I was having the same thought at Midnight. "What am I doing?" Well I just bought my 1st grass fed 1/2 steer and I am going to marry this with my green egg. Been in California for a decade. Moving back to Indiana, closer to family, and looking forward to learning, improving and feeding a very large extended family.
Only just a year ago you guys had half the subscribers you do now, and after watching this video it certainly shows. I can see why, professional and interesting. Thanks and great work.
I appreciate the wholesome interaction between these guys. Love watching their proficiency with a knife & clear experience with animal anatomy. Serious salt of the earth peeps.
Thank you for this video. I’ve been using it for several months now every time I make a brisket on a Traeger. I tweak the rubs every time but it has helped me make a perfect brisket every time!
I am retired meat cutter. For the first 15 years we cut swinging beef (rail) Then a major chain bought the smaller chain I worked for. From then boxed beef. It is so refreshing to see people that know how to break beef and know how to process the cuts. When I started with a major chain Safeway ,the people were I worked knew little or nothing about where the cuts they were cutting came from on the beef. Thanks for all of your videos.
@@loganmd34 well it being a how to video for people that don't know how to BBQ i can understand it, maybe they should add text in during the edit rather than so much talking.
Had an older couple come in today looking for denver steaks that they heard about from the bearded butcher channel. Set them up good and we had a fun chat about you guys
Great show, excellent instructions from beginning to end. Love the back and forth between the two brothers. I'm new to smoking and the instruction here is outstanding. Thanks to you both.
Love your videos! Especially ones like these where you show exactly where the cut from and finish with an amazing recipe or technique for grilling the meat. I'm learning so much from your videos and I love it. Keep up the good work!
Boys, I absolutely love your videos. The content is great, start to finish. It’s really good to see how committed you are to being clear and to the point, no nonsense, just pure knowledge of what you do. Keep up the good work.
I’d like to say first of all just an awesome video. I just got home from 6 days in the hospital battling this Covid virus and finally am recovering . I have never sat down and been so informed of how to cook my briskets on my egg like this before. Once I am back to work and can get back to my passion of grilling for me and my family you sirs have a viewer and customer for life. Thank you for the efforts put forth to keep humble guys like me informed of the process of great grilling .
Gentlemen, let me say that it’s very rare that you see a video where it’s comes right from the steer to the table! Well done! The other thing that I absolutely loved is the repurposed beams and tools and kids in the background. That’s exactly like my grandfathers old blacksmith shed! You can tell your stuff is a business, yet a labor of love and family. I am totally following your recipe on my Traeger tomorrow. Unfortunately I will have to use my own rub...I look forward to getting yours,! I’m also recommending you on our small FACEBOOK group. It only has 770 members but I think they will love you guys
Me and my family were in the store today to check it out and pick up some rub to try out. Met Scott he looked he was busy but he took a bit of time to talk to me. Looking forward to trying out this rub this weekend
@@TheBeardedButchers I just got done pulling an 11lbs Pork butt OMG your OG rub IS AMAZING I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD EVER MAKES SOMETHING SO GOOD!!!!!!! Definitely gonna get the big tub on our next trip
@@russellmcdonald6033 did a pork butt myself a few days ago ! Its the bomb. A great snack to have on hand. I pull out chunks and just munch through out the day/eve. Enjoy. Cheers
I love watching this channel. Something about watching passionate people explaining what they do. They don't skip a beat and seem to be able to explain why they make the cuts they make. We'll done, stay safe and best wishes
I saw the title and thought - Awesome, I'll be able to pick between a Traeger and Big Green Egg. Nope. Each has it's strengths. Your videos are so well done. The explanations are rock solid. The only thing missing from the experience is taste and smell.
The fact that they will come back to like a post well over a year after the video was posted says a lot about them. Peace and prosperity to these homies. Also, just got my new Traeger! Can't wait for my first smoke!
You are Masters of your art,trained by Masters! Your videos demonstrate a skill set fine honed by generations of knowledge! A family fountain of knowledge! Fascinating to watch!
