Generally I don’t comment, in fact I’ve never commented on a bbq video before, I’ve seen a lot of brisket videos, this hands down by far is the best. How you explained the cook, it’s just perfect. Much appreciated.
@@TheDawgfathasBBQ agree you rock man! I ordered the grill accessories as well from your affiliate link to show my support. The summer will be great to bbq brisket Dawgfatha style.
Everyone should hire you for the voice of instructional videos! No yelling, jumping around, and acting crazy, just nice and calm. Perfect! Looking forward to trying this method out when winter lets go a bit here in Alaska. Thanks for the video!
We have smoked meat numerous times on our Weber Kettle, but this was the very first time doing a Brisket. From your how-to for trimming, to all of the steps in between, our Brisket with your guidance, was the best we ever had! Your instructions were spot on, and were very easy to follow. Thank You so much for creating a new Family tradition in our house!
I’ve been wanting to get into smoking meats but only have a Weber grill and can’t afford a big smoker right now. I had no idea that I could start practicing my technique now with the grill I already have! Awesome video :)
You’re the man! First time smoking a brisket in a Weber Kettle and watched this video multiple times (along with the trimming video) to prepare for New Years. It came out great and blew everyone’s mind and now the family wants me to smoke one every year.
I’ve watched many many Weber kettle videos and have tried just about everything. But yours are my favorite not only for the knowledge but because of how nice and humble you are. This world needs more people like you. Liked and subscribed. Thank you.
Man, I cooked a 10lb (trimmed) brisket in my 22" Weber kettle this weekend. I don't have a SnS and I decided to try the snake method since I hadn't before. It turned out great! You've definitely inspired me to keep smoking on the Weber until I can justify a barrel smoker.
Thanks! Just came across your videos today, and man am I thankful! I've been smoking for about 10 years now, but I'm always looking for fresh ideas and techniques. I really enjoy your approach. Keep them coming!
Anyone can make a video on eating great brisket. Thank you for showing us how. I have watched nearly 100 videos on this subject and cannot believe how much new knowledge I gained from this video. You Sir are a great teacher. Thank you!,
I never thought I could smoke meat on a Weber until I found your channel. I've noticed how much attention to detail you show in these cooks. I've watched these videos over and over this past month. Thank you man. Right now I'm on a 22" kettle using the snake method, until I get more confident before buying a SnS. Also, started using B&B Competition Oak and finally bought a decent thermometer. Please keep doing kettle cooks man, thank you! Love from Detroit.
Man. You explain so well. I’ll be honest I have done ribs and pulled pork but never had the guts to try out a brisket. The way you explain things is so clear, you gave me the confidence to try one out. Thanks so much! **(new sub!)**
I love it, I've tried on the Weber kettle and failed but after seeing this I know I can do it. I always do well with the smoky mountain but this looks beautiful. Well done mate and thanks for the great information. Very well explained.
I just found your channel, and so far one of my favorite things is the absolute lack of "self-righteous BBQ". I love how you encourage people to figure out what they like and season/cook to that standard, not what other people tell them it should be.
Amen. Hell I can't tell you what YOU like. lol As I always say, there are a million ways to make good bbq. You just have to find one that works for you. Bbq is all about bringing people together so more of us should act accordingly instead of beating our chests like we did something so great. At the end of the day we cooked some meat. And??? There are people out here saving lives. Smh... But, have fun with your cooks always. Lol
The Dawgfatha's BBQ Well, I finally broke down and bought a brisket today, so you are definitely doing something right. I usually stick to butts, ribs, etc, but the brisket is going on this Sunday morning. You did that. 😎
Did my first ever 10lb brisket here in the UK in an offset custom made smoker Friday morning. Took 11 hours and a lot of patience! (stall was an experience) Videos from guys like you helped so much and the final product was amazing! Keep up the good work!
i started bbqing 2 years ago and you were the first person i watched. crazy to thinking how much growth i have now. Thanks for helping me be part of my bbq journey! Its a lifestyle!
I know this video is old, but thank you for being so detailed (and honest...you even show the not-so-perfect parts). Other videos worry too much about making it look easy, they skip some important details and commentary. You're seriously improving people's lives lol.
I'm making my first brisket today! I have watched many videos the last couple days. So so glad I came across yours you explain it the best! Can't wait for the finale product we have. Thanks!
This video is giving me the confidence to go out try this for myself! Haven't grilled in the better part of 5 years and haven't ever smoked before. Thanks for making a great video that doesn't rush and thoroughly explains everything!
