Selecting the Brisket for A Barbeque

Video Transcript

On behalf f of Expert Village, I'm Terry and today I'm going to give you tips on smoking a beef brisket. When you go to your supermarket or your local meat market, you're not going to find it too lean. You're going to have fat on one side and meat on the other. Brisket will usually run you anywhere from a $1.29 a pound up to $3 a pound. $3 a pound is really, in my book, expensive. It should be somewhere from a dollar and a half per pound area. When you have your brisket and you see all this fat don't worry about it. You don't want to trim none of that off until the meat is done because you will slice the brisket. The brisket is one of the toughest cuts of meat, and that's why you smoke anywhere from 9-12 hours. When you smoke it, you'll smoke it with the fat side up so that all those juices go down through the meat. It keeps your meat moist. This is half of the brisket. I cut the other half off. This was about an 8-pound brisket. My smoker is relatively small, so I can fit it both on there. It doesn't hurt anything. On the front tip of your brisket, it'll be about twice as large as the end tip. It's the same texture of meat and it'll take about the amount of time as it will to cook the lower tip.
