- I smoke a select cut brisket on the Masterbuilt Gravity smoker to see if a cheaper cut of meat will still come out tasting great. The internet has went crazy with overpriced meat cuts and cooking shows.

Im pretty impressed this was your first brisket. I like that you chose to do it everyman style.
It turned out great
For comparison, try smoking a Prime brisket as well. You think Select or Choice are good ….
Love watching another dude do the 'tasty meat dance'. I do it every time I make a brisket.
Next time, go for a choice rather than select - still super reasonably priced but absolutely worth the difference in price. I get a 15 pound brisket for around 70 bucks at costco. The extra fat absolutely makes a difference.
Also - if using choice, don't throw away your fat trim. Toss it in a pan in the smoker - it'll pick up smoke flavor and some of it will render into tallow, which you can then pour over the brisket when you wrap. It'll really make the smoke flavor pop and keep your flat nice and juicy!
Well done!
Funny you mention that, I just ordered a cast iron sauce pot to melt fat in for my cooks.
If you want to reduce the consumption of charcoal, and you have time to monitor the entire cook, start with only about 30 briquettes, then add 20 or so at a time as required to maintain the heat.
When the hopper is full, the charcoal burns much faster than is needed. A lot of heat is needlessly wasted. You only need a small amount of charcoal to provide 225 degree temp.
I’ve cut my charcoal consumption to about half with this method.
I have the 1050 model.
Great video. Thanks for putting it out there.
I think a lot like you 👍🏼
Yeah, but that defeats the purpose of buying this smoker. We don't want to check every few hours, especially on a long cook. The whole purpose of this is to set it and forget it.
I thought the whole idea of this Masterbuilt is fill it let it go. Not keep adding charcoal. If charcoal is limited then smoke when it's not. Just my opinion. I just made a brisket on my 560which was a little smaller cut. Came out delicious but size is the difference.
I can get 10-12 hours on charcoal. That works for most cooks.
I'm thinking the amount of wood in the hopper is what burnt through all that charcoal. Should only need a couple in the ash bucket and maybe two more towards the bottom of the hopper. The meat will only take smoke for about 2-3 hours so after that no wood smoke is needed.
With big lump charcoal, I don't think this will be an issue, or with larger briquettes. Also, putting wood chunk mixed with the briquettes is probably what is burning through faster.
Thanks for taking the time to cook, film, and edit for is. Great job! The master built is next on my list.
Thank you for watching
Nice work, Andrew!
I have the Masterbuilt Digital Charcoal smoker, which is my fist ever smoker. I've been very pleased with the Boston Butts and the Chickens I've smoked in it so far.
Take care and God Bless!
Thank you for watching, God bless!
I have the MB 560, the MB800 wasn't invented yet. Two things I learned over the years is don't use a foil pan it deflects the heat and takes longer to cook. Lastly, only fill the hopper when you're doing a butt or a brisket. Otherwise only use what you would use as if it was a Weber Kettle. If you're only doing burgers you only need about 15 briquettes. The Masterbuilt gravity series are awesome but they waste a shit ton of fuel. I currently have a 36" Blackstone griddle and my MB560. If I had to do it all over I would buy the Masterbuilt 800 because I can use it as a griddle also. Geeat video!
Great stuff. Simple to the point. I have a MB 1050 and with your vid, I hope to achieve your standard. Thx 4 sharing.
Thank you for watching
How long does one chimney of coal last when smoking generally?
Great video! My favorite part (s) was watching your lab following you around; that dog clearly knows what's up when dads cooking 😂
I'll be getting myself an 800 series very soon, it was good to see it can handle a big ol hunk of meat like that!
He's always ready for a treat!
I just did one 15lbs also last weekend (injected) and it took me 21h (with 4h rest). Brought that to work for a little "happening" on Monday noon and it was spectacular to see the people's face when they thought they knew what good smoked meat was ! Great video!
That's awesome! I'm attempting my first ever hot and fast brisket today.
You are legit. You know what you’re doing and have true experience. Glad to see an honest review. Glad to be a new subscriber.
Thanks for the sub!
Your brisket looked good! On long cooks, I check the charcoal hopper about every 6 hours, and top off as needed. I've never gotten more than 8-9 hours out of a full hopper. Try using Kingsford's Mesquite, Cherrywood, or Applewood charcoal (and chunks of whichever type charcoal you're using). I have two full packer briskets in my freezers (about 17 lbs. each), so warmer weather can't get here soon enough. I also inject with beef broth to help maintain moisture. I bought a few 'cheap' bath towels that are used exclusively for 'the rest'. I put a couple in the bottom of the cooler, wrap the butcher papered brisket in aluminum foil, put it in the cooler, and pack the rest of the cooler full of towels to remove all 'dead space' in the cooler.
