Just a couple of things I didn't mention in the video (there's so much to smoking brisket, I always forget something!). Brisket can feel ready and be probing nicely anywhere from 195F internal all the way up to 215F. I've had them ready at both ends of the scale, it just depends on the brisket, how thick it is, the fat content and many other variables! So go by feel and probe tenderness. You want to be feeling no resistance when probing around and removing your probe/skewer! Also, as stated in the video, let your brisket rest. This will allow all the juices to settle back evenly through the whole brisket, resulting in nice, juicy full slices of brisket!
I always get my brisket on earlier than I think, you never know how long a brisket is going to stall for, sometimes they barely stall, sometimes they can for hours. My tip is, don't fight the stall, that's when the magic is happening and the muscle is starting to break down and become tender. If your brisket ends up being done earlier than you think, wrap it up in foil or butchers paper, then wrap a towel around it (use an old towel) and then rest it in an esky. If you pre-warm the esky with sealed containers of boiling water, your brisket will stay hot for 6-7+ hours!
Also, you want to slice against the grain, so the flat is pretty straight forward, you'll be able to see the grain on the brisket before you season it, however you'll need to rotate the point end 90 degrees when you slice it as the grain changes when you get deep into the point.
I really hope this video helps anyone looking to use their Weber kettle for a long smoke, or if you are trying smoking brisket for the first time or have had troubles in the past. I want to make smoking brisket easy for you!
The snake method shown in this video is also perfect for other long smoking cooks like beef ribs, pulled pork, pulled beef or anything else low n slow that will take 8+ hours.

Followed this method exactly for a perfect weber brisket - was a spectacular success - noted all your temps and made my moves as you suggested, even wrapping the meat in foil, towel and into the esky...Thanks for taking the time to make this, the USA vids are a lot more complex and fiddly - you keep it simple and precise
Thanks so much for the feedback, really appreciate you taking the time to let us know how you went! Keep it up. Absolute legend 🔥
@@LownSlowBasics any advice on using hardwood lump charcoal for the snake method? Or is it the same? Thanks, appreciate the videos
@@boznian87 it's not really something you do with charcoal as the size varies so much.
What is an "esky"?
@@shebboleth it's ozzy name for chilly bin or cooler box
22 years old and smoking my first brisket for the fam on new years. PUMPED!!!
Legend! Let us know how it goes 🔥
You fucked it up didn’t you😂
You get a Texas thumbs up Sir. Way to show that brisket who’s Boss. Any pit, large or small, the smoke must go on.
Thanks legend 🔥🙏
Great video, I'm still learning the basics of kettle Qing and this definitely showed me something new. Thanks!
Dude... the knife😱😱
From route 83 😜
@@LownSlowBasics thanks will check them out
And I really like your honestly and lack of animation. So many guys (& gals) are over kill on their exaggerations. 👍👍💪💪
Thanks heaps mate!
Thanks mate. Got my first webber last weekend and hanging out to do this on Saturday
Really good find, so many key elements you’ve covered in simple easy plain speak and the results speak for themselves. Great stuff.
Thanks so much!
What a great vid! You run through it in a practical no nonsense approach. I have a Weber that has been sitting idle for years - I have a briskit to cook up from a 40 month Highland steer. You have given me all the confidence I need. Hope to do the cook in the next week or so. It Your briskit looks so succulent! Cheers, mate!
Thanks for the video! Awesome stuff!
Fantastic vid, brother. So easy to watch and follow. Great work.
Nice work! I appreciate the videos. I made your pulled pork last weekend. It was absolutely wonderful!
Great video, looking forward to trying it out
Thank you for this! Like the other guy said - simple and not fiddly. Great work.
Young Man you are doing a great job .. iv been cooking in a Webber for years and you have taught me some new things..keep up the great work
First ever brisket going on the Weber in 3 hours! I’m getting so excited
Awesome presentation! And it looked delicious.
Thank you from the UK, my first ever time smoking in my Weber kettle and first time trying a Low and slow cook, the results were amazing and it’s given me a huge confidence boost!!
Thanks mate, just cooked up my first brisket following your instructions. Turned out amazing!! Compliments galore from everybody 👍👍
Great work 🔥
Wow that moisture, tenderness of beef, and smoke ring is fantastic. Thank you for doing kettle style cooks. For me it makes things a lot easier 👍
Thanks heaps mate. You are welcome.
Nice clean presentation. Great job mate.
I was hesitating between an expensive smoker or a Weber and you helped a lot. Keep it up!
Thanks mate, definitely does the job the old Weber.
Still feeling the same way?
This looks so good I must try this for me my family and friends
Loving the Webber series you are posting. This looks fantastic. 👍👍
Thanks mate :) glad your are enjoying.
That was awesome. You really made that look easy can't wait to give it a shot
Thanks so much!
That’s a knife!!! Brisket looked great too!
Followed this guide with my 1st brisket. Came out brilliantly. Thanks guys.
