How do you prep your brisket?

[Bowtechlady]

I do not brine. I leave some fat on but trim any excess off. Last time, I used the "final table" recipe for the rub from here and prepped the night before and put in the refrigerator over night.

I did not follow the final tables method and instead still followed my dad's method.



It came out great though and was still a big hit with the family

^looks very tasty^

Funny coming from you. Are you afraid somebody is gonna take your title you've tried to obtain the past 5-7 years?..

Nah. No title needed. I just like good food, travel all over the state and sample the BBQ and Tex Mex offerings. I can just be the judge.

My bbq/tex mex fusion kinda sucks. I am wasting my time today.

From reading TBH bbq threads lately one would think this Smart character was god of all things bbq.

I use a binder on my briskets to hold the rub. My binder is simple. Some Lea & Perrins mixed with a bit of Crown Royal.

Comes out dang good....

I trim off the excess fat. Put a generous amount of rub ( don't know the brand, I get it from the butcher shop.) then wrap it in plastic wrap. Put in fridge over night then remove plastic wrap and on to the smoker. Simple and comes out great.

if thats the way he does a brisket,

Im okay with calling him that

I agree with the folks who've said you need a lot of salt and black pepper in the rub. Salt and black pepper do fine by themselves. But I've also used a Santa Maria-style rub, which is salt, black pepper, and garlic, and gotten good results. (That rub is especially good on tritip.) I've also used Cavendar's Greek Seasoning with great results. http://www.greekseasoning.com/ Cavendars is very versatile; I've used it on pork, beef, and chicken.

I used equal parts brown sugar, salt, paprika, pepper, and chile powder.

This. Keep it simple

Use Worcestershire for binder. I typically use the Rudy's rub. No brine, sugar, basting, or injecting in the prep.

Just trim excess fat and any hard fat that won't render anyway. Cover with Worcestershire then cover with rub. Cover with AL foil and put in refrig overnight. Next day pull out and let get to room temp. Usually pull out first then start getting fire ready. Once fire is ready I put on pit. Most of the time I cook for 1hr/lb before checking meat temp but if for some reason I was not watching the temp closely, I will check after 45min/lb and adjust from there.

Franklin, The Mullers or the Schmitty/Kruez family don't put no dang mustard on their brisket. LOL.

That's some ol yuppie stuff.

Then again I use a completely alternative, off the wall method. LOL.

So you aren't going to answer the OP's question about how you prepare your brisket? Is it some dark secret? What the heck?

In all the posts you have ever made implying that you are the king of all things BBQ, Salsa, and Mexican food I don't believe I've ever seen you post a recipe, method, or any suggestions to people asking for guidance and ideas. You just brag about how good yours is and put down other people's methods. Why not try to be a good citizen, for once, and quit acting like you know it all and then aren't willing to share your vast knowledge, like you would be harmed somehow if someone used your methods!!! Why the cloak and dagger? What are you trying to prove?

Smart was willing to share his method with the OP, as did others. Would it kill you to humble yourself? After all, you have a lot to be humble about.

For the record, I also do not use mustard on my briskets, but I don't think a light slather would hurt to hold the rub. I usually use Worchestershire, then rub with whatever commercial rub I have, smoke at 220ish for 12 hours or so...usually turns out fine, but I'm sure not anywhere near as excellent as the secretive BoB method!

[Burntorange Bowhunter]

Shut up old man. There are a select few of y'all that blew what you say way out of porportion. I haven't done anything that no one else has done. On one thread I said that Central Texas had all the best BBQ in the state and it ballooned into some sort of Smart and a few others making a running joke out of BBQ Bob or some other crap. I go along with it and laugh.

I have given tons of advice and sent plenty of people recipes via PM. Get over it.

In reality on this thread I was merely poking back at Jason for all the grief he gives me and you had to get your panties in a wad and make something more of it.

Because there are no threads on TBH where people never answer the OP. Pft. Come on man. In reality if I had.....the BoB haters, such as yourself would have cried and got all butthurt. So you think that way is the right way? Waaaaaaaaaaaah.

[Burnadell]

So why not ever post up your secret method(s)?

[Burntorange Bowhunter]

Because I want to be the one to defeat Franklin with my own place some day?

That could be it but I don't remember ever saying I was great. Just shared some thoughts and have mentioned perfecting the worlds greatest cuisine....bbq/tex mex fusion. I see no problem with that. Apparantly you and Jason do. I see just as many or more Smart haters on here so it's really no big deal. I take it all in good fun.

I.

For the record and I'll step back out, it was WAY more than one thread...

All in good fun...

Don't include me in this little tiff
