do something every week. Brisket and ribs are the family favorites. I use all the Meat Church rubs. I really like the Honey Hog & Honey Hog Hot. The Holy Gospel is amazing on my briskets. I subscribed and liked this video. Keep them coming!

    I've yet to do a brisket and your video really made me feel confident in doing the trimming part which has honestly scared me away from doing it for years. Comp guys show this and that & basic backyarders go for that jiggle. I dont wanna waste $50+ on junk. I have 4 kids kids and they love some BBQ & I don't have the funds to waste at expensive meat. Thats why I do Chuck roasts for cost and taste is great.

I just recently bought one of your rub packages and man am I impressed!! I smoked a porked last weekend and used the honey hog and damn! The flavor was incredible!

    Thank you for this great tutorial video. My Dad used to smoke, he was amazing. I’ve never smoked. I purchased a Chimp grill fron Grilla grills and followed your video. Put the brisket on the grill. Hope it turns out good. The Chimp is much smaller than the one you’re using. I don’t know if that affects the cooking time. But I’m watching the temp on my phone and there’s also a temp probe in the brisket. I’ll post another comment to let you know how mine turned out.
