For those who are wondering, the reason for showing the juices coming out of the wrap was to point out that this original butcher paper must have been replaced before service because all of the aqueous liquid is gone by the time they serve the brisket. Also, there is too much rendered fat in the new butcher paper to have just come from rewrapping in butcher paper alone. A resting brisket just won’t leak that much fat. Another purpose in rewrapping is that when you remove the excess water, the bark is less likely to get “washed away” and you preserve its integrity over the long rest time.

One of Aaron Franklin’s pit masters shows the brisket method and it clearly shows tallow along with apple cider vinegar spritz in the butcher paper. Look up “Texicana BBQ how to smoke a perfect Texas style brisket every time” and watch closely at the 15 minute 23 second mark. There is a generous spritz of vinegar and huge blobs of tallow under the brisket. He then mentions the tallow right after this. I’d say that’s pretty clear confirmation this is what they’re doing. (The guy’s name is Max, who can be seen in Harry Soo’s video of his tour of the pits at Franklin’s.)

Instead of the $30/lb Wagyu melted tallow you used, I tried using the $1.30/lb block of generic lard from HEB. I did not melt it, instead I just scooped of a couple of large spoonfuls and applied them to each side of the brisket as I was wrapping. I figured the meat would melt the tallow and it did. By the time I finished cooking the butcher paper was soaked and the briskets(I cooked two) looked like jiggly jello molds. Resulting flavor was outstanding. Thanks for the tip. It's now my go forward method. Cooked on a $300 kamodo.

Coleman Party Stackers work great. I heat them up with hot water 45-30 mins ahead of expected to pull off the smoker. Dump the water and put in the meat, this cambro method keeps the meat from losing a lot of heat to heat up the cooler. I have held things for several hours this way. I like the coleman because the inside volume is small compared to a big old yeti etc. again, less heat sucked out of the meat.

It would be like thinking a cherry on top of a cake is what makes it great. It's nice to have a good cherry, and it'll make it better, but it's not going to make a bad cake much better, and a bad cherry won't make a good cake much worse.

The very day I picked up the pro offset you posted a vid "The cheapest offset you can buy." I was excited to see we had very similar challenges. Just this weekend I finally decided to take on the brisket challenge, and to add to the stress, it's my first beef cook, and I was catering a birthday.

Master Class has Aaron Franklin teaching on Smoking - Brisket has like 5 videos. Its an amazing teaching on the major, and finer points of the how's and whys. I think you should watch them, and see if it lines up with you hypothesis. Rendered fat is key... Resting is critical. I saw you using a lot of butcher paper to wrap with. I personally think that might impact the outcome. How you trim, how you prepare, truly impact the amount of 'liquid' that will be inside the paper when you are done. -- Great video. I appreciate your passion, as I too have a thirst for knowledge and the pursuit of perfection. No matter what Aaron does, I think you found a method that is a big win for your viewers. Well done.

You are waaay off base with this tallow nonsense. The secret is in the timeline... Franklin puts his brisket on the pits each day around 10am.. Then starts pulling them at around midnight, (12 hrs.+/-) He lets them rest for a few hours at room temp until the IT come down around 170 degrees..say around 2am(2 hrs). Once rested,his briskets are then put into 170 degree food warmer boxes still wrapped and stay there at 170 until service at 11 am. (aprox. 9-10 hrs).. The 170 degree food warmers acts as basically a steamer that continue to render down the fat and the deckle and completely saturates the butcher paper making it look like limp plastic.(I believe each of his warmers holds 30-35 briskets) It also acts as what I call the "equalizer" meaning, as we all know each piece of meat finishes differently time wise. And this extended time in the warmer makes his 100 + briskets uniform in consistency . You will also notice Franklin only uses enough butcher paper for one complete wrap around brisket starting with fat cap up and flips one time while wrapping with end of paper on bottom and fat cap back to top.. Katz Deli in NY uses basically the same process( huge food warmer boxes) for their corned beefs and pastrami's . They are stacked in the warmer boxes at temp like cord wood until needed for service. Some other famous BBQ places hold finished briskets in warmers for 24 hrs. As a back yard BBQ guy(and big Franklin Fan) I use this same method on my briskets but I use a 22 quart Hamilton Beach(turkey) roaster oven as the food warmer. It works really good for single brisket and even better with two or three at a time.I keep them in the roaster @170 ish for a minimum of 10 hours. Try it, It will make a believer out of you !!

I’ve been cooking briskets over the last few years and decided to try this method for the first time today. I made my own tallow from the brisket trimmings. The brisket was noticeably moister throughout with no compromise to the bark quality. The tallow has a strong aroma when cooking which was somewhat present on the brisket, but was neutral in flavor. There are a few things I want to tweak, but I think the improved results are worth the effort. Thanks for the video.

Awesome video. I've actually started doing this after seeing another KZitem channel do a cook and he was basting his briskets with beef tallow then when he went to wrap he added the tallo and the end result was absolutely incredible. The video was in a different language so it was hard to pick up what they were saying but you could clearly see the method worked great

David Berman After seeing this video, I went and ordered Wagyu Beef Tallow. This past weekend smoked 4 slabs of short ribs, each with 4 bones each 5lbs in weight. Went low and slow at 225 degrees and was a little colder here in NY, so ended up wrapping them in aluminum foil when they got to 190 degrees instead of butcher paper due to time constraints. In two of the slabs I placed Wagyu Beef Tallow (in those two I also used a different BBQ sauce). In the other two slabs, I put in about 1/2 cup of beef broth (and no bbq sauce). Both slabs with the Wagyu Beef Tallow were noticeably more moist/juicy than the other two slabs, which were also very moist and juicy. The Wagyu Beef Tallow also seemed to add a "shine" to the meat. One slab survived dinner Saturday (put it away for dinner Sunday). It was one that did not have the Wagyu Beef Tallow finishing. In any event, warmed it up by sealing it in zip lock bag and bringing it to 145 degrees in boiling water. When we opened the zip lock, wow, amazing aroma. And they were as juicy and moist as the slabs we served the day prior. Funny story, my wife was trying to be nice as she always is (married 40 years), and was going to warm up the slab in the oven. Thank God I saw her and was able to intercept and redirect. Want to lastly thank you. You are an amazing source of information and the way you get it across is perfect. Hugs to all, David/

After watching this, i kind of took my cook up 1 more notch over the beef tallow. I took my trimmed up fat ,put it in a shallow pan and SMOKED it along with the brisket. Then once the trimmed fat rendered, I put it directly on the brisket AND the butcher paper. Over the top? Maybe ,but my customers sure noticed the difference and so did I. Amazing brisket. Thanks for the video.

Great video! It's been established that searing doesn't seal meat from moisture loss, but maybe coating it in fat does. In addition, coating the paper with beef fat means the paper is less likely to soak up any fat or moisture on the outside of the beef. It all makes perfect sense. Now I want to try this technique on steaks... :) Thanks!

Instead of wrapping in paper or aluminum when it hits 165f we take a roasting pan big enough for the brisket and put about 1/2” of room temp beef stock in the pan and put fat up, cover the pan tightly in aluminum and back on till 195f . Remove from heat and pan , keep the stock for a sauce. Wrap brisket tightly in aluminum and toss into an empty cooler for atleast 4hrs . Finger bending fall apart

The beef tallow and resting longer is kind of the classic Jewish brisket method, sans the low and slow smoking. A Jewish brisket is roasted and when done, left in it's rendered juice and after it cool, goes in the fridge over night, then reheated in it's juice on low temp until dinner time.
