Oh man - what a great idea and it makes total sense. Time/Temp - you wanna do hot and fast, go for it. If you want low and very slow and have it run during the week, this is awesome ! Nice job ! Also, never thought about mixing those rubs together but i can totally see how that would work. I love both on their own. I have a 30day wet aged brisket in the fridge. Might be time to bust it out and try that process and rub combination ! Nice job !
This is trash smoking, let's see someone like Franklin or honestly myself smoke a real meat. Sit inside and and watch your phone, I'll sit outside drinking a beer and enjoy nature.
Man some haters lol. Lol maybe I do this and tend to my chickens, or walk my dog, or offer my help with cows/horses etc. Lol or sit on my porch and drink a bear while watching my chickens swing...
@@chancey23071 Welp, I'm friends with Aaron, and he unlike you, knows how many grills and smokers that I have. No BBQ professionals have issue or care what type of cooker you choose to cook on. The point of this video is the convenience of this option during the week while you are at work where you can't run and build a fire remotely. If you don't work and sit outside drinking beer all week long then feel free to come and join me for a cook anytime!
Matt, trimmed a 17# Costco prime brisket according to your instructions. Seasoned with Holy Gospel/Cow likewise. Started smoking at 190 at 3pm, woke up and wrapped in 40# peach at 3am, took it up to 275 at 6:30am, off the Treager at 10:00am (204 degrees), and out of the cooler at 1:00pm for SuperBowl lunch and a large family gathering. This was my first real experience (and brisket) with my new 575 pro. You turned me into a championship smoker out of the gate. Everyone raved. Thank You so much for sage advice.
Did my first brisket off this video! I put in on 190 @ 8 pm. Wrapped it 8am. Cranked it up to 250 at 11:30 am. Internal temp hit 195 around 1:30 pm. Let it rest for a couple of hours. Everyone raved about it!!! Thank you so much. I had zero leftovers on a 10 pounder.
I did my first brisket this weekend and followed your instructions as needed. My brisket turned out amazing! I was extremely intimidated cooking a brisket but by following this video it made it extremely easy. I’m so thankful for this channel and for the videos and products you produce. You’ve definitely helped me step my game up.
Beautiful brisket! It took me a few briskets on my trager to perfect. I was starting out too hot at 225-250. Learned to back it down to 180, Be patient and then turn it up when in the crutch. Pull at 200 rest 1 hour. Very similar to what you did.
I followed the directions, and smoked a brisket from HEB, it turned out amazing, was a hit with family and friends, great smoke ring, bark was awesome...thanks!!
I’ve now officially replicated this recipe as instructed 3x now. I’ve had 3 perfect briskets. Everyone who has tasted it has said this is probably the best brisket they have ever had. I feel like a “master” Texas BBQ chef. I have the smaller timberline. Please do a pork shoulder recipe on this. Please do more, so I continue to impress friends and family out here in California!
Meat Church BBQ looking forward to it! Also, looking to possibly bbq a brisket and pork shoulder at the same time! Even if I have to stagger the start times.
Thank you Matt for this video! I've always wondered how to smoke a brisket during the work week. Of course low and slow is the key, didn't want to try it and risk ending up with a burnt dried piece of meat. After watching this, I tried this method on a big ol' 20lbs brisket (after trimming too), fat cap up, just SPG no binder, 12 hours on 180F, then wrapped with butcher for 4 hrs at 275F. Rested for 2 hrs (waiting for guests to arrive), it was amazing! Bark was excellent, meat was very juicy and tender. Thanks again!!!
Halfway through my first brisket cook. A flat on my Pit Boss. After eight hours, the bark is developing nicely and it’s glossy shiny. Killer brisket sammiches on fresh homemade bread. Can’t wait. Thank you for posting your delicious recipes. 👍👍
Cook completed and just had some for lunch. Holey cows, that was good! Time and money well spent! Never would have tried a brisket without your videos. A big ol’ pork butt is next! Thank you!
I’ve tried smoking a brisket on my Traeger 4 or 5 times at 225 degrees, but it always seemed to cook too fast and would come out chewy, and would have very little bark on it. I thought it was just a limitation of the Traeger, and came close to selling it, and getting a traditional wood smoker. I just tried this method, smoked at 190 for about 12 hrs, and bumped it up to 250 for another 4 hrs. It came out perfect!! Best brisket I’ve ever had. Thanks Matt, keep preaching!!