@@drottle weber kettle is a really good option to start. Fairly affordable and really teaches you. It's what I did and I'm proud to say I've been given many compliments on everything I've smoked on it.
This is great. I've been looking at the Weber Kettle Grill and wondering how to effectively use it as a smoker. Your video is straightforward and makes it look pretty easy. Thanks for taking the time to put this together!
Dang It. How have I missed this for so long!!!!!!. Looks awesome Alton. Picked up a 1/8 beef today and grabbed a extra little 6lb brisket for a Snack!✌✌👍👍👍✌🍻🍻
Man I wish I would have seen a video like this when I made my first brisket on Christmas last year. I was just getting into indirect cooking and such. It actually ended up coming out pretty good. I just used the Tip Top temp to regulate the temperature a bit...now I use a DigiQ DX3. The brisket didn’t need any trimming and even the flat was not crazy dry. I just followed all the basic temperature guidance I had found on the ThermoWorks blog...but there is so much more to getting a better result like you describe in the video. Puddling, propping up the brisket, spritzing, etc. All things I didn’t do, nevertheless it was far from a fail. Everyone loved the brisket for Christmas evening dinner. Love your videos. I’m planning on making a brisket for the 4th of July. Have a good one from South Texas.
I like the way you explain things. You're not playing a character or anything, just doing some good bbq. Love the weber grill. I just got my first premium about a week ago, and am convinced there isn't anything you couldn't do with it. Subscribed! Thanks for the good content.
I did my first brisket ever at Christmas following your other brisket video and using the snake method. (I didn’t have any baskets yet.) It came out AMAZING! I just got a Slow-n-Sear and I’m so excited to try it again using this method! Thank you for such great instruction! 🍖
Your drip pan is my combination water pan / drip pan. And this video has been the BEST one this old man has watched regarding doing brisket on a charcoal grill. Excellent job. #Respect from Canada
You are the best teacher! I trimmed and smoked my first brisket on the Weber kettle with the snake method last year after watching your videos. Just bought another brisket and am going to smoke it for the 4th. Thank you for your videos!!!
I studied Aaron Franklin’s UA-cam videos before I smoked my first brisket on my Weber kettle last year. I selected a well marbled brisket with a nice thick flat at Costco and trimmed it to about 1/4 inch of cap fat. Seasoning was salt & pepper, the Central Texas standard. Snake method with Kingsford charcoal briquets and a few hickory chunks for flavor provided smoke and heat at 240 - 250 degrees until the brisket reached 165 internal, about five hours. I then wrapped the brisket in foil and finished it at 250 degrees until the internal temperature hit 209, another 4 1/2 hours. Rested it for an hour before slicing. It was meat heaven. The point burnt ends were magnificent. Nothing fancy...just low and slow technique. Kudos to Aaron Franklin for pioneering the technique.
@@DankMangus Yeah, Aaron Franklin, and a lot of other pit masters, go by the feel of the brisket rather than temperature. I have since adjusted my finished temperature to 205. Same temps for pork shoulder (butt) too. I even use the same seasoning with a little paprika added, gives a hint of sweetness. Keep it simple. Now I’m getting hungry.
Hey Dawgtatha, just found your channel while searching for Weber brisket, very good video, nice work. You have a great camera presence and are a good teacher. Well done, keep it up!! To combat pooling, just sit the brisket over a chunk of wood to create a concaved shape and the juices will just run down and not pool.
Hey dude . Kevin from Mia florida. Just wanted to let you know that your videos have helped me tremendously. I am new to bbq world and I just did my first pork butt with the help from watching your videos.. thank you watching your videos gave me confidence that I could do it and they have taught so much . Much love from the 305 .Mia.
Hey man, I came across one is your videos by accident and now I have watched like 6 videos lol!! You are very informative, your explanations are great as well!! I can’t wait to watch more and I would like more videos of you cooking on the Weber Kettle as well, I have that and a smaller Traeger.
i made my first brisket on an imitation weber kettle. used the snake method. there were no slow and sear when i made mine. took 14 hours at 250 degrees it was worth all the work. keep the great videos coming.
Been looking up brisket videos on the Weber kettle because my wife requested a brisket for her bday. Really like the way you didn't worry about temps too much and just cooked and it turned out great. Looks fun can't wait for her bday so I can cook one.
Following your orders right now and the brisket is looking mighty fine! This is my first ever attempt on the Weber. Thanks for you expert step by step instructions.
