Nothing fancy here, and no offense to Travis as I love his method too. I just you tubed a while back on how to cook a brisket on the egg, and I came across this guys video. It seemed simple, and I tried it almost exactly how he did it, and have had great results. Sorry, no pics, but brisket is always tender, and never dry. These are whole packer briskets that he uses in the video. I always trim quite a bit of fat off like this guy does, and use the Worcestershire sauce before applying the rub. Only thing I have done different is the rub. I have been using the Dizzy Pig Red Eye express(coffee rub), and man that tastes good on briskets. Anyways, I wondered if this egghead is on this forum, and if so, thanks for sharing the great video. I will link it to share with others to try as well.

    It looks darn good!  Do you make burnt ends?  I have had my egg 3 years and I am a brisket virgin. :\">

    I'm still a little torn as to whether I want to make burnt ends out of the point when I finally make one. After watching the Aaron Franklin vids he just cuts it up and serves it with the rest of the flat.  For a while it seemed every brisket cook included separating the point and making burnt ends; but lately most cooks I see just slice and serve.  



    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    I have always just sliced and served, when I do a brisket there is usually a crowd waiting so no time to do the burnt ends, someday I will though.

    +1 with the slice and serve crowd. After watching this video though I think I will try the burnt  ends next time.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    Sorry for the bad link... But thanks to whoever linked it. I did burnt ends the first two times I did this, and they turned out pretty good, but they had a little too much smoke for me after doing that. So, over Fathers day weekend, I just sliced/cubed it after resting in foil in cooler for two hours. I liked that much better, so unless I can figure out how to do burnt ends better, I will do as the others and slice and serve.

    I hear ya there Hap. He talks a lot in this video which prolonged it. It really only takes me maybe 5-10 minutes max to trim it. I know many who don't trim them at all, so to each their own.

    It would be really funny if, after every removed section of video, his fingers had yet another band-aid.  "notice my hand placement...if the knife slips, my hand will stop the blade from accidentally removing a section of meat..."

    Is it just me or is that scary to watch? That is a "how not to trim a brisket" safety video in the making (although he does trim it properly in my book- just scarily so)

    Don't think the knife was sharp enough to do much damage. Thought he could have used a drip pan too.

    No, it is scary.  Also, when I trim I don't use a giant katana - I use a filet knife.  I guess that's personal preference, but I feel like I have more control with a smaller knife.

    I stopped watching after the trim. Tell me how it ended so I can comment intelligently.........never mind.

    That's what I use. I find that the best knife for taking silverskin off tenderloins and clump fat off everything else. Dogs like it better when I use a chef's knife though.

    No. I trim with a filet knife, I filet with a giant katana. Stay sharp things move fast around here.

    Like that's possible. He got tired of futzing around with the knife and put it on a thickness planer.

    I'm just messing with Steven.  You're post is perfectly fine.  Much better, actually, than the "What's wrong with you people" thread.... :)

    Im just messing around too. I know there is more than one way to skin a cat, especially when it comes to BBQ. I do wonder if the guy in this video is a member here though. His feelings might be hurt if so...
