Recently took the plunge and got myself an offset smoker. Got a relatively cheap select brisket to cook this weekend, came out pretty good! It was a little over 15 lbs before trimming, made some ground beef and tallow with the trim.

Bro…it’s fucking beautiful.
The shape, the bark, the zero waste, the boat, the cook…what the fuck man. Blocking you so my wife doesn’t see this, I can’t afford anymore boyfriends PLUS the rising cost of wood pellets.
Nice work on trim and cook. Looks great.
Thanks I’m on my way to Costco now
Looks outstanding
Maybe a bit too much rub? but look delicious
My lanta
My god those cutting skills
Haven’t been here long, but that is the most aesthetically perfect trim I’ve ever seen.
Looks fantastic
Briskets always scare me bc when they’re “done”, they look burnt AF on the outside.
Excellent from start to finish!
Great job
Bombdiggity! Would love to see the offset
Just wow. Amazing trim and bark. Well done!
That is a thing of beauty! What kind of offset did you get?
That looks insanely juicy for a select cut…hats off to you!
I’ll politely have a slice please and thank you.
Love the trim. Love the bark.
I grind my lean trim for burger meat so I’m not afraid of making it look pretty. The lean trim still eats really well in burgers, tacos, empanadas.
And I don’t waste the fat trim either. But why did you grind it? Do you think it renders faster for tallow??
This is the way!
And BTW… he/she did not say it was their first brisket just the first on their new offset smoker so it looks like they have had some trim before.
Competition level trimming!
What’s that address? Looks great!!!
The progression from a pellet to an offset. What do you think? What differences did you notice between the finished product?
🔥🔥🔥
Mad knife skills. It looks great!
Looks amazing
Just…wow!!! This is what I strive for, that looks incredible. 👌
Smoking/trimming goals. 😍
Can someone explain the “foil boat” method to me? I understand wrapping in butcher paper to bring it up to finish temp…but the foil boat just leaves the top open so what does it do differently from just leaving it ok the smoker naked? Seems like it would just catch juices.
Thanks in advance for explanations! Cheers!
P.S. That brisket looks damn perfect! Now I’m super hungry!
Well tell us how you did it?!
Humor a neophyte a question: why trim it at all? Is it purely for aesthetics? how would the eating experience be affected if it was cooked untrimmed?
Looks tasty