It just goes to show you. There are many different ways to cook and get great results. I have a Memphis Advantage and I remember my first brisket on it. I was so stressed out because I had guests coming over and trying to decide when to put it on and what temp was unsettling to say the least. I put it on at at 200 around 11 at night and served it the next night around 7 after a 2 hour rest. It was amazing. I tell everyone that will listen, get a quality pellet grill for every day grill. Makes it simple . Loved the video.
Just got a Traeger for my birthday and stumbled upon your videos. I used the 275 temp method you showed and cooked an awesome first brisket on my Traeger. Digging these bbq videos from a fellow Texan!
I have to comment on this. I tried this recipe Saturday afternoon for Sunday afternoon get together. I was able to buy the rubs locally at a Sheels. I was extremely nervous about a long cook, so I injected the flat and spritzed with left over injection and beef stock. Rested it for 2.5 hours in the cooler. This was the BEST brisket I have ever tasted! The flat was juicy and so tender. The bark was awesome. I cook on a Rectec pellet smoker. This is the only way I will cook brisket from now on! Thank you sir!
You nailed it Rob. There are other ways but why experiment when you know what works for you. I can't see rushing it when the meat is so expensive and the guests are looking for a good meal. When you get good results it just makes you want to do it again
Many, many thanks for a great video! In the past my briskets have been dry and a little tough - it’s been frustrating. Then I went to Meat Church! Between this video and your brisket preparation video, I finally nailed it! Thank you!
I just did a variation of this this past weekend on my MasterBuilt Gravity Series 1050. Put it on at 9pm at 190 degrees, pulled it at 10am the next day, internal temp 165, wrapped in butcher paper. Put it back on at 250 and it was done (205 internal and probe tender) at 12:15p. Let sit on the counter (still wrapped) for 30 min, then wrapped in a towel and put in a dry cooler for 4 hrs. The best bark I've ever produced on that MasterBuilt and it was super jiggly. Best results I've had with a brisket yet, and that's saying a lot given what I've been able to produce so far!
This is the comment I was searching for! I have a Masterbuilt 1050 and want to try this method this weekend. I figured it would work pretty much as it did on the Treager. I just wanted confirmation. Thanks!
First time smoking brisket and this method worked like a charm! I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to make it another way with how much everyone enjoyed it. Can’t thank you enough for the help.
Thank you Matt for all of your recipes and videos. I made my first brisket after watching a couple of other videos and it turned out terrible. Then, someone told me to watch your channel when I get ready to make my next one. I watched your "how to trim a brisket" video along with this "weeknight brisket" video. I used the Holy Cow and Holy Gospel and followed both videos to the letter. My next brisket turned out fantastic. I never thought I would love smoking and grilling so much until you made it so simple and easy on the Traeger. I have found a wonderful new hobby to do with my husband. Thank you so much for showing us novices that we too can do it!!!
I finally had a chance to try this method. It's a WINNER in every sense of the word for me. I not only wound up with my best brisket to date, the flexibility this method provides made "serving day" just about stress free. This is on point (pun intended)!!!
Matt, loved the video and your humor. Thanks for keeping it real brother with a real life application for working people who don't want to wait to have great brisket on the weekend. You showed how to use the Wifi app in a useful and practical way to still achieve a great brisket. Cannot wait to try it as your other video for brisket on a Traeger for when we have more time was a HUGE HIT. Blessing to you and your family.
Matt, thanks for this video man! I have been putting off smoking a brisket on my Traeger for quite some time just because of the time involved. Well, this past weekend I decided I would give it a go, and I followed this process to a tee. Trimmed it up, seasoned with Traeger Prime Rib Rub, smoked, wrapped in butcher paper and ended the cook with a 2 hour rest in my cooler. I could not have asked for anything better with my first attempt. Beautiful bark, perfect smoke ring, and juicy as all get up. Me and my family could not be happier with the outcome. Keep up the great work man!
Just want to say “Thank You” for this video. I followed your lead and cooked the best brisket I’ve ever cooked last night. Put it on at 9PM on a Monday night & pulled it off at 12:30PM today, Tuesday (it was a small brisket, i.e. 8 lbs.). It rested till 7PM dinner, and it was great. Cooked it on my new Recteq grill-I’ve got an offset stick burner, but was so nice not to have to babysit a fire.