You're extremely well-spoken, clear and concise. This is not only an excellent "how-to" breakdown with great details, it's a well-done production all around. Kudos to you bro! (new subscriber)
I just got a Weber kettle and I’m so excited I can smoke brisket in it. Thank you for showing me how! My brother in law is always using his traeger grill and smoking things and I’m kinda jealous…here’s to new adventures! Thanks again!
Your very calm & collective. I had to sell my bigger off set smoker a couple years ago & have been missing it ever since. Recently bought a Weber small top just to get back to charcoal taste again. Had no idea you could successfully smoke a brisket on one. Thanks to video I'm excited to try. Thanks for taking the time to teach on how to!
Sir, you have a gentle gift of gab. You’re awesome at explaining everything in this video. Also, thanks to you I’m going to buy a Webber Kettle now and some of that suckle busters! Stay awesome!
I like your style man. I like the way you cook. So many guys get too, caught up in temperature and fire management and they forget to focus on the most important thing, and that is cooking the meat. I really like the way you cook by concentrating on what the meat looks like and how it feels rather than focusing too much on maintaining a constant temperature. It’s almost like some of these guys doin videos want to show you how good they can maintain a temperature. You focus on cooking the meat and I like that. Good video.
35$ for prime brisket? There's a warrant out for u cause thats a steal. Where did u get that metal cart for your weber? Awesome video. My collection is a ys640 and weber performer with a sns. Love your LSG buddy.
Yeah I was looking at that $2.79/lb price too! I just paid $3.49/lb for whole brisket… and that is half the price per pound as grocery stores for just the flats. BTW-I bought 3 briskets and gave one to my son and his family.
Thank you SO MUCH for your incredibly detailed videos! I'm doing my first brisket on Sunday, about 15.5 pounds. I know you're inclined toward going by feel, rather than temperature. But, as a starting point, what temp should I be shooting for in the pit to start out? Also, do you have the bottom vents on the weber open, or closed? Thanks again, wish me luck! God Bless! Addendum: I DID IT! Followed all your tips, and the end result is delicious! Beautiful bark, super tender and moist! My BF can't stop raving about it, and I'm looking forward to the next cook! Thank you, Sir!
Very informative video out of all the videos I have watched this is by far the best on. You actually showed us how to work the grill and the meat. And not just throw the meat on the grill and show us the finished product well done thank you.
I learn something from every one of his videos! He gave the best, easiest to understand explanation of the "thermo stall" in this one - its the meat trying to cool itself down by sweating and shedding moisture. I've always wrapped my pork shoulders at that point, but I now understand the physics behind why! This weekend I'll get after my first brisket with some confidence thanks to you!
I'm gonna try my second brisket ive ever done today on my Weber. First one i did, I was learning how to use my Masterbuilt smoker and I did this huge brisket and I cooked/smoked it to a medium rare like a steak. It was so tough and disgusting. lol. I didn't know anything yet on doing brisket. I really enjoyed your video. Thanks
Thanks for making it look easy but showing what the pitfalls look like too. Giving the example of what moisture collecting on the flat looks like, those examples really help to know what to look for. Great video, love the content and the channel!
@@TheDawgfathasBBQ yeah it catches alot of air around the lid when close its a cheap brand i smoke a pork shoulder yesterday i had to stay on top of it a round the clock but it came out about 90% I've been looking at your other video's im getting ready to subscribe
So many videos out there on smoking a brisket. This is one of the best. Covers all the basics in efficient and enjoyable fashion. I've been smoking brisket Texas style on a whole range of top end smokers, but want to now scale back to the basics, so selling my Humphrey's Battle Box and returning full circle to my first grill of 40 years ago, the Weber kettle. This video will be my reference source. Well done, man.
EASY sub. Easiest sub I've dropped in a while. This is by a LONG shot the most clearly and calmly explained video I've seen on this method. Planning to do this tomorrow.
HEY MY BROTHER I WISH I COULD SEND YOU SOME PHOTOS MY FIRST BRISKET ON MY NEW PIT CAME OUT THE BOMB THANK'S FOR YOUR ADVISE I DID WELL BUT IT WAS DONE IN 12 HOURS I USED PECAN WOOD THE FLAVOR WAS GREAT THE BARD WAS GOOD BUT ON ONE EDGE IT WAS A LIL WELL DONE LOL. HOW CAN I SEND YOU SOME PHOTO? SO YOU CAN TELL ME HOW IT LOOKS. THANK VINCENZO
Really enjoyed the common sense approach to cooking! Very good information without all the technical BS that everyone else throws in there. If you're a Texas boy like I am, I would really enjoy meetin up someday ,having a cold one and pickin you brain for some more good tips!
