Hey Malcom, I just wanted to stop in and say thanks. I have cooked brisket many times but never for a competition. I did my first comp this weekend and used your method for trimming to get it ready for the box. We came in first on brisket. We also won pork, chicken, fan favorite, and grand champion, ribs were our only miss, we over cooked them slightly and knew it. The way you demonstrated trimming the flat was perfect for the situation, and like you said, for family and friends it wouldn't be so aggressive but it works perfect for competition and the trimmings also provide a nice treat during the long day. But thanks for your knowledge,cutting and trimming brisket is trickier then cooking it.
Finally, a master shares his work. Typical videos share very little specifics on this topic. Even though I don't do competitions, I do love your videos, and my family approves of most of your recipes I have tried. Your work is appreciated sir.
I love your show and have learn so much..I have learn to BBQ from you show and my husband does not even cook anymore and has passed on all of his pits to me. He takes joy in watching me cook for family and friends...Again, Thanks
I always save them. I've ground them and used them for killer burger meat, we've used them in soups and brisket quesadillas or tacos. But because I am a hunter I've ground it and mixed it with ground venison to add that fat and flavor to the meat.
Malcolm, I just competed in only my second kcbs contest. I took your advice and trimmed my brisket very close to your video. My appearance scores were 7 and 8 at my first. My scores were 9,9,9,9,9,8 for the one I turned it yesterday and my total score went up 5 points. Thank you for your video. Tony.
Aim'em and Claim'em Smokers If I was cooking this brisket at home for family - I wouldn't trim it like this. I would use a different method here: ua-cam.com/video/tCoydyJLKmQT/v-deo.htmlhis is just for competition BBQ. And we inject and baby on the brisket so much we don't have to worry about it drying out.
when you trim, you said you lost about 4 lbs of fat correct, with that being done, you're still cooking at 220-225*, do you go by internal temp of 198* or do you go by feel, i made one over the 4th and it was the worst one i've ever fixed, never had one turn out that bad, i'm thinking i might have pulled it off to soon, because when i stuck the temp probe in it was still a bit firm and some guys from texas pitmasters said if the probe doesn't go in like butter then it isn't done
Hello just subscribed to your channel. Man every thing you make looks good. I hope to get back into smoking meat again in a month or two. Thanks for all the info and tips you give.
great video, why complain about the way he does his brisket, many ways to trim a brisket, do what works for you, he clearly stated this was for competition not for backyard cook-outs, there is a difference.you only get one shot to wow the judges, you want your best to be shown and tasted. in competition you only care about the area you are giving to the judges. nothing else about the brisket matters. as far a drying out, we do inject because we do trim aggressively is some cases. when money is on the line. who in the hell wants to second best. YOU.
Man you shoulda kept goin, you could of had the whole brisket in peices lol! Nice video. I thought a brisket was done when it's done, not @198 internal?
Best part is the comments. Malcom said many times this is aggressive and it is for competition. Then people get all triggered and comment exactly that. HAHA How dumb can you be?
I hate when I see people rinse off meat, it's unnecessary and unsafe. As cool as BBQ competitions are, I hope he makes use of all that meat he cut off. It's a sad waste of food if he doesn't.

Awesome video! I'm doing my first brisket for New Years.
Awesome tutorial. Thanks for sharing your techniques. Keep up the good work.
Great channel, Malcolm. What competitions have you won?
Malcom, trimming so aggressively, do you worry about the brisket turning out too dry?

You make me want to cry cutting that much meat off the brisket!! Wow.... you probably my trimmed 5lbs off that beast!
You smoke it fat side or down?

the flat looks like the point and the point looks like fajitas, wtf
Waste of good meat
true pro
if that was a 1000 lb brisket after you trimmed it would be a 5 lb brisket!
Best part is the comments. Malcom said many times this is aggressive and it is for competition. Then people get all triggered and comment exactly that. HAHA How dumb can you be?
Seems like a waste of brisket to me.

Cool....