That's awesome! Thanks for letting us know 🔥
Alright I will be attempting my first brisket tomorrow. I took note of many things you said, so hopefully everything goes well
I followed this video for my first brisket-it came out amazing. Thank you for putting this video out to take the anxiety away.
That's so good to hear! Great work :)
Simple yet so so so good! Sometimes simple is best mate. Love it!!! Amazing looking brisket!!!
Thanks mate ❤️
Low n Slow Basics I’m loving how much you’re loving your kettle. I’ll have to wait to get mine but it’ll be worth the wait. I’ll have my drum so I’ll still be happy
Texas here , great turnout on the weber! I use stick burner offset and yours came out excellent. May start using my kettle. Applause 👏
I liked the way you did the trimming boss. Nicely done nice
This is class mate. Looking forward to following your approach.
Thanks so much mate.
Great call on the even temperatures. Which would make the flat perfect
Excellent smoke mate. Straight forward & no nonsense beginners guide.
I followed you directions and my first brisket was delicious.
That's awesome! Thanks so much for the feedback!
Truly impressive what you have accomplished on a weber
All the little tips and tricks I learned in all other brisket-smoking videos I've watched were all mentioned here! Where have you been all this time?! This is a great, simple, no-nonsense video. Love it and keep up the great work.👏👍
Thanks so much!
Looks awesome Aaron. Keep up the good work.
Appreciate that man 🔥
Thanks mate well explained
That is a beautiful kettle just found you channel. Good stuff man brisket looks good.
Thanks man! It was a lucky find for sure. Appreciate you 🔥
Really enjoyed the video. I've never smoked a brisket before on my Weber so I'm looking forward to giving this a try.
Thanks mate let us know what you think.
Very helpful video. I scored a Weber kettle today for free. Having been using an offset I understand all everything apart from how to best run the Weber. I’ll be having a crack at a brisket next weekend on the kettle. I think it’ll be easier to maintain temp than my offset to be honest.
Amazing...and you make it look so easy!
Thankyou! 🔥
Excellent job and great video, well done.
Thankyou 🔥
Watched the video, Did a 9 hr cook and 1 hr rest. Best ever, thanks
Best explanation video EVER
Good vid. Thanks Champ.
thank you, step by step really explained.. thanks again, Congrats!
No worries at all mate, thanks for the support.
Thank’s for your video. I just bought a Weber Performer Deluxe ... still waiting for. Anxious to try this recipe.
Thanks mate :)
So good, even the birds sang their approval. Thanks!
The birds love it 😂
Wow looks great
Very thorough, not wordy yet still engaging without overpowering music we usually hear on bbq/smoker videos. Subscribed American over here! Awesome vids man.
Great to see a fellow Aussie handing out some BBQ advice, in a very American area. Cheers, i'll try this exact method in my Weber smokey mountain, so far i've only used the minion method
Thanks mate! If you’ve got a wsm I’d stick with minion :)
Great video. Probably saved quite a lot of money and time for a lot of newbees here including myself.
On my first brisket cook the only difficult i had was with getting the grill upto the temp, took about 2 hours. Was smooth sailing after that.
I used the starter cube to light up the snake head. Will try adding burning charcoal like it's recommended to start with the next time.
Thanks mate :)
Excellent video. Really looking forward to trying this!
Thanks so much
@@LownSlowBasics This was awesome - just a few strange looks chucking the brisket in the esky haha. Thanks for the vid! Ribs are next.
@@rockplz great work!
One of the best video instructions I have seen. Thank you
🙏
Great video m8, simple and easy to follow
Thanks so much!
Nice job ! Really helpful
Thanks so much
Yes mate perfect info
Just finished slicing and tasting my brisket. I followed your instructions exactly as in this video and it came out juicy, tender and delicious. I watched other videos but found them too complicated. Thanks for sharing your stuff. It was easy to understand and easy to follow. Now I’m not embarrassed to be a Texan and not knowing how to smoke a brisket.
Great to hear. Good work mate!
Nice video. Very relaxed presentation, no over the top salesmanship. Will use this method next time I do brisket.
Thanks for the feedback 🙏
Good video mate, thanks for that.
No worries :)
Appreciate the video. I think I’ll attempt it myself now
thanks so much!
I followed your guidance and cooked my first ever brisket tonight. I had to improvise a bit here and there but it turned out amazing. Unfortunately i ruined all my footage….. Thanks for the awesome channel
So I followed your method exactly, it came out awesome for my first brisket ever.
Great work legend!
Best tip is to leave the top vent open. Has made my cooks so much easier, thanks mate
No worries at all mate!
As an Aussie I wish you would quote Celsius temps but love your vids
Every time I watch your video makes me hungry and it's mouth watering 😍🤤
Thanks so much 🔥
Brilliant job mate, I'm doing a brisket for the first time for something different on Christmas, I will follow your advice thanks for your video! Subbed.
Thanks heaps man! Have a good Christmas 🔥
@@LownSlowBasics cheers mate you too
Thanks. That was very informative. 🤓
You are most welcome
Excellent vid, when I smoke my first brisket I'll be following this guide.
Thanks for the support! Let us know how you go :)
Same goes for me!