Well done and one of the most informative. Watched it 2X, and still learning something new. Now I’m famished, in need of a brisket sandwich. Keep up the good work.
These videos help me as I’m getting ready to do all my own processing of all my animals myself. The man who taught me what I do know didn’t teach me the way y’all do a lot of stuff. He was old school and didn’t save a brisket it went straight to ground meat. He got steaks, roasts and burger. Another great video guys. Keep em coming
I buy my beef 1/2 cow at a time and my butcher is the same way. They use the brisket as hamburger......so sad. I have since corrected the way they cut my meat for me. Clearly my mistake not understanding the whole process but I do now.
I've watch a number of your videos on butchering, what cuts are what and now cooking a couple of briskets. Your videos are great! I enjoy every one I've seen and look forward to watch them all! Thank you!
I love watching you guys. I am a meat cutter. For most of us the days of swinging beef are over. But not for you guys. I learn something new with every video I watch. Weather it be a technique or just some tid bit I did not know because I don't get to butcher an entire cow or pig. Thanks guys.
Awesome video! In the beginning, if you remove the clod then pull the brisket you will end up with a little bigger brisket. Make about a half inch deep cut along the edge of the brisket (top to bottom) then as you pull it let gravity help you out. Much easier than taking the brisket off with the chuck, clod and shank.
Bearded Butchers, Maybe you can answer this question. I've been told that by doing the "trick" mentioned above that it doesn't support the creators videos. Is that accurate or anyway you can check? I would think by scrolling to the end and taping replay then it still gives credit to the creator of the video as someone watching it but I could be wrong. I have no clue how it judges the views.... just curious because I hate ads and commercials and I'm not trying to screw creators over...only UA-cam lolol
Great video, but you don't want to put the brisket straight to the cooler after the smoker; you'll over cook it and it'll fall apart. You want to leave it in out doors for about an hour to lower temperature, then rest it in the cooler for a minimum of 2 hours. 5 hours - 12 hours is preferred depending on the size.
@@tabcobra i leave it outside for an hour more or less depending on the temperature outside. Then I put it in my cooler to rest it and keep it warm throughout hours. It doesn't have to be 12 hours; it just depends on the size and how long you really want it to rest really. (Minimum of 2 hours, or 5-12 hours; depending when you want to serve). Because if it's placed in the cooler right after taking it off the smoker, the heat in the brisket being inside the cooler will continue cooking: thus, it will overcook and possibly become dry or mushy. I'm no expert, but I've seen mamy experienced pit masters like Aaron Franklin, Guga, Mad BBQ scientist, How to BBQ right, etc, leaving the brisket outside then into the cooler.
I noticed Oak is a smoother/milder smoke flavor to allow the flavors of the brisket (itself) and the choice of seasoning to come through more. I've smoked a lot using heavier wood in the past, and discovered Oak is definitely the winner when it comes to all my guests' choices. Oak is better when you really want to show off your seasoning blend - not an overpowering wood flavor. Nice video guys! I'm a Traeger fan!
I’m currently a Region Operations Manager for Hobart food equipment. Can’t we get a proper Hobart meat saw in there to replace that Butcher Boy? We make them right down the road from you.
Thanks for the info. Recently got my first smoker, a Green Mountain recently. Used you method and your Black seasoning on my first brisket a couple days a go. It came out sooo tender and delicious. Let it rest for 8 hours, friends were very impressed.
Your butchering skills are second to none. By the way, I really like your seasonings. I tried the black on some fresh sausage. Excellent. I like them all.
I appreciate all that you two have included in each of the smokers and applicable techniques. I bought a Target and practiced on a couple Ribeyes before putting a 15lb brisket in tonight. I suspect tomorrows lunch is going to be an epic experience.
It's 2am and I ate a lot today. Got work at 6 so I don't know why I started a third Bearded Butchers video. Edit: forgot to mention that I decided to make burgers an hour ago because that's just what I do lol.