Just ordered my first Weber, picking it up from Home Depot tomorrow. This is the first video I saw after searching, and I already know this is my new favorite UA-cam channel! You sir have a new sub! Keep up the good work!
This might be one of the best bbq videos I’ve ever seen. Not only did you explain what you were doing, you also explained why. Very informative! I’m gonna try this method in my kettle!
Hey Dawg, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You have opened up a whole new world with the weber for me! Not just burgers and dogs anymore! I have used your pork butt tutorial and today I did a 27 lbs brisket under your instruction and both were home runs!!!! I am super happy and I have you to thank!! Btw, thanks for not getting so picky about temps and settings, it gave me permission to relax and enjoy the cook! Blessings my friend!
Been torn between getting a WSM or a kettle. Videos like this just show me that the kettle is so versatile and can do ALMOST everything the WSM can. That brisket looked amazing mate, I think this video sealed my decision for a kettle
Hey Dawg, sorry for the late reply but this is the first real, actual video I've seen on someone who really knows how to cook a brisket on a small weber! I dont have the charcoal attachment with the water trough but will get one, ASAP! I'm to a point where I want to cook a real full-size brisket in less than 10-12 hours and I'm using my weber much more often. Thanks for a great video!
Hi Dawgfatha - you are the man. Followed this video exactly with a 14LB brisket and turned out amazing. You simplified it perfectly, no need to stress about exact temps of the pit. Rub was on point, bark was set and the tenderness amazing - took about 9.5hours. Thanks my bro!
Nice!!! Believe it or not, the kettle may be the one grill I'd have to have if it was all I could afford. That grill is so versatile and fun to cook on. It blows people away when I tell them that I smoke all kinds of meat on that thing a lot with the line up of cookers I have. So how'd your brisket turn out?
@@TheDawgfathasBBQ It was probably the 4th or 5th one I have ever done. And it went waaaaay longer than I had planned. But the wait was so worth it. It was so tender and tasty. I just used SPG on it.
This is the best video I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. This guy is awesome. You did it on believable simple explanation of step-by-step how to smoke brisket. You kept it very relevant much appreciate your time I’m gonna try one this weekend

Everyone should hire you for the voice of instructional videos! No yelling, jumping around, and acting crazy, just nice and calm. Perfect! Looking forward to trying this method out when winter lets go a bit here in Alaska. Thanks for the video!
Wow, thanks!
Just now found this Channel. Great Channel, great video. I subscribed to your channel and give it a definite thumbs up.
Yes Sir, I am extremely impressed with your presentation! FANTASTIC
The only thing to dislike about this video is that I can't reach into my screen and grab a chunk. Great job. Love your videos.
One of the best comments I’ve seen on YT in a long time. Way to positive troll!
The phonographic comments the best its stuck in my head.
Ha,ha, me too.

You’re the man! First time smoking a brisket in a Weber Kettle and watched this video multiple times (along with the trimming video) to prepare for New Years. It came out great and blew everyone’s mind and now the family wants me to smoke one every year.

The Dawgfatha's BBQ Well, I finally broke down and bought a brisket today, so you are definitely doing something right. I usually stick to butts, ribs, etc, but the brisket is going on this Sunday morning. You did that. 😎
Did my first ever 10lb brisket here in the UK in an offset custom made smoker Friday morning. Took 11 hours and a lot of patience! (stall was an experience)
Videos from guys like you helped so much and the final product was amazing! Keep up the good work!

Sir, you have a gentle gift of gab. You’re awesome at explaining everything in this video. Also, thanks to you I’m going to buy a Webber Kettle now and some of that suckle busters! Stay awesome!
We really appreciate the step-by-step instructions you provide. We always learn so much from your videos. This brisket looks amazing!
Thank you guys! So glad to have KQ in my corner for real! Love what you guys do and your energy.
I like your style man. I like the way you cook. So many guys get too, caught up in temperature and fire management and they forget to focus on the most important thing, and that is cooking the meat. I really like the way you cook by concentrating on what the meat looks like and how it feels rather than focusing too much on maintaining a constant temperature. It’s almost like some of these guys doin videos want to show you how good they can maintain a temperature. You focus on cooking the meat and I like that. Good video.
Thanks Rusty!
35$ for prime brisket? There's a warrant out for u cause thats a steal. Where did u get that metal cart for your weber? Awesome video. My collection is a ys640 and weber performer with a sns. Love your LSG buddy.