Uuuummmm, is that grill really called "Bad Ass Mofo"? Love It Matt. I've done this about 4 times on my 1300 and it's always perfect. Thanks for the great, simple recipes
Your daughter’s shirt tells me everything I need to know about your family. Thanks for the tips on cooking Brisket and stay safe with family and friends!!!
I love my Traeger and have to honestly say it simplifies your life. I have yet to try a Brisket but I know when the time comes it will be a low stress day lol.
I’m new to smoking meat but always loved TX bbq during my travels. Just got a pit boss pro series. Glad I found this channel. Looking forward to learning new skills and recipes
I was nervous as hell but I just did my first brisket ever with this technique, 17lb after trim. I had to raise temp gradually throughout the day to get it to temp but it came out fantastic and everyone loved it . Thanks much for this video
You just earned another sub from a fellow Texan. Always wanted to have brisket during the week but didn't want to risk ruining a brisket ($$$) while I was at work. Thanks for this video.
Just finished my first Traeger brisket. Followed this video / recipe to the T and it turned out fantastic !! Thanks for helping me cook my first brisket...
Matt thank you for this and all of your videos. I have been trying to learn more and do more. Your knowledge and expertise has really inspired me. My family and friends have been enjoying the fruits of my labors. Thanks again. Steve's Backyard Food
I have used this method 4 or 5 times now! Its epic and easy...although I use the Big Green Egg without all the tech on his Traeger, and I just ensure its low enough at night and holds temp until the morning when I can wrap it! Thanks for this video!!
Nailed it! I need to work on my trimming skills, started 7pm Friday night, had a larger point, had to cut it off and put it back on the pit, Serve dinner at 6 o’clock
Never made a Brisket before but bought a Traeger from the state fair and had to try this. Did almost exactly like the video plus the other video on how to trim the brisket and boy oh boy was so juicy it made a mess lol so tender did not even need a knife. Thanks for the great video really enjoyed the food!
Just used this method for an overnight cook. Put it on at 190° at 6pm. Wrapped at 5:30am around 170°, then turned up to 275°. Took it off around 8am a little high at 210°, but turned out awesome. Gigantic smoke ring and very tender. First time using a water pan too.
Great video. I'll have to talk to my brother. He has the Traeger! And.... everything about your daughter says but you are a great dad. Keep it up. Unsung heroes.....
I know the Timberline XL is the latest Traeger available, but I recently purchased the Timberline 1300 since Ace is currently discounting it to $1700. I really enjoyed watching this video, so I might just make brisket my first cook on the Traeger using your instructions. Thanks!
Did my long cook this weekend and it was excellent! It did finish quicker than I wanted so I had to lower temp back to 200 for a couple hours. Very happy with y first ever Brisket!!
I almost gave up on brisket after not being able to smoke a good one after my 5th attempt. I just did this method and it’s one of the best briskets I’ve ever tried. Thank you!!
@@chrishayes7551 I'm familiar with them for awhile, and I'm not a fan. They don't have a variable speed fan, so cooks temps aren't as consistent because of the flucuation of temps. Their auger doesn't go in reverse either, in case of an auger jam. Those two reasons alone are why these new Traegers are better than your choice. Because they've added things that help the cooking process, not just some shiny steer horns.
@@evilnoriega 40# Hopper, 95% Stainless Steel, Have run just over 850# of pellets (all brands) and have NEVER had a "jam" Don't need a variable speed when you cook at low temps it turns itself on and off. Have done MULTIPLE 24 hour cooks and temp has stayed rock solid entire cook. Traegers are throw aways after 5 years of use. My kids will be using the TEC many years into the future.
@@chrishayes7551 Good for you. I've done all of the above on my old Traeger and it's still kicking after 5 years. Same motor and all. Only one jam in all those years and it was user error. The variable speed applies to all temps, not just slow n low. But you do you...I hope you get your commission check from Rec Tec.lol
This was really cool. Can't believe some of the negative comments here. Im new to BBQ and I was telling my brother that my favorite part of it was the warm community that there is. Thanks for the video. I just bought a digital charcoal smoker with wifi, not as fancy or easy as the Traeger but I think I could pull this off!
Smoked my first brisket using this method and it came out amazing! Had to pull it off a little sooner than planned but let it rest 4 hours in the cooler until it was time to eat!