Been a carpenter for over 15 years and just looking at that bandsaw gives me shivers. With most of my tools you can lose a finger really quick... but with that beast you could find yourself missing an arm. Nice work and stay safe.
Love watching all the videos especially the deer breakdown videos. I also enjoy seeing that a lot of the videos have your children in them helping and watching like in the rafters in this video. FAITH, FOOD, AND FAMILY in that order I believe is what is the key to yalls success! Thank You!
Followed this step for step on my first brisket on my first smoker. Took the results to a party and was told it was the best they have ever had. Next day I did 3 filets following your steps on your filet video. They came out perfect! This weekend I will be trying ribs. Please keep making cooking videos. It's crazy how good everything turns out. Also love your seasoning and bbq sauce 👍
Great instructional videos. I’ve been binge watching them all. I’d like to know why the Big Green Egg breaks down the fat more than the Traeger pellet grill. Seems like you should have the same end results if cooked at the same temperature.
Thanks for the tips fellas. Looked like a ton of fun. Quick question, after raising the temp to 275 after wrapping, why at the time you pulled the brisket off the Traeger was the temp set to 225 again?
as a Texan, I can confirm. Watching him smother that brisket in seasoning hurt me. and the "you can't really over season something like this" was like twisting the knife
As a native and resident of Alabama I keep my brisket seasoning simple. 50/50 blend of fresh ground black pepper and kosher sea salt with a skim coat of olive oil so everything sticks. I leave on most all the fat, score it in a diamond pattern, then apply the oil and seasoning. If the brisket is USDA prime I will smoke it at 350°F for 2-3 hours before it gets bumped down to 200-225°F for the long haul. My stepmom from Texas says my brisket is very good and I know she wouldn't lie to me! I am glad that I finally cooked Briskets nd now understand
Well done gentlemen! Loved how informative this was! I'm definitely going to take what I've learned and apply it with my next smoke. Also, I'm getting that Egg Genius asap! This will be a game changer for me and my cooks.
Awesome guys, I've being BBQing for many many years , I'm from Brazil, Rio and that's what we do there but I learned so much about smoking with you guys, I owe a small Traeger and have achieved some great results with your tips, thanks so much.
I had a Camp Chef pellet smoker for awhile. I think I used it 10 times. I much prefer the Weber Smokey Mountain and the food I can produce with it. A friend of mine has a Traeger and he puts out some great food with it, but I just prefer the taste I get from charcoal and real wood. Brisket, pork shoulder, ribs (beef or pork) and even chicken. Just delish.
When I do mine on the tragger I set mine to 195 till I hit temp to wrap then ramp to 250 once wrapped you will get a smoke ring like that of a stick bunner
Love DAD'S bike kid, so glad you told that tidbit of your dad's story! Keep "Egging" or "i-grilling" or whatever you kids call it these days... (I can't keep up) We just called it grilling or smoking...but without the technophone technology.
I don't even know where to start I love you guys!!!! I've been watching all your videos and spot on.. I live in Minnesota and on a road trip it would be worthwhile take a trip to see you guys!!!