Shhhhhhh... lol So the cart I actually ordered on Etsy from a guy that was making them. I don't believe he is making them anymore.
Yeah I was looking at that $2.79/lb price too! I just paid $3.49/lb for whole brisket… and that is half the price per pound as grocery stores for just the flats. BTW-I bought 3 briskets and gave one to my son and his family.
My daughter and I were just talking about making a brisket last night. We're both big fans of the Webber kettle so thank you for the great video!
Awesome! I'd love to hear how it goes.
Thank you SO MUCH for your incredibly detailed videos! I'm doing my first brisket on Sunday, about 15.5 pounds. I know you're inclined toward going by feel, rather than temperature. But, as a starting point, what temp should I be shooting for in the pit to start out? Also, do you have the bottom vents on the weber open, or closed? Thanks again, wish me luck! God Bless! Addendum: I DID IT! Followed all your tips, and the end result is delicious! Beautiful bark, super tender and moist! My BF can't stop raving about it, and I'm looking forward to the next cook! Thank you, Sir!
Late reply but 225 degrees is a good average. brisket is done when the inside is 205-210 at the thickest part
Cooked a brisket on my Weber last Friday. Turned out good!! Thanks for the video
Dude... a kettle brisket with the SnS is just what I was looking for!
Very informative video out of all the videos I have watched this is by far the best on. You actually showed us how to work the grill and the meat. And not just throw the meat on the grill and show us the finished product well done thank you.
I too am a big advocate of the butcher paper wrap. I still hold my heat down but just make sure I have enough beer to get me to the end.

I learn something from every one of his videos! He gave the best, easiest to understand explanation of the "thermo stall" in this one - its the meat trying to cool itself down by sweating and shedding moisture. I've always wrapped my pork shoulders at that point, but I now understand the physics behind why! This weekend I'll get after my first brisket with some confidence thanks to you!
I'm gonna try my second brisket ive ever done today on my Weber. First one i did, I was learning how to use my Masterbuilt smoker and I did this huge brisket and I cooked/smoked it to a medium rare like a steak. It was so tough and disgusting. lol. I didn't know anything yet on doing brisket. I really enjoyed your video. Thanks
FYI. Im not an expert on brisket. It was very tender but tasted like roast beef
Thanks for making it look easy but showing what the pitfalls look like too. Giving the example of what moisture collecting on the flat looks like, those examples really help to know what to look for. Great video, love the content and the channel!
I want to try this but u can't control my heat on my char broil smoker even with vents closed
Man that's no good. Not really familiar with that grill either.
@@TheDawgfathasBBQ yeah it catches alot of air around the lid when close its a cheap brand i smoke a pork shoulder yesterday i had to stay on top of it a round the clock but it came out about 90% I've been looking at your other video's im getting ready to subscribe
So many videos out there on smoking a brisket. This is one of the best. Covers all the basics in efficient and enjoyable fashion. I've been smoking brisket Texas style on a whole range of top end smokers, but want to now scale back to the basics, so selling my Humphrey's Battle Box and returning full circle to my first grill of 40 years ago, the Weber kettle. This video will be my reference source. Well done, man.
How many times did that SPG make you sneeze or cough lol it gets me everytime!
I'm sure I have no clue what you are speaking of... lol
SPG, thats the rub that you used on the brisket.........
@@_Anthony___ sarcasm mate
EASY sub. Easiest sub I've dropped in a while. This is by a LONG shot the most clearly and calmly explained video I've seen on this method. Planning to do this tomorrow.
Ladies and Gentleman. School is now in session!!!!!
Thanks bro!!!
Really nice video with great step by step instructions. One of the best I’ve seen, if not the best!!!
Thanks bro, I really appreciate that. I'll be doing a new tutorial soon.
HEY MY BROTHER I WISH I COULD SEND YOU SOME PHOTOS MY FIRST BRISKET ON MY NEW PIT CAME OUT THE BOMB THANK'S FOR YOUR ADVISE I DID WELL BUT IT WAS DONE IN 12 HOURS I USED PECAN WOOD THE FLAVOR WAS GREAT THE BARD WAS GOOD BUT ON ONE EDGE IT WAS A LIL WELL DONE LOL. HOW CAN I SEND YOU SOME PHOTO? SO YOU CAN TELL ME HOW IT LOOKS. THANK VINCENZO
Hit me up on IG, FB or email. Thedawgfathasbbq@gmail.com
This is probably the best and most helpful video of watched regarding brisket on a Weber kettle! Very well explained and to the point.