Yep, I followed this method exactly with two briskets together, a 7kg (15.5 lb) and a 5kg (11.00 lb), in a Traeger Ironwood 885, over 20 hours including a rest period. Perfect!
My first ever video of Mear Church was of his smoked turkey about a year ago. It turned out to look so great and I bet it tasted amazing. I remembering commenting about the Treager he was using, which I now have one year later. Thanks Matt for making video like this, because of them I've learned how to use a smoker and I love it! Planning on making a trip from San Antonio to your shop in Waxahachie pretty soon.
I’m running an old school Traeger. The one with the round pellet hopper! Only two things I’ve replaced was a glow plug and the thermostat from the 3 position switch to a digital. Too bad that WiFi controller couldn’t adapt to my old grill. I’ll keep it going for as long as I can cause it’s paid for and it keeps winning me our company bbq cook off!
Matt!!!! I can't wrap my head around how you smoke it for almost 24 hours lol....I did my first brisket 11lb at 225 one time and it was done in 9 hours....using pit boss 700fb...I couldn't imagine starting it s day ahead of time.....love your channel from winnipeg, manitoba, Canada
Good lookin brisket, also have the 1300, pictured left, it never fails, am in Flower Mound, will head your way soon, wanna see your shop...thx for sharing
I have a Zgrills pellet grill but I’m almost sold on a nice oversized treager after watching this lol. Awesome content Matt. Watching from north east Indiana.
Hey Matt loved the video! For folks like you who do this all the time, I'll bet you've got a pretty decent cooking log/notebook. Ever considered putting together a matrix of temps vs time for a specific size brisket? For instance, 190* for approx 24 hrs;, up through 275* for approx 12 hrs, (and fill in the middle temps/times at say 10* increments) for something everyone could use as a guideline... Thanks for all you do and share. I'm a big fan of your BBQStars work!
Gotta save me some money for a Traeger. One day I worked from home and did a brisket on my WSM. Can’t control the temps as easy as shown here. Thanks for the explanation.
You made my first brisket awesome! Did this weekday style, even though it was a weekend on just the flat portion of a brisket. Crazy awesome smoke ring. Love this channel. Also love that you are a RTR guy!
I let mine go till it hits 160 in the "smoke setting", then go to 225 for the duration. Then I wrap it. I've only done 2 briskets, but that works very well for me. Great smoke flavor and a great 'bark'. Then it rests for 2 hours in a cooler. Thanks for the pointers, sir. I think I'm ready to upgrade mine with the Timberline.
Oh man - what a great idea and it makes total sense. Time/Temp - you wanna do hot and fast, go for it. If you want low and very slow and have it run during the week, this is awesome ! Nice job ! Also, never thought about mixing those rubs together but i can totally see how that would work. I love both on their own. I have a 30day wet aged brisket in the fridge. Might be time to bust it out and try that process and rub combination ! Nice job !
This is trash smoking, let's see someone like Franklin or honestly myself smoke a real meat. Sit inside and and watch your phone, I'll sit outside drinking a beer and enjoy nature.
Tommy t you're a paid troll for this shit. Calm the fuck down, If you have a 30 day brisket put it on some real coals and have a real meal.
Man some haters lol. Lol maybe I do this and tend to my chickens, or walk my dog, or offer my help with cows/horses etc. Lol or sit on my porch and drink a bear while watching my chickens swing...

If my wife sees this I am in trouble
I told her I must stay near smoker at all times no matter how long
and how many beers it takes
Kevin McFarland lol!!!
thats a fact!!!!
It's the law! Health and safety dictates you must be present to counter any fire danger that the grill presents when left unattended!
Pretty big brisket hun, this one might take 10-12 beers to get it cooked right

Matt thank you for this and all of your videos. I have been trying to learn more and do more. Your knowledge and expertise has really inspired me. My family and friends have been enjoying the fruits of my labors. Thanks again.

My pleasure & thank you for the feedback & motivation!!
Following this to cook my first brisket on a new Traeger. Thank you for putting this together.
I have used this method 4 or 5 times now! Its epic and easy...although I use the Big Green Egg without all the tech on his Traeger, and I just ensure its low enough at night and holds temp until the morning when I can wrap it! Thanks for this video!!
I’m doing my first brisket tonight on my new 650 Ironwood. Thanks for this video, I’m looking forward to tomorrow nights dinner!