I can appreciate what a Traeger is, how they run and how its almost just set and forget, but I just can't bring myself to own 1. Matter of principle to me. Lol. I love my barrel smoker, side smoker, and my Louisiana Egg too much. Yeah, you gotta maintain more but I just feel like I earned my brisket more for some reason. Guess its because you gotta do some work with wood/char smokers. No hate towards Traeger, just electric is a nope for me.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!! I have heard so much info that is out there and have been so confused. I finally started looking at THE pros and I came across your video and you really gave me hope to try again as you seem to know what to do with a pellet grill. I am still a beginner as I have not advanced beyond terrible shoe leather! I learned that choosing select briskets in the past from Walmart were all horrible and ended up like shoe leather using a masterbuilt electric smoker. I finally got a traeger smoker for my birthday and I have ordered brisket from snake river farms to begin to prep as soon as it arrives today! I have had such anxiety to try again due to messing up 5 select briskets. (that was a waste of a lot of money, time, and discouragement that followed) So this is my maiden voyage with my Traeger with brisket. My son told me that I should try to find a better grade of beef, so I ordered wagyu hoping that the combo of pellet grill plus quality of meat will end up a success! I came across your video at THE RIGHT TIME and it gave me SO MUCH HOPE to try again! I am going to repeat your techniques to prep my meat as it arrives today and I will load it on my Traeger hopefully tomorrow. I hope and pray that this finally works for me!! I wanted to thank you for using a Traeger to instruct, and how you adjusted your temps on the total cook. I am going to give it all I got. Question, since I don't have butcher paper can I use foil and a pan to seal it in? Question 2, When I pull the meat off when it is done, and since I don't have a cooler, could I wrap it in towels and rest it in a warm oven? Question 3, Does your butcher shop sell briskets and other fine quality meats online and ship in the USA? I live in a very isolated area in the mountains of SW Virginia and don't have any quality butcher shops here regionally. Any guidance and responses would be greatly appreciated!! I wanted to say Thank you so very much for all your time and efforts for us in cyberspace to teach on hand! May God continue to bless you!!!!
So cool seeing the side by side comparison like that, and that they essentially came out the same. Also, thanks for putting in the clip about the bike, I saw that in the background and had been wondering about it during the video. You guys rock!
@@markblix6880 Jack's BBQ in Nashville is awesome, I have eaten at all 3 and found Trinity lane location (the original) to be best, and have had almost everything on the menu. Their Brisket is among the best i've ever eaten and I have literally had BBQ from California to Texas over to Florida and thru the Carolina's up to NYC. Back to Kansas City and across to Seattle. I have also learned to cook my own with various pits, Gas grills, Webers, Masterbuilt smokers, and my favorite is my Traeger that my wife and kids bought me 2 years ago for Christmas! My most favorite place in Nashville was Judge Bean's BBQ that used to be on 12th Ave south but they have moved to Brentwood and I havent been down to visit since the move. I am sure they still have great BBQ so if you are close go give them a try! Since Judge Bean moved away jacksbarbque.com/ has become my go-to place to eat BBQ if i am not in the mood to cook for myself and the fam!
Videos like this always do that to me. These guys are pros. From dressing to butchering to cooking they are cool calm and collected. I’ve never watched butchering. They make it look so cool. It looks like fun work. Right?
It’s so informative as well as relaxing, I love to barbecue, I want two buckets of seasoning!!!!! I’m down with family faith and friends!!!!! Keep the faith fellas.
I use an offset smoker but would love to have a big green egg(donations accepted!) An electric smoker isnt the same. May as well put it in the oven and use liquid smoke lmao
Kamado grills are great! I have a Goldens Cast Iron cooker and I can highly recommend it. Kamado are great no matter the brand and will give you a level of versatility from cold smoking 150°F to 900°F Neapolitan pizza or steaks (If you go that hot skip the grill gloves and go straight to welding or utility linesman gloves....ask me how I know!)
Bradley smokers work very well for consistent smoking. I do smoked fish, and using an electric smoker is the most consistent way to achieve repeatability.
I love watching you guys, whether you're butchering or cooking. I'm here in the UK with my little charcoal BBQ, and I learn something from every single one of your videos, more power to you fellas :)
Gotta keep that knife sharp. I personally cannot stand a dull knife. Something about using a knife which isn't sharp is probably the most irritating thing ever to me. Good to have a honing steel around for sure.
Sounds crazee but we bought a Brisket one time and didn’t slow cook it. I was a kid. We actually used the brisket to fry like breakfast steaks. We’d just cut thin slices and eat em like that. We had a big family so we ate the whole thing in a matter of days. Made sandwiches. Breakfast steak. It was tough but my Mom made it taste so good. I know that’s weird. I’ve never seen that at any other time. It was actually good eating.
Great comparison, still don't know I guess I would like to have both the trager and the charcoal grill! Thanks for showing the cutting, prepping, seasonings, cooking, and tasting! God bless and stay safe, nice to have such a great memory from your Dad too.