I like the broth injection idea.
You are doing too much….wood charcoal and time is all you need.
Absolutely beautiful! Labor of love for sure and SO worth it!
It definitely is!
@@TKCL wAt is God wood
My favorite! It's always worth the wait. Looks like it came out great, Andrew!
It was so good!
Howdy Mr Doug 👋.... Did you see he didn't even offer up us a plate 🤷🏽♂️..... Andrew give me a tortilla and some cheese 🧀 and I will make some breakfast burritos 🤤🤤🤤
@@5150cash lol Cash! Although those do sound good!
Great video, you explained the entire process and amount of fuel used.
Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
A good honest cook, looks lovely 👍
Thank you
Nice job 🎉. I have smoked a brisket in my electric master built for 14 hours and that turned out like butter, so I am very excited to try it on the gravity feed master built. Looking forward to hearing about the brisket Mac & cheese. Try Wild Fork for your meats, you won't regret it.
I was hungry before this video.. bloody starving now!
😬
Love your channel, I got hooked on you guys when you started building your outdoor kitchen as I have one also. Next time you cook a brisket try using mayonnaise instead of mustard for your binder. You will be shocked at the moisture the mayonnaise gives off without any flavor.
I can see the fat content helping...... But I'd be curious if that impacts how much smoke can penetrate the meat.
@@TKCL It did not seem to hinder the smoke flavor on my cooks, there are a few BBQ UA-camrs outthere with videos on it also. I have an appointment tomorrow with my electrician to look at seting me up with the same whole house back up system you have. Thanks for all you do!
Hi, Andrew! The voiceover was great. Wow, what a beautifully cooked brisket! You have made me hungry.
Thank you
I've done some pork butts and chuck roasts on my 800. My brother in law just turned 40 and I'm gonna cook him a brisket this weekend. Thanks for the video, it looks awesome and I hope mine turns out just as good as yours.
Good luck!
Loved the video. I couldn't agree more about the less expensive briskets. The whole point of backyard bbq is taking a cheap cut of meat and turning it into something awesome. Loves me some Montreal seasoning as well. I'm thinking about getting a gravity fed smoker. I've done skits on charcoal and pellet. I think this would be the best of both worlds with mich better flavor and less fuss. I could be wrong!
It's definitely less fuss, plus I love the flavor of charcoal and adding my own wood.
The brisket look fantastic!! I am glad it’s almost supper time your video was making me hungry. 👍👍❤❤. 🇨🇦
Oh man ! That look when you tried it 🔥man great cook ! Your oak chunks looked perfect! Love your content man ! GOD BLESS !
Thank you for watching, God bless.
that smoke ring was amazing
So good!
Looks like you nailed it. Great job for a first brisket. Your outside kitchen looks better than my inside kitchen. Nice setup
Goodluck on future cooks.
Thank you for watching
Looks like it came out tasty. a couple of shouts for you. 1, check your restaurant supply stores. I routinely get my briskets for $40-50 when they have their sales. 2, I also start with Montreal but I mix it with Lawrie's Seasoned Pepper Medley which has black pepper, red pepper, some dried bell pepper etc in it. 3, put your trimmed fat and put it in a small pot on the far left of the grill if you have space, it will render down and give you some smoked beef tallow to drizzle over the brisket right before you wrap it. 4, foil works fine, but I highly recommend you do the butcher paper. It lets a lot of the excess steam escape and lets your bark stay put a bit better.
Excellent idea on the rendered fat! Thanks!
@@TKCL excited to see more of these
Nice work! My fave cut of meat and since I started doing the hot and fast method on my 1050 it’s the only way to fly. 17 pounder including burnt ends in about 6 hrs. Not including the rest. Happy smoking!
That's super quick! Still get good smoke flavor?
Boy that looks yummy. Congratulations on your success cooking your first Brisket.
Thank you, it was awesome!
I’ve cooked about 20 or so now, use to cook those long cooks now I’ll cook one in 4-5 hrs at 375, rest for 2 hrs and the benefits to that is the flat is tender also, looks good though
Good to know
Looks Great!👍
Great video. I will never use kingsford again after using other brands and realizing how much better flavor is.
I've been experimenting with charcoals. I pay more attention to the wood I use for my flavor, that seems to make the biggest difference. I like heavy smoke.
The reaction you had was awesome 🤣👍🏻
It was delicious!