So, are we just going to pretend we did not see that fly on his head? 😂😂😂
Uhhh what fly??? 😅😅😅
Lol
That thing was like ‘Cook the food man I’m hungry!’
That fly left a brown dot and
I cant see a brown dot at all
Ha ha ha i agree that fly knows a chef when they smell one
Really enjoyed the common sense approach to cooking! Very good information without all the technical BS that everyone else throws in there. If you're a Texas boy like I am, I would really enjoy meetin up someday ,having a cold one and pickin you brain for some more good tips!
You truly have a knack for explaining things in a plain & forward manner.
Thank you!
I try to make it as simple as possible for sure.
Just ordered my first Weber, picking it up from Home Depot tomorrow. This is the first video I saw after searching, and I already know this is my new favorite UA-cam channel! You sir have a new sub! Keep up the good work!
Awesome!!!
This might be one of the best bbq videos I’ve ever seen. Not only did you explain what you were doing, you also explained why. Very informative! I’m gonna try this method in my kettle!
I appreciate that!
Awesome video. Sorry if I missed it but how did you set your bottom damper? Full open?
Hey Dawg, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You have opened up a whole new world with the weber for me!
Not just burgers and dogs anymore!
I have used your pork butt tutorial and today I did a 27 lbs brisket under your instruction and both were home runs!!!!
I am super happy and I have you to thank!!
Btw, thanks for not getting so picky about temps and settings, it gave me permission to relax and enjoy the cook!
Blessings my friend!
I cant be the only one that loves when he says "webber kettle"
i have watched alot of videos, i think you have done the best to explain things. never realized what i was really supposed to do at the stall!
The Weber kettle is just so versatile. Glad I came across your channel my man. Looking forward to smoking my first brisket.
Great video! I love cooking on the weber kettle and I'm always learning little ins and outs with it as I did watching this video.
I have a barrel grill, but most of the principles still applied. My brisket turned out great! Thanks for the detailed instructions!!!
I’m trying this tomorrow for my first brisket cook! No slow n sear so I’ll be using a water pan. Fingers crossed! Love your videos!
Been torn between getting a WSM or a kettle. Videos like this just show me that the kettle is so versatile and can do ALMOST everything the WSM can. That brisket looked amazing mate, I think this video sealed my decision for a kettle
I don't think you will be disappointed at all .
@@TheDawgfathasBBQ looking at the local stores to see if they have them in stock right now
Advice was excellent. Many good pro tips as well. I cooked my first brisket on my kettle with confidence and it turned out great.
Thank you so much I just made a brisket on my webber kettle just like you taught us and it turned out perfectly blessings to you
Hey Dawg, sorry for the late reply but this is the first real, actual video I've seen on someone who really knows how to cook a brisket on a small weber! I dont have the charcoal attachment with the water trough but will get one, ASAP! I'm to a point where I want to cook a real full-size brisket in less than 10-12 hours and I'm using my weber much more often. Thanks for a great video!
A excellent brisket cook. You should be a teacher because you explain everything so well.
Hi Dawgfatha - you are the man. Followed this video exactly with a 14LB brisket and turned out amazing. You simplified it perfectly, no need to stress about exact temps of the pit. Rub was on point, bark was set and the tenderness amazing - took about 9.5hours. Thanks my bro!
Glad to hear it brother!
I smoked a brisket over this past weekend in my Weber kettle. I wouldn't have attempted it before I watched this video. Thanks Dawgfatha!!!
Nice!!! Believe it or not, the kettle may be the one grill I'd have to have if it was all I could afford. That grill is so versatile and fun to cook on. It blows people away when I tell them that I smoke all kinds of meat on that thing a lot with the line up of cookers I have. So how'd your brisket turn out?
@@TheDawgfathasBBQ It was probably the 4th or 5th one I have ever done. And it went waaaaay longer than I had planned. But the wait was so worth it. It was so tender and tasty. I just used SPG on it.
Excellent tutorial. Really breaks down the 'why' on what you are doing here. Can't wait to try this out!
I love that Alton does not sweat keeping the pit temp exactly perfect! I learned a lot from this video.
I’ve made 3 briskets using this video step by step and every single time it’s come out amazing !!
Love that handle on your lid vent. Im def going to do that myself.
This is the best video I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. This guy is awesome. You did it on believable simple explanation of step-by-step how to smoke brisket. You kept it very relevant much appreciate your time I’m gonna try one this weekend
I try to keep it super simple and to the point. Thank you.....