Tis the season ! Got my smoker going a few times this season. Havent done a brisket yet tho. Thanks for this upload seth. Hope you guys have been keeping well with this covid still dragging on! Uggg. Great catching a new post.
It’s 6am in Upstate NY 50 degrees on the deck and just laid a beautiful Prime angus brisket smothered in BLACK! First time brisket on the traeger! Following the boys advise. Face down in smoke!
Me: pff who has 47 mins to watch them cook brisket?
Also me: *watches the whole video... likes.... subscribes... grows a beard... buys a smoker
You fell right into our trap. 👀
Other than the fact that I already have a beard and a smoker, my sentiments exactly!
you forgot to begin spending 3 hours daily in the weight room.

Edit: forgot to mention that I decided to make burgers an hour ago because that's just what I do lol.
Been a carpenter for over 15 years and just looking at that bandsaw gives me shivers. With most of my tools you can lose a finger really quick... but with that beast you could find yourself missing an arm.
Nice work and stay safe.
the best foodie channel ever in youtube history
Love watching all the videos especially the deer breakdown videos. I also enjoy seeing that a lot of the videos have your children in them helping and watching like in the rafters in this video. FAITH, FOOD, AND FAMILY in that order I believe is what is the key to yalls success! Thank You!
I literally bought a smoker after watching this entire 47 minute video.
That's awesome!
Same here.
Followed this step for step on my first brisket on my first smoker. Took the results to a party and was told it was the best they have ever had.
Next day I did 3 filets following your steps on your filet video.
They came out perfect!
This weekend I will be trying ribs.
Please keep making cooking videos. It's crazy how good everything turns out.
Also love your seasoning and bbq sauce 👍
Thanks, G! Glad to be of service!
Great instructional videos. I’ve been binge watching them all. I’d like to know why the Big Green Egg breaks down the fat more than the Traeger pellet grill. Seems like you should have the same end results if cooked at the same temperature.
Im assuming it’s how the heat is applied to the meat
Charcoal the heat is probably much more direct
Loved the Brisket tutorial.. Im a traeger guy, don't trim mine as much, gets a better giggle and tenderness with a little more fat..
Omg that fat looks so soft and fresh on those fresh butchered briskets. Wish the Costco packers were this fresh.
Great, Great Video!! I dont think ive ever seen a video that explains the different trims for different grills.
Thanks for the tips fellas. Looked like a ton of fun. Quick question, after raising the temp to 275 after wrapping, why at the time you pulled the brisket off the Traeger was the temp set to 225 again?
thanks for talking about the bike! i was going to have to ask in the comments about it.
Texans off somewhere dying with the amount of seasoning going on those briskets haha
gotta sell this rub
as a Texan, I can confirm. Watching him smother that brisket in seasoning hurt me. and the "you can't really over season something like this" was like twisting the knife
and drowning it in sauce
As a native and resident of Alabama I keep my brisket seasoning simple. 50/50 blend of fresh ground black pepper and kosher sea salt with a skim coat of olive oil so everything sticks. I leave on most all the fat, score it in a diamond pattern, then apply the oil and seasoning. If the brisket is USDA prime I will smoke it at 350°F for 2-3 hours before it gets bumped down to 200-225°F for the long haul. My stepmom from Texas says my brisket is very good and I know she wouldn't lie to me! I am glad that I finally cooked Briskets nd now understand
Total respect to your Dad, Mine was a WW2 VET...... Honor and respect those, that have let us live, the lives we lead......
Awesome! Please thank him for his service for us!
Well done gentlemen! Loved how informative this was! I'm definitely going to take what I've learned and apply it with my next smoke. Also, I'm getting that Egg Genius asap! This will be a game changer for me and my cooks.
I need to get myself some brisket.. never had it before.
These guys use a knife like it's a third hand. Simply amazing to watch.
Yep! Once you've been at it for so long, it feels like you're working with something that's already a part of you! 😀
I can't believe that I actually watched a 47min long UA-cam video 🔥
I’m with you.