The way he looked at the camera when he took the first bite lmao!
Lol it was delicious!
Nice job man. Yeah, those big briskets take forever!
You could hear how juicy it was when you made the first cut:)))
It was delicious!
Nice job, the whole point of barbecuing is making something good with what’s considered to be cheaper, cuts, brisket and ribs and tri tips are used to be cheap, even ox tails are too much now.
Excellent. I'm intrigued by this smoker. I use lump charcoal, so should be really economical. "So fatty!" My wife wouldn't be too happy If I said "honey, it's REAL fatty!" Gimme the fat!
If you are thinking Traeger or the MB I suggest the MB. Much more natural flavors using charcoal and real wood compared to the pellets. I have had mine since release date and use it about 3-4 times a month with no issues. Plus you can get the temp up over 700 degrees on the MB and Traegers max is 500 so no option for a really good sear or reverse sear on the Traegers. Overall cleaner better flavors, higher temp, and better value on the MBs. I recommend them to everyone who wants to have a great smoker and not spend all the time tending to a fire.
That 700 degrees is amazing, I'm cooking homemade pizzas right now at a quick cooking 700 degrees.
@@J2thaCee I’ve been a happy WSM user for several years. There is a comfort zone not having to worry about electrical blowers and electronic panels. That is my caveat with purchasing a MB or pellet cooker…. So far.
That looks so good! I was at Sam's today and almost bought a prime cut for $60 but didn't since I've only smoked anything 3 times now. You make me want to go back and get it now!
That was a great price if it was,a whole brisket. Sometimes they sell flats or points only.
@The Kelley's Country Life oh it was the whole thing. I thought they were usually over $100 and was surprised at that price.
OMG!!! You didn't use Coleman's mustard??? That's heresy! :)
It really looks awesome...thank you for sharing the process with us
Lol
That brisket looked very good Andrew well done
It was awesome!
Love the cooking content on the channel.
Thank you for watching
Great cook brother! I have a 1050 and my results were nearly identical except the 1050 burns more fuel. ☹️ A great UA-camr called, “Mad Scientist BBQ” recommends basting in beef tallow just before wrapping. I have not tried this yet, but it’s fairly affordable on Amazon so it’s worth a shot to see if you can make it taste that much better and juicier.
That or another viewer recommended I save the fat trimmings and cook down in a pot while it's smoking. You then pour the smoked beef fat over the brisket and wrap. Sounds like a great idea!
I cooked a brisket once. It's fantastic and all, but requires the right mindset for the time commitment. Probably do it again whenever I retire. Btw, I've been using my left over butcher paper for toasting French bread sandwiches in the oven. I love a good grinder sandwich.
I love it, but a day and a half cooking, waking up at 3 am 😒😒. It's not something I'll do often.
That looks great! Smoked my first one on Christmas Eve. It was a hit and I will be doing it again!
They taste amazing!
@@TKCL absolutely! And I was also glad to hear you cooked a select. My first was a choice but I have a select in the freezer now. I just figured I would go lower and slower on that one.
I see no reason to pay more, it turned out great.
Love me some brisket, check out the pit barrel cooker, with mine I can smoke a brisket in about 8-10 hours and it's fantastic. I like what you're doing with the master built though, I would've bought that had I not just bought the PB.
Brisket! The Bacon Of Beef! Occasionally, we can catch it on sale for $1.99/lb, but it is usually $4.99 to $6.99. My buddy in TX trolls me with pics of briskets he can get for .99/lb. I have found that fully cooked, cut into meal sized portions, vac-sealed and frozen, it re-heats really well @ 170deg (low as our oven goes). Not as good as fresh off the smoker, but absolutely acceptably good.
Wow, cheapest I've ever seen here was $3.49lb.
Looks like any other weekend at my place 🫣 I'm always smoking brisket and tri tip or steak's. LoL. Looks fantastic and that smoke ring 👍🏽
Oh yeah the smoke ring 😍
Didn't like the recipe on the masterbuild app, searched and seen the video. Forgot all about yours so I'm giving it a try. First time on the masterbuild and it's been years since I have done one.
It turned out awesome!
OMG. That looks sooooooo good!!
It was!
When you said "I'll only do this a couple times a year" I knew later in the video you'd taste it and then re-evaluate that statement!
Lol maybe
Dude you knocked that out of the park !!!
Just because I do t know that brand of smoker. But why not use pellets? Not that there is anything wrong with the kings Ford.
Because that smoker allows me to use wood harvested right off our property and everyone loves the flavor of charcoal. Both combined make a better flavor than pellets in my opinion.
