Got brisket stress? Here are the reasons why

Posted by By

Brisket cooking is a journey: a delicious, meaty, anxiety-filled journey that can have even the most seasoned pitmaster staring at the smoker, wondering, “What have I done? ” If you’ve found yourself pacing around an expensive cut of meat muttering about temperatures and cook times, congratulations-you’re normal. If you have brisket stress, you are not alone.

If I were to watch a video of myself on brisket cook day, it would be of me looking at the temperature 80 times, doing timing math in my head, talking to whoever will listen about stalls and when to wrap it in paper. You get the idea. You have a lot of time to overthink. You have a lot of time to watch YouTube videos on what you are supposed to do.

Don’t let the brisket get in your head. Keep it chill. It’s just food. Let’s break down the parts of cooking brisket that tend to make me stress out, mess up, or flat-out panic.

You want to argue? Let me introduce you to my wife and kids.

Yes, the Big Green Egg once again dazzled and won the hearts of dinner fans again this weekend. I went to the grocery store thinking nachos and I left with a pack of chicken wings. Crazy how the meat aisle and a mild day in March can get you to change your mind.

The outcome was simple. Season some wings, throw them in the smoker for a few hours and let the magic happen.

I don’t want to make it sounds like I’m Myron Mixon, but I make some of the tastiest wings going. Every time I serve them at a get together of friends, the talk of the party is not Canadian Politics, the weather or even what’s up with work, it is all about the spicy and savoury chicken.
