Smoking Brisket: Attempt Number 2

So I'm doing another brisket as my first was a little dry. I learned it was primarily from only being 4lbs so pretty small to what they smoke in restaurants.

This one is over 6lbs and also has more fat marbled in the meat which helps keep it tender as well throughout the smoking process.

I am also smoking some kielbasa.

This brisket turned much better than the first. The size and fat marbling really made a difference.

Is the display on the smoker having problems?  At around 3:30-3;40 or so, it appears to be flickering or failing.

Nope. That is just how it looks when viewed through a video camera. Similar to how a computer screen looks when filmed by a camera.

try smokin ur brisket in a large foil pan in charcoal grill indirect heat ,fat side up for about 1hr for ever lb ul never have a problem with dryness, you wont even be able to slice it becuase it so soft and tender.

I use an el cheapo Brinkmann Electric Smoker with the water pan. I always top my briskets with bacon, presuming I'm not smoking pork ribs on the top layer above it. I'll be smoking Saturday and will film it.

Cool. Definitely let me know when you post the video. Thanks!

try not to take as much fat off the cap it will render alot more then you think and you can remove it after cooking if you choose to

@marthanyc . Yes. The smoker would be pointless without them.

@BillDavidShow When are you going to post your Brnkmann rendition?

Just wanted to say thanks for posting these vids ,there going to be very helpful as I just bought a masterbuilt smoker the kind with the glass see through door . Watching that meat smoke through the glass door should be more fun then watching tv. ha ha

My girlfriend's adult kids are in town and I ended up playing beer pong with them. I WILL, however, make a post smoking video. Ha ha ha. I am WAY too old to be playing beer pong!
