    Wagyu Brisket

    For the record: Franklin's finished briskets go into a 140-160 degree food warmer and are held there for 8 + hrs until being served. . He has stated he believes that the extended period in the warmer "really relaxes/loosens them up."

    Wagyu Brisket

    Yeah, heat the cooler up then put the finished wrapped brisket in it and cover/pack the cooler with bath towels. You'll be surprised how long the brisket will stay hot. You can also put a layer of foil over the wrapped brisket in the cooler to keep the bath towels clean.

    Wagyu Brisket

    You know?  that's a great price you got on the Wagyu brisket !  Most I have seen are $250 for a 15 lb brisket and if you can get them continually at that price you're golden! Your plan sounds good to me and should turn out great. I do the Costco primes and have never done a Wagyu brisket and...

    Costco Prime Brisket Franklin Style(Kinda) w-Q View

    I lay out 2 pieces of butcher paper side by side and over lapped to get the width I need. Then fold in the sides then wrap/flip one complete time around the brisket with the end of the paper on the bottom so the weight of the brisket holds it down and together. It stays wrapped pretty tight that...

    Please help - my brisket is a total disaster

    Welcome to the site! It sounds to me that you didn't cook it long enough by only letting it get to 195 IT.   Did you probe it with a wooden skewer at 195?  Brisket will be done when the skewer goes in like butter with little to no resistance. I also do Costco primes, and mine usually don't...

    Cooking brisket 3 days in advance?

    \Just cook it ahead of time. Slice then vac seal portions of slices tightly packed together and freeze. Reheat bags of brisket slices in pot of boiling water. I do this all the time and they are just as good re- heated as if they just came off the smoker.

    Roast guidelines

    250 is a good temp for your smoker.  Last ones I did (2- 6 lb ers)   I pulled them at 142 and rested for about a half hr in a cooler covered with a bath towel . When I sliced, They were pretty rare for us. So I  put each slice under the oven broiler for just a few quick minuets to darken them to...

    Second Brisket Attempt on Masterbuilt Propane - Tips

    I don't know how big your last packer was but 22 hrs. seams like a long smoke.  I have a similar smoker(propane) that I've done many briskets in. 1)  Fat cap up or down your choice. ( in my propane unit I normally put fat cap down to shield from heat.In my offset I put fat cap up) 2) Just...

    Video of my mods on my OKJ

    Nice job on the mods!   I'm thinking of welding a new/ larger exhaust pipe on my Okla Joe and lowering it to grate level. I think the Joe needs more draft and air flow to burn better. Could you tell me what size pipe(ID) is on your Old country pit?  Thanks!
