Ingredients
-
1 Creekstone Farms Whole Packer Prime Brisket
-
1 cup beef tallow, divided
-
1 tbsp Cattleman’s Grill Butcher House Brine
-
Cattleman’s Grill Trail Dust AP Seasoning
Directions
- Trim the fat cap and remove completely from the point. Leave 1/4” fat cap on the flat. Trim any large chunks of hard fat from the surface of the brisket.
- Combine 3/4 cup beef tallow and one tablespoon Cattleman’s Grill Butcher House Brine in a small jar and shake well. Inject the seasoned tallow into the flat.
- Rub excess tallow on the surface of the brisket. Season generously with Cattleman’s Grill Trail Dust AP Seasoning.
- Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill to 225°F.
- Place the brisket on the second shelf and smoke until dark bark is formed on the surface and the internal temperature reaches roughly 165°F, about 12 hours.
- Spread the remaining 1/4 cup beef tallow over butcher paper, roughly in the shape of the brisket. Place the brisket on the paper. Wrap tightly.
- Lay out one large sheet of foil. Fold the foil over to double. Place the butcher paper wrapped brisket on the foil and form a foil boat around the bottom of the brisket, leaving the top of the butcher paper exposed.
- Return to the smoker and cook until the brisket is probe tender and roughly 205°F.
- Place the brisket in a cooler or hot box and rest 2 hours before slicing.

@ Dan, The brisket was 13lbs. Enjoy!
Hoe many lbs was that brisket?
Having watched a number of your brisket videos, including the trial of bare versus paper wrap versus foil boat, and having cooked many briskets on my own, I wonder: What about doing the wrap—and boat, which will make things a little less messy—then when at temp for tenderness and juiciness, remove and rest for your recommended couple of hours, then return to the oven at high temperature bare for, say, ten to fifteen minutes? All same same like reverse searing a beef rib roast. The bark should firm up, but the brisket, being cooler, won’t have time to cook to mush or to dry out. I THINK this works, but I haven’t had the time and resources to try it multiple time.
FWIW. YMMV.
I love Brisket and I want to learn more about smoking meat 🥩
