Smoked Brisket on The Big Green Egg Part 2 of 3

Trying to give back to the BBQ community, I have created a series of 3 videos showing the smoking of a full packer cut brisket. This video is part 2 of 3 in the series and starts with lighting you BGE and ends with the brisket being removed.

damn wildlife makes this video impossible to watch. you live in a damn swamp????

Dang Alutacon, it's just a few million crickets!  LOL! I live in Georgia and that's what night sounds like here. The screaming you here are my neighbor's obnoxious children in their pool. They can't swim and play without constant screaming!

Cowboy brand lump did very well for me for quite a while Kingfish, but I long ago switched to Royal Oak and have been using that ever since.  You have a good eye for lump!

Thanks for video! Do I need a placesetter for smoking my brisket in BGE?

[caryssilverman]

Yes James. You absolutely need to cook your brisket indirect. A BGE placesetter is the best thing to use.

Hey cwarring. I am in north Georgia, about 30 minutes north of Atlanta. I am not sure if you are referring to the crickets and frogs or my neighbor's annoying screaming children. LOL

Sorry Richard. I don't have any recommendations. I've been using a Big Green Egg for a long time. Try Craig's List though. You can probably pick up a pretty good smoker there for a good price. I use lump charcoal with smoking woods when I smoke in the Egg. When I grill, I use just lump charcoal, which is made directly from hardwood.

Hey cary, Im thinking about getting myself a smoker. Was looking at the green egg. I am now seeing that you use charcoal instead of wood with that grill. Can you give me the name of a good relatively cheap wood smoker?

[Alutacon]

cool, i watched the other parts. brisket looked good. i have a brisket video up also. check it out. search "alutacon brisket"

You need to use a better lump coal. Try royal-oak coal. Made by same company as green egg coal. It's essentially the same thing but alot cheaper.

Cooked my first brisket yesterday. We had to cut brisket down to fit it in my medium BGE, and i didn't want to ruin entire brisket on my first try. Only smoked it 6 hours. Then rested it ~2 hours. No placesetter, good salt and pepper rub. My BGE fluctuated between 225-275. I check temp at 6 hours and it was 195 so I took it off before it dried out. May try to inject it before smoking next weekend? It did have a nice smoke ring, and was tasty, but I'm going for juicier and barkier.