Was actually captivating the whole way through so it was worth it
Awesome guys, I've being BBQing for many many years , I'm from Brazil, Rio and that's what we do there but I learned so much about smoking with you guys, I owe a small Traeger and have achieved some great results with your tips, thanks so much.
Hey neighbor from Dayton, Ohio, looking forward to seeing y’all soon.
I had a Camp Chef pellet smoker for awhile. I think I used it 10 times. I much prefer the Weber Smokey Mountain and the food I can produce with it. A friend of mine has a Traeger and he puts out some great food with it, but I just prefer the taste I get from charcoal and real wood. Brisket, pork shoulder, ribs (beef or pork) and even chicken. Just delish.
When I do mine on the tragger I set mine to 195 till I hit temp to wrap then ramp to 250 once wrapped you will get a smoke ring like that of a stick bunner
i tried 225 on Traeger and it hits the 165 internal temperature about 3 hours after that. Maybe size matters too.
Love DAD'S bike kid, so glad you told that tidbit of your dad's story!
Keep "Egging" or "i-grilling" or whatever you kids call it these days... (I can't keep up)
We just called it grilling or smoking...but without the technophone technology.
I don't even know where to start I love you guys!!!! I've been watching all your videos and spot on.. I live in Minnesota and on a road trip it would be worthwhile take a trip to see you guys!!!
Chris, swing in anytime!
Congrats on 1M subscribers guys! Have been a massive fan since the early days!
So glad to have you onboard since Day 1!
I can appreciate what a Traeger is, how they run and how its almost just set and forget, but I just can't bring myself to own 1. Matter of principle to me. Lol. I love my barrel smoker, side smoker, and my Louisiana Egg too much. Yeah, you gotta maintain more but I just feel like I earned my brisket more for some reason. Guess its because you gotta do some work with wood/char smokers. No hate towards Traeger, just electric is a nope for me.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!! I have heard so much info that is out there and have been so confused. I finally started looking at THE pros and I came across your video and you really gave me hope to try again as you seem to know what to do with a pellet grill. I am still a beginner as I have not advanced beyond terrible shoe leather! I learned that choosing select briskets in the past from Walmart were all horrible and ended up like shoe leather using a masterbuilt electric smoker. I finally got a traeger smoker for my birthday and I have ordered brisket from snake river farms to begin to prep as soon as it arrives today! I have had such anxiety to try again due to messing up 5 select briskets. (that was a waste of a lot of money, time, and discouragement that followed) So this is my maiden voyage with my Traeger with brisket. My son told me that I should try to find a better grade of beef, so I ordered wagyu hoping that the combo of pellet grill plus quality of meat will end up a success! I came across your video at THE RIGHT TIME and it gave me SO MUCH HOPE to try again! I am going to repeat your techniques to prep my meat as it arrives today and I will load it on my Traeger hopefully tomorrow. I hope and pray that this finally works for me!! I wanted to thank you for using a Traeger to instruct, and how you adjusted your temps on the total cook. I am going to give it all I got. Question, since I don't have butcher paper can I use foil and a pan to seal it in? Question 2, When I pull the meat off when it is done, and since I don't have a cooler, could I wrap it in towels and rest it in a warm oven? Question 3, Does your butcher shop sell briskets and other fine quality meats online and ship in the USA? I live in a very isolated area in the mountains of SW Virginia and don't have any quality butcher shops here regionally. Any guidance and responses would be greatly appreciated!! I wanted to say Thank you so very much for all your time and efforts for us in cyberspace to teach on hand! May God continue to bless you!!!!
You're always welcome! 🙏
Omg my mouth won't stop watering, why are you doing this to me lol
because you smell
Looooooool. Same. Every video they make.
Thank you guys.!! We love you.!👍🏻👍🏻❤️
i just found new favorite channel! Holy damn guys its 6am and I am eating my breakfast sandwich and all I want is that brisket.