Nailed it! I need to work on my trimming skills, started 7pm Friday night, had a larger point, had to cut it off and put it back on the pit, Serve dinner at 6 o’clock
Never made a Brisket before but bought a Traeger from the state fair and had to try this. Did almost exactly like the video plus the other video on how to trim the brisket and boy oh boy was so juicy it made a mess lol so tender did not even need a knife. Thanks for the great video really enjoyed the food!
Just used this method for an overnight cook. Put it on at 190° at 6pm. Wrapped at 5:30am around 170°, then turned up to 275°. Took it off around 8am a little high at 210°, but turned out awesome.
Gigantic smoke ring and very tender. First time using a water pan too.
The video that inspired me to buy my Ironwood 885! So dang good. Got my brisket thawing out right now in prep for tomorrow!
Love our Ironwood. Enjoy!
Great video. I'll have to talk to my brother. He has the Traeger! And.... everything about your daughter says but you are a great dad. Keep it up. Unsung heroes.....
I know the Timberline XL is the latest Traeger available, but I recently purchased the Timberline 1300 since Ace is currently discounting it to $1700. I really enjoyed watching this video, so I might just make brisket my first cook on the Traeger using your instructions. Thanks!
Did my long cook this weekend and it was excellent! It did finish quicker than I wanted so I had to lower temp back to 200 for a couple hours. Very happy with y first ever Brisket!!
I almost gave up on brisket after not being able to smoke a good one after my 5th attempt.
I just did this method and it’s one of the best briskets I’ve ever tried. Thank you!!
I was perfectly happy with my Traeger Texas Elite, but now I know that need to upgrade. Thanks for the video, Matt!
Do some homework.... REC TEC is FAR superior to Traeger (or most) in almost every way.
@@chrishayes7551 I'm familiar with them for awhile, and I'm not a fan. They don't have a variable speed fan, so cooks temps aren't as consistent because of the flucuation of temps. Their auger doesn't go in reverse either, in case of an auger jam. Those two reasons alone are why these new Traegers are better than your choice. Because they've added things that help the cooking process, not just some shiny steer horns.
@@evilnoriega 40# Hopper, 95% Stainless Steel, Have run just over 850# of pellets (all brands) and have NEVER had a "jam" Don't need a variable speed when you cook at low temps it turns itself on and off. Have done MULTIPLE 24 hour cooks and temp has stayed rock solid entire cook. Traegers are throw aways after 5 years of use. My kids will be using the TEC many years into the future.
@@chrishayes7551 Good for you. I've done all of the above on my old Traeger and it's still kicking after 5 years. Same motor and all. Only one jam in all those years and it was user error. The variable speed applies to all temps, not just slow n low. But you do you...I hope you get your commission check from Rec Tec.lol
@@chrishayes7551 Indeed i read the Rectec weighs about 80lbs more than the comparable Traeger unit
This was really cool. Can't believe some of the negative comments here. Im new to BBQ and I was telling my brother that my favorite part of it was the warm community that there is.
Thanks for the video. I just bought a digital charcoal smoker with wifi, not as fancy or easy as the Traeger but I think I could pull this off!
Smoked my first brisket using this method and it came out amazing! Had to pull it off a little sooner than planned but let it rest 4 hours in the cooler until it was time to eat!
Yep, I followed this method exactly with two briskets together, a 7kg (15.5 lb) and a 5kg (11.00 lb), in a Traeger Ironwood 885, over 20 hours including a rest period. Perfect!
New to pellet smoking & really enjoying your videos! Big thanks from east TX!
I'm gonna try this tomorrow. I just picked up the Pro 575. Please keep these videos coming! I'm super pumped about the experience
I’m thinking about getting the 575, how did it turn out? Any advice?
@@roytrevino9714 I absolutely love it!!!! Best cooking investment that I've ever made. Its honestly changed the way that I plan our family meals.
Just want to say thanks , I tried it and it was great . My first time making a Brisket
I ordered your ribs the for the 1st time a couple years ago, no I can find them at my local ace. Best rubs I’ve had!!
Trey Walker thank you!
Need more videos from you. Great Job
Just found you, man. Dallas boy, here. I’ll definitely be attending when we open life back up!
People live in Dallas? Lol
@@texasadam4236 J.R.?🤷♂️😂
My first ever video of Mear Church was of his smoked turkey about a year ago. It turned out to look so great and I bet it tasted amazing. I remembering commenting about the Treager he was using, which I now have one year later. Thanks Matt for making video like this, because of them I've learned how to use a smoker and I love it! Planning on making a trip from San Antonio to your shop in Waxahachie pretty soon.
