How To Smoke A Brisket: A Master Tutorial

Well sir...I have to say, that this was possibly the best, most enjoyable, most educational, and most entertaining, hour and forty minutes I have spent, in a long, long time! And like a number of others who follow you, I will be smoking a brisket for Independence Day. You got this video out at the PERFECT time. I have watched MANY barbecue videos over the years. Some of them better, and some worse, than others. But I have NEVER watched one as in depth, and thorough, as this one. I don't know you personally, but I feel like I have GOTTEN to know you SOME, by way of your videos. This vid is near, or AT, the top of the BBQ list. In my opinion, I believe that you were BORN to do this! I am a LOT older than you are, and probably older than most of your followers. And what I can say, is that you are what my generation called "a MAN'S MAN." Someone that OTHER men look up to, and admire. Someone who is no man's fool. A man that "represents" all of us, at our best. Call me a fanboy. Call this a bromance. Call it whatever you LIKE! What I call it, is one man, appreciating ANOTHER man, for doing what he most clearly LOVES doing. BBQ, is the (smoke) ring, that binds us. One day, I would like to be able to shake your hand, and thank you, in person...God willing. Thank you (and Mrs. Meat n' Greet,) for all of the time and effort!! Hard work DOES pay off. Happy American Independence Day!!

New to smoking. I've watched a million different videos from backyard guys to professionals. This by far is the best channel I've watched. Great job.

brotherman, I can speak with certainty that this video is on par if not better than the Aaron Franklin's Masterclass. I've been intimidated by briskets but have known I wanted to get into cooking them for a few years now. I'm proud to say watching the two videos on repeat really helped guide me through the process of my first cook. Your videos intuitively answer all of the questions people will encounter on their first cooks. Thank you so much for the quality content. You helped bring proper bbq to me in Canada. 🙏

Folks…this is gona be an actual brisket masterclass. Can I tell you that your fire management video took my bbq pop to the next level…you da man(that’s my Chicago accent coming through ✊🏽)

THANKS TO THE YOUTUBE ALGORITHM gods!!! About a week ago I started down a rabbit hole of 'how to' videos for smoking brisket and tonight the algorithm brought your video up for me and BY FAR!! this is the most thorough, detailed and engaging brisket video I've come across. The almost 2 hr video went by so quick with the way you presented everything. It was very detailed and nerdy but also still very fun and engaging, great work!! Thank you @Meat n' Greet!! I'm a rookie griller who is getting prepped to smoke his first brisket ever! I'm still a little nervous about it but with your video, I'm much more confident that it won't come out completely like 💩. Great video bro!! You got a new subscriber! 👍🏽

A Honest man showing you a honest cook. Out of all the Pitmaster I have watched over the years, I must admit Meat n' Greet is have took me to the next level of my cooking journey. A legend is born. I will always be grateful and thankful for this Masterclass.

Brother. You should be proud. Best brisket video on YouTube. Made a donation and hope many others do also. You spent ALOT of time. Appreciate you

Best bbq YouTuber I’ve seen!

I've been grilling over 50 years. Last year I drove 150 miles to buy a good conditioned, Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Offset. After making a few tweeks, I've been smoking meats several times a month (even in Pittsburgh winter-I have a gazebo). I have been following several of the YouTube Gurus but no one has taken the time to fill in all of the gaps. I've cooked 4 briskets to date with varying degree of success. I'm doing my 5th brisket for the 4th of July and with your guidance in hand, I expect the results to be spectacular. Thanks for the love!

So much time and effort into this video, we all appreciate this. Did you ever work at a bbq joint, you know your stuff boss. Your rib recipe is my fave.

We are now family. It took all day between cooking pork belly burnt ends for a buddy and delivering them. Now cooking another batch for our party along with ribs for supper. Oh ya, made brunch on the griddle, all the while watching this amazing video. If you have made brisket several times or just starting I guarantee you will pick up at least 5 amazing tips. Good work brother.

Found this video in the middle of my cook. This helps tremendously. Wish I saw this before I started to cook

Big Frizz, you out done yourself with this one! Hands down the best brisket video out there. I have only gotten better as a pit master after watching all your videos. You’re doing the lords work. Appreciate you, brother!

Probably the most comprehensive and detailed rooter-to-the-tooter instructional video on cooking brisket that I have seen yet, so bravo-zulu to you, sir. I have smoked many a brisket (and every other meat that can be smoked), but I still watch whatever I can to see if I can learn something new, whether a trick or a tip that I haven't heard before. I didn't really learn anything new from this one, but it was so comprehensive and detailed that I wanted to comment on it for anyone else just getting into the art. Well done!

Wow what video if you have any interest in smoking anything watch this video, Meat n Greet is the GOAT of all videos and education. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge

Bro!!! Of the hook!! Thank you so much for taking your time. Been following for a while!! I live in a small island , Puerto Rico, and I luv BBQ and low & slow smoking. My brisket game has amped up a lot. Grateful for your time once again

Big Frizz- youve done it again. Having cooked my fair share of briskets, one thing i know is there is ALWAYS something we can gain from other experiences. I personally dont like using a binder. Not opposed to it in anyway, i just dont know that ive ever felt it add something. However your Mustard and pickle juice binder got my brain GOIN! As always, your content is killer, and always entertaining. But most importantly i can feel your realism, personality, and passion come through in these very thoughtful productions. Thank you Mr and Mrs Meat n greet!

I just watched the video, and I appreciate your love for BBQ. I learned a lot from watching your video, and I want to thank you for the lesson. I have to say I'm going to be buying a warmer. It is the key to making a brisket go from good to great. I like how you cold-smoked in the beginning. It set your smoke ring, raising the temp as the cook rolled along, rendering the fat pushing the stall. Checking every 20 minutes is a game-changer. I've learned so much. It's the best hour and forty-minute video I've watched on YouTube. This video was awesome! Thanks again; my BBQ game will be on point thanks to your lesson.

Have been watching your videos the last little bit (including this one). This might be the most underrated bbq page on YouTube (and I've watched most of them) and it's just getting started. Thanks for the exceptional attention to detail, continuing to learn as always!

Alright sir!!! I began watching your videos a couple weeks ago with your fire management video. Man... was phenomenal for my fire management to be more efficient. Always looking to learn and improve my game and you have given me new insight. Love the passion and enthusiasm. You have been a game changer for me. Thank you for your work!!!