@@ThePayneFactor keep us posted 🔥
Enjoyed the video!
Thanks so much
I buggered my first brisket attempt as I left it too late to cover it in foil. I feel confident to have another crack now - thanks for the video
No worries at all!
Excelent video, i am slowly working my way through your Video collection 👍🏼 i especially like it when you use both Temperature measurments F & C...... It saves me having to google the difference 🤣 Thanks again 10/10 👍🏼
You are very welcome! Thanks for the support!
Outstanding video brother. I just subbed
Thanks so much
Leave the top wide open and adjust with the bottom vent. Brilliant!
Definitely been a game changer for me
@@LownSlowBasics I like to throw fresh sausages on after the cook (butt or ribs or chicken (I’m still intimidated by the brisket)to finish off the fire.
That rotating the grate is spot on!! I’m feeling like I just got smacked in the head. I’m so glad I found your video. 👍👍💪💪
🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏
@@LownSlowBasics Same here. Game changer.
Thanks Top vid.. just waiting for fast read thermometer should be hear Tuesday so I'll be smoking next weekend. Cheers
Oh hell yes! Nice
Looks amazing mate!
Thankyou
Great advice thanks.
Most welcome
Super clean kettle.
Thanks mate, was a lucky find!
Excellent video
Thanks so much 🔥
Looks insane!!! Great effort!
The adjustments to bottom vent with top vent wide open is 100% game changer.
I did smoked ribs with your vents recommendation and it was much easier to control.
Thank you.
You are more than welcome, glad to hear it helped :)
I’ve been BBQ for the last couple of years and I’m still learning. Subbed can’t wait to see more, learn and be inspired to do more. Keep it up mate.
@@AMEX_ will do. Appreciate the support, thankyou.
This is really in depth thanks heaps... I have done one brisket with a packet of taco mix and one with chicken salt and mustard and soy sauce and beer ... in a little Kmart toaster oven at maybe 90 degrees for ages. Got a Webber style bbq yesterday and ready to go putting a packet of some sort of supermarket chipotle garlic rub mix packet.... very exciting stuff gonna make my third ever brisket soon proper smoked this time like yours with the coals cheers..... very very helpful video thanks mate gotta try it with a laser thermometer.... fantastic
Man that sounds like a tasty combo!
Love the vids mate 🍻
Thanks mate :)
Oh that's awesome. Whenever I've seen others do briskets they always use smokers and they never explain how to not have to keep adding coals.
But.. I could definitely do this. I have a weber of same kind as yours. And Yeah. I'm going to try this the comming summer.
Works like a charm!
Thankyou 🔥
Great video, very informative. I think i now have the confidence to try my first brisket knowing I can reflect back here if any fears when attempting. I must say though, I dont think I could do 8 plus hours cooking without an alcoholic beverage lol. You did well not having one, or at least not showing it lol.
Thanks heaps mate! I try to keep the beers off camera. You'll see a sneaky one from time to time 😜
Phwooarr! Delicious. Total comedy dribbling going on here. Great video - nice one!
Thanks so much 🔥
Aaron!! Mate, my neighbour just gifted me an old Webber kettle, so I’m browsing UA-cam videos and finally landed on yours. No more browsing required, subscribed and now you’re my go-to channel to educate me on the finer points, no 🇺🇸waffle. And a crow-eater no less! Glad I found you man, thanks. Journey starts tomorrow with brisket. Jason (ex crow-eater).
Thanks so much legend! Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Damn bro this how to is legit! I just threw a brisket in the Weber for the NRL GF tonight cause we have a few mates coming over. This is gonna be a winner.
looks mint brother! never seen a full brisket at woolies or coles!
gonna try this in a couple weeks, new to the low and slow game and loving it!
Thanks legend! Yeah you don't see them there hey. Drakes are awesome :)
@@LownSlowBasics I get mine from Drakes, they have trimmed and untrimmed!
Great video! shows how to really make this without an expensive setup. Btw, nice looking knives.
Thanks so much :)
Going to try on Saturday for my birthday thanks and cheers 🍻
Awesome! Let us know how you go :)
@@LownSlowBasics came out amazing wife said was my best brisket thank you
@@22HondaCivic man that's so good to hear! Good job. Now try butchers paper for the wrap next time and it'll be better again!
Great video mate. Trying my first brisket tomorrow. Smoking on banksia cones for that Aussie flavour!
Thanks mate!
Hard to find Brisket like that in uk . Would love to give it a try 👍👍👍🥂🍻🍹🍾 happy new year
Same to you 🍻
Agreed! I hate the fact we cant call into our local supermarket and buy off the shelf cuts like 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 although my local butcher looks after me but it comes with a price.... Brisket of that size is definatly for special occasions in my house. 😂
Very good content.
Much appreciated
Thank you so much, I cooked a brisket today using your method,,, absolute perfection, 8h cooking, 1h rest and it just melted in my mouth,,, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
That's a credit to yourself! Great work! Thanks so much for letting us know. Feel free to share the video around so others can have the same success ;)