Jeff A thank you Jeff!
Man brother I enjoy all your videos! I like how you keep it simple and how you explain step by step! Would love to meet ya!
moved from KS to AZ, always miss a true BBQ!!! nice video and some serious full belly's!
Michael O'Connor ever had KC BBQ?
Absolutely, big time Arthur Bryant's fan!!! Mid-west BBQ is the real deal.
Michael O'Connor nice. Love it there too. I love Joe’s as well. Both got some awesome BBQ.
Matt, I have been wondering how to do a brisket during the workweek. Thanks for showing us all how. I'm definitely putting this technique to use!
I’m running an old school Traeger. The one with the round pellet hopper! Only two things I’ve replaced was a glow plug and the thermostat from the 3 position switch to a digital. Too bad that WiFi controller couldn’t adapt to my old grill. I’ll keep it going for as long as I can cause it’s paid for and it keeps winning me our company bbq cook off!
love your videos. I will follow. Awesome
Big fan of bbq channels. Just found yours and it’s my new favorite
Loved this video! Would love to see a few on the Big Green Egg
Super helpful video. Thanks for sharing!
Very good video, thanks for sharing !
Matt!!!! I can't wrap my head around how you smoke it for almost 24 hours lol....I did my first brisket 11lb at 225 one time and it was done in 9 hours....using pit boss 700fb...I couldn't imagine starting it s day ahead of time.....love your channel from winnipeg, manitoba, Canada
Haha wow that looks so so good.
I don't have a trager bbq mine is traditional wood smoker so you gotta keep eyes on it at all times.
Great video man👍
My Traeger is on its way! Can not wait! These videos have been inspiring to say the least.
Excellent video, Matt. Hope to see more content like this.
Matt you are a genius! I can't wait to do this!
Good lookin brisket, also have the 1300, pictured left, it never fails, am in Flower Mound, will head your way soon, wanna see your shop...thx for sharing
Well done. U cut to the chase. Thumbs up
I have a Zgrills pellet grill but I’m almost sold on a nice oversized treager after watching this lol. Awesome content Matt. Watching from north east Indiana.
Good looking Brisket
I just bought my traeger I've been looking for recipes and tips . By far you have the best content. Thank you .
Awesome videos! More please!
That’s awesome Brother
Hey Matt loved the video! For folks like you who do this all the time, I'll bet you've got a pretty decent cooking log/notebook. Ever considered putting together a matrix of temps vs time for a specific size brisket? For instance, 190* for approx 24 hrs;, up through 275* for approx 12 hrs, (and fill in the middle temps/times at say 10* increments) for something everyone could use as a guideline... Thanks for all you do and share. I'm a big fan of your BBQStars work!
Mike Schoonmaker at the end of the day it’s still going to be the meat that decides when it’s done not time
Traeger ironwood 885 loves that recipe!!! Thanks brother!
Gotta save me some money for a Traeger. One day I worked from home and did a brisket on my WSM. Can’t control the temps as easy as shown here. Thanks for the explanation.
Good job mr. Thank you
Very nice!
You made my first brisket awesome! Did this weekday style, even though it was a weekend on just the flat portion of a brisket. Crazy awesome smoke ring. Love this channel. Also love that you are a RTR guy!
This is a great video. I’m cooking my first brisket ever tomorrow on my Oklahoma Joe’s Bronco.
I let mine go till it hits 160 in the "smoke setting", then go to 225 for the duration. Then I wrap it. I've only done 2 briskets, but that works very well for me. Great smoke flavor and a great 'bark'. Then it rests for 2 hours in a cooler. Thanks for the pointers, sir. I think I'm ready to upgrade mine with the Timberline.
How long does yours take ?
@@MichaelBlocksom Usually between 11 and 12 hours for an 9lb brisket
This is great! I just got into the Traeger world and have been using Matt's stuff as gospel!
Great video, next time I go home to Ennis I’ll be sure to stop by the store.
His Daughters smile when he unwraps that Brisket.
GREAT VIDEOS!!! how do you only have 14.6k subscribers?!?!?! I just found you today and am excited to look at all your videos!
Just saw you only have a couple videos... MAKE MORE PLEASE!
Your videographer is excellent.
