    Hi Steve.
    First of all,
    I was looking for a "BBQ Sensai" all over YT (and beyond). And finally landed here. I really like your Videos even if i dont understand everything sometimes cause
    english is not my mother tongue^^.

    I have a really basic, maybe even stupid question for you^^.
    In one Video you reheat a Brisket wich was pretty nice to know that this could work out well.
    But.
    What do you do with all that meat? I dont think that i could get enough people at one Table to eat a hole Brisket in just one day. (At least not without giving a expensive party or at Christmas^^)
    Do you think you can reheat, lets say, half a Brisket after freezing it without killing it for good?
    How many people do you have to gather to eat a hole Brisket without haveing to throw some in the trash. (wich i just wouldn't have the heart for)

    How and for how long can you preserve half a Brisket?

    further more i start with making Porkbelly to learn how to effectivly run my smoker befor killing a expensive Brisket 🙂 i think it would be too much, asking you for a video^^ but maybe you can give me a tip how to get a crispy pork rind after smoking it?

    Thx for all the advice in your Videos.
    Take care and stay healty,

    greetings from the Ostsee, Germany.

    A couple of observations; I've been acquainted with a number of lawyers, most of them did not have a soul to lose. Good to see you seem to be one of the exceptions. The other observation; while the position of "Brisket Jesus" is currently filled, you could be Michael the Arch Angel of briskets.

    Dude, if I'm cooking a brisket for just me or my family, I NEVER wrap them, just spray…. best bark EVER. If I'm making for other people, then yeah I'll wrap.

    Nice – I like this method… the flat would be juicier with a tallow injection. Herry Soo is having success injecting at 100-degrees. I've thought about separating the point from the flat to remove excess fat and to get more bark.

    Great looking brisket! Any thoughts on injecting the brisket before cooking it unwrapped?

    BTW, the Amazon link to a BBQ injector in the description appears to be broken.

    Got a few questions:
    – How many Briskets do you eat in a month?
    – In the States, how much does it cost the whole Brisket and seasoning roughly?
    – Why didn't you show off your Dad Crocs this time?
    – From what state are you?

    Thank you 😀

    Some people don’t have anything better to do than to go around hitting dislike on random videos. It’s like they can’t wait to be the first thumbs down. Don’t let them discourage you from creating content like this. Good information and entertaining.

    Try this method, I inject my brisket and beef ribs with the tallow, anything that oozes out I use as my binder and rub it in before I place my rub, I cook to 165, then my foil boat method is this, I create my boat covering the bottom and sides of my brisket, leaving the top exposed, once back in the smoker I spritz or baste the top every half hour til it reaches
    205, try it, trust me you’ll never do another brisket any other way, it has never failed me and explodes with moisture when you cut it, I never buy anything other than choice grade, been doing it for years, cheers from Australia