Internet and bbq I’m in!
Andrew, that master built smoker maybe Tiffany's favorite tool/toy that you have bought.
I agree! 🤣
That brisket looks amazing
Thanks!
Thank you!
i just gained 20 pounds watching this lol! nice work Andrew!
Man I haven’t smoked a brisket since 2005. That’s about when the price went up on them here, from $12-15 dollars to $30 plus. Bought a choice prime rib back in the fall for $20 less than a select brisket
I am itching to buy a full prime rib...
Great cook!
Thank you for watching
Great video. I can't wait to try it! Just curious- was there water in your foil drip pan?
No, I don't find a need for the water. I have tested it before and didn't see much of a difference.
@@TKCL Ok thank you!
Nice cook and great looking results, I could almost taste it just by looking at the expression on your face, LOL. May want to look into getting a slicing knife or an electric knife, I can't live without mine now. Love watching your videos!
A good knife is on my list.
I'm going to give a go to putting it in the foil and not covering the top to start instead of using a pan this time period let's see how it goes
Good luck
nice work. Any sort of slow cooking process like smoking, or stewing or braising or roasting or the slow cooker really dont need a prime or choice cut of meat to produce great flavor. Most of the reasons something would be prime or choice have are not something that affects those cooking methods greatly.
Can't tell the rest of UA-cam land that. Everyone has went waygu crazy. I'm a simple man when it come to food, affordable and tasty is my biggest requests 🤣.
Don't know about waygu crazy. I cook one every 2 yrs just to say i did. I was the same as you couldn't see spending the extra money for choice or prime. This is what I've gathered from multiple cooks. Choice and prime are easier to cook. Shrink less. And you do get a better slice from the flat. So i will pay a little more for all those reasons. But you're doing it right. Tweak those selects till you are happy. Then upgrade to choice followed by prime. You will see the difference. Last buy a waygu and smoke it. Just to say you did. They cook fast and have a different flavor from American breeds.
Beef brisket - my favorite 👌!
So good!
That looked delicious 😋. Looking to get me a smoker when they come back in stock locally.
I got a 16.25lb prime brisket at Costco for $65. If you have a Costco nearby, it's worth the membership.
We are joined with them, I will be checking that out. Excellent price for prime!
I just found one at Kroger for $35! I can't wait to put it on the grill.
That's a steal!
Killed it 👍🏼
Looks good.
It was!
Costco have prime brisket cheap I bought a 12.46 lb for $50 n it was awesome
I'll have to check that out
I love this video
Looks good
If you go to Costco the prime brisket is the same price
That looks really good. Where can I get a rack / grate like the one in this video?
From LSS mods, they make all kinds of mods for these grills.
Price point smoking on the MB!!!
fun fact, any roast will taste this good when cooked this way... and takes less time since you wont find a roast this big but catch them on sale and can usually get as low as $4 a pound...
Problem is roast is $5 a pound here, Brisket is $3.99lb. Brisket for the win!
@@TKCL how crazy is that!!!
I’m 42 and I’ve never cooked a brisket may have to try it soon
I'm right behind you. It's a long process, but very tasty.
Sold bro
Looks good! I'd ask how long it took you from when you got your smoker till you built up the courage to risk a $150 piece of meat for your first brisket but you made a smart choice in doing the select. I can't wait till I get a smoker.
No need to ever buy anything but select with how good this turned out.
Nice!! Looks yummy.... 🙂
Wow your brisket looked great
It was awesome!
Yum, will definitely be trying the select cut. Is the brisket basically a good mac n cheese plus bricket added? Or....
Yes or you can pile all the on a bun for a messy delicious meal.
Andrew your making me hungry Yummy
The whole point of BBQ was to take cheap and otherwise all but inedible cuts of meat and make them delicious. Going to prime and wagyu seems to really go against the whole idea. That said. I've had great BBQ made with prime and wagyu, but I'm just not sure it's worth the price. Good on you for going back to the roots!
Like you, I used to have an Oklahoma Joe reverse flow smoker. I added a thermostatically controlled fan to regulate the temperature. How do you think your new 800 Masterbuilt compares to the Okie Joe?
Two different machines so to speak. Love the convenience and control of the master built. The Oklahoma Joe does produce s slightly better flavor with more pronounced smoke. With that said I haven't fired up the Joe in a long time.