Thanks
OMG I’m salivating here as your slicing, looks absolutely delicious
So cool seeing the side by side comparison like that, and that they essentially came out the same. Also, thanks for putting in the clip about the bike, I saw that in the background and had been wondering about it during the video. You guys rock!
I need to get myself some brisket.. never had it before.
I remember my first bite into a brisket sandwich in Nashville. I hope yours is as good.
Same. I'm making my first one tomorrow 😉
@@markblix6880 Jack's BBQ in Nashville is awesome, I have eaten at all 3 and found Trinity lane location (the original) to be best, and have had almost everything on the menu. Their Brisket is among the best i've ever eaten and I have literally had BBQ from California to Texas over to Florida and thru the Carolina's up to NYC. Back to Kansas City and across to Seattle. I have also learned to cook my own with various pits, Gas grills, Webers, Masterbuilt smokers, and my favorite is my Traeger that my wife and kids bought me 2 years ago for Christmas! My most favorite place in Nashville was Judge Bean's BBQ that used to be on 12th Ave south but they have moved to Brentwood and I havent been down to visit since the move. I am sure they still have great BBQ so if you are close go give them a try! Since Judge Bean moved away jacksbarbque.com/ has become my go-to place to eat BBQ if i am not in the mood to cook for myself and the fam!
@Christian Tovar it came out amazing. I impressed myself.
Texas style is superior
Faith, family and food!!! God bless!!!! Thank you. Awesome video!
Thank you! You too!
10:00 in the morning and i am drooling all over my desk..... great video guys, thank you.
Videos like this always do that to me. These guys are pros. From dressing to butchering to cooking they are cool calm and collected. I’ve never watched butchering. They make it look so cool. It looks like fun work. Right?
It’s so informative as well as relaxing, I love to barbecue, I want two buckets of seasoning!!!!! I’m down with family faith and friends!!!!! Keep the faith fellas.
I use an offset smoker but would love to have a big green egg(donations accepted!) An electric smoker isnt the same. May as well put it in the oven and use liquid smoke lmao
Kamado grills are great! I have a Goldens Cast Iron cooker and I can highly recommend it. Kamado are great no matter the brand and will give you a level of versatility from cold smoking 150°F to 900°F Neapolitan pizza or steaks (If you go that hot skip the grill gloves and go straight to welding or utility linesman gloves....ask me how I know!)
Bradley smokers work very well for consistent smoking. I do smoked fish, and using an electric smoker is the most consistent way to achieve repeatability.
I love watching you guys, whether you're butchering or cooking. I'm here in the UK with my little charcoal BBQ, and I learn something from every single one of your videos, more power to you fellas :)
Bearded Butchers Knife through meat: 2:49
My knife through meat: 4:00
Gotta keep that knife sharp. I personally cannot stand a dull knife. Something about using a knife which isn't sharp is probably the most irritating thing ever to me. Good to have a honing steel around for sure.
Sounds crazee but we bought a Brisket one time and didn’t slow cook it. I was a kid. We actually used the brisket to fry like breakfast steaks. We’d just cut thin slices and eat em like that. We had a big family so we ate the whole thing in a matter of days. Made sandwiches. Breakfast steak. It was tough but my Mom made it taste so good. I know that’s weird. I’ve never seen that at any other time. It was actually good eating.
Great comparison, still don't know I guess I would like to have both the trager and the charcoal grill! Thanks for showing the cutting, prepping, seasonings, cooking, and tasting! God bless and stay safe, nice to have such a great memory from your Dad too.
Shows safe way to cut with knife. Proceeds to playfully flip it lol
You are welcome, you are very hard working family, you should be very proud of yourself. You are blessed.
Tis the season ! Got my smoker going a few times this season. Havent done a brisket yet tho.
Thanks for this upload seth.
Hope you guys have been keeping well with this covid still dragging on! Uggg.
Great catching a new post.
Cheers!
It’s 6am in Upstate NY 50 degrees on the deck and just laid a beautiful Prime angus brisket smothered in BLACK! First time brisket on the traeger! Following the boys advise. Face down in smoke!