@@TKCL I can understand that. When we moved the Okie Joe stayed behind since we didn't want all our stuff to smell like wood smoke. I was ready to get a pellet smoker until I saw mention of the gravity smokers which look VERY nice. On the smoke level question, this fellow put together a video where he loaded his Char-Griller gravity smoker with nothing but wood. Interesting idea! ua-cam.com/video/VrS2d5x5a2Y/v-deo.html
Awesome Sh$t bro. I agree with you if you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on prime or the wagu. You made it so easy cause it is. I have a Traeger and the same applies except the charcoal. Thank you for just keeping it simple. It didn't look like you needed to inject it.
Nope it was great as is. Thanks for watching
The metal grate you have on it are they from Master built or bought them some where else. Please let me I need one.
Those are from LSS mods, he makes all kinds of mods for this smoker.
Prime brisket $2.99/lb at Costco my friend.
Hey man where did you get that black grill handle cover from? The handle definitely gets hot when the tops up 😂
It comes with the Costco model.
@@TKCL o ok you would think the oke with the griddle would have that 🤦🏽♂️😂 thanks for replying
I'm first for once!
Congrats! Caught me off guard today! Lol
I accidentally scheduled the wrong time 😬
@@TKCL Don't let it happen again! 🤣
Sometimes you have to let crystal 🔮 win 🤷🏽♂️.... LoL congrats 🎉🎉
Where did you buy that larger secondary grate you put the brisket on?
LSS mods, watch this video ua-cam.com/video/WUk2b3dSWpY/v-deo.html
Have you tried using the lump charcoal in the cooker.
Yes I have, it doesn't pack in well, I've found I prefer briquettes for how much I can get in and length of cook. I honestly can't taste a difference because I smoke heavily with wood.
@@TKCL I agree. I normally break mine up to smaller pieces when I use the lump charcoal. But my main question is where was our invite because that brisket looooooooooked gooooooooood
Lol
Where did you get that extra great? I'd like to get one for the 560.
LSS mods makes all kinds of accessories for these grills.
I just ate my phone. Thanks 🤤
Why did you use regular charcoal and not lump charcoal?
I've ran both, I prefer the briquettes because they fill the hopper better and don't bridge over like lump can sometimes do.
$4/lb for select and untrimmed? Wow. I feel spoiled in California. We get those for $3/lb for little 4-5lb. Bigger chunks are below $2.
Never seen those prices here. I've noticed viewers in Texas or closer as you are get very good deals on beef. A lot of cattle that direction.
Omg Andrew. I work at a barbecue restaurant and I love brisket. Have you ever tried burnt ends. If you are interested in trying to make burnt ends you are only a couple of sets away from where you are at with that. I can tell you if you would like to know.
It's on my short list to make
@@TKCL when you pull the meat off at 160. Keep it out for a little bit let it cool down a little. I use rubber gloves because it is hot but you can see on the side of the brisket where the two parts start to separate. You can use a knife if it’s too hot for you but it’s best to use your hand. Slide your hand through the middle separated the two pieces. Take the bottom piece wrap it and cook like you did. But take the top piece and (Don’t wrap) and cook it. You want to melt off some of that fat. Maybe 1 1/2 hours. Take it off and let it cool completely. Once it’s hardened up. You can cut it in to chunks. You can use a skillet or the black stone and cook with your favorite barbecue sauce. Oh my mouth is watering. I hope you try it. It is so worth the few extra steps.
A little brown sugar on that piece should make a sweet snack.
@@TKCL you mentioned the different ways you can use your brisket. Being that it’s cold outside. At the restaurant we make beef and vegetable soup. The smoke flavor is so good in the soup. I’m a bit old fashioned with smoking but I love the art of smoking meat.
Smoked meat is my favorite way to eat meat.
Did you use this lss mods? Also, where did you get the cover for your tv?
Yes I have LSS mods, here is that video ua-cam.com/video/kzxowTAEuu4/v-deo.html Here is my tv cover amzn.to/3xr1vB8
If you rank that brisket a 10 what would you rank the poor man’s brisket that you cooked?
A 7, this was fattier and more flavor.
I paid $60 for a choice Brisket from Costco. I recommend Costco for anyone who wants to buy a brisket! Also, my brisket is 16 lbs and I think I might need to start it at 2pm to be ready for lunch at noon the next day! I am thinking of smoking it till 6am, wrap it and put it in the cooler to rest! Do I need a smaller Cooler? I have a huge one and I think the brisket may be too small for the big one! Any help I would appreciate it!
Any cooler is fine, just wrap it in a couple of big towels before putting it in the cooler.
Where did you get that top rack? Does it come with the smoker?
Top rack comes with the Costco model. Middle big rack is from LSS mods.
