Brisket

The brisket primal is sourced from the lower chest area, specifically the pectoral muscles of beef cattle. Known to be more tough due to the heavy use of the muscles, when cooked properly, it is extremely flavorful. Briskets are comprised of two main sections: the "point" (superficial pectoral muscle) and the "flat" (deep pectoral muscle). The "deckle" is the hard fat and intercostal meat on the inside surface of the brisket; however, some refer to the point as a deckle.

FAQ

Everything you need to know before your first bite.

Find answers to our customers' most commonly asked questions.

What temp is brisket done?

Determining when your brisket is done is a bit of art and science. The brisket temperature is a good guide, but the feel of the brisket is the final factor to decide when it is ready to come off the grill. Just as we wrapped on color, we are looking for the perfect time to “pull on feel.” The temperature range for this can vary but is approximately 198°F to 206°F. Learn how to smoke a brisket perfectly.

When to wrap a brisket

While an instant-read thermometer is key to any cook, we are also looking for the perfect color and follow the “wrap on color” technique. As soon as the exterior bark is deep rich mahogany (dark reddish/brown) color and the internal temperature starts to climb out of the stall, it’s time to wrap. Learn how to smoke a brisket perfectly here.

How to smoke a brisket

Heat smoker to 300°F. Place brisket in smoker, fat side down, and cook for 2 to 2.5 hours, misting with spray bottle of water, beef broth or apple juice, every 30 minutes. This adds moisture to the brisket and helps form the perfect bark.

Use aluminum foil or uncoated butcher paper to wrap your brisket. Paper is porous and allows some steam to escape but traps most of the rendered fat and juices. Remember we are looking for the perfect color and are following the “wrap on color” technique. As soon as the exterior bark is deep rich mahogany (dark reddish/brown) color, it’s time to wrap. Use two lengths of paper about 2½ feet long. Overlap them, place the brisket in the center and wrap all sides to make a neat package.

Place the wrapped brisket back on to the grill. After 2 hours, begin to check the brisket for doneness. Remember temperature is a good guide, but the feel of the brisket is the final factor to decide when it is ready to come off the grill. Just as we wrapped on color, we are looking for the perfect time to “pull on feel.” The temperature range for this can vary but is approximately 205°F to 210°F.

What is the difference between USDA Choice and Prime beef?

The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) separates domestic beef into eight grades, based on intramuscular fat or marbling, and other qualities like tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. The two highest grades are Choice and Prime, respectively.

Awesome Brisket! Trimmed it up

"Awesome Brisket! Trimmed it up and didn't lose too much in the process. Rubbed it and let it rest and then fired it up in the smoker overnight at 225 degrees, low and slow. Tremendous taste and texture. I will definitely buy Snake River Briskets again!!"

— Matthew L. (5/5)

Best brisket and the size

"Best brisket and the size is usually 17-20 lbs. consider 3-4 lbs of fat trim and after all cooking is done you will have around 9-12 lbs of clean juicy brisket"

Fantastic brisket with only ~2-3

"Fantastic brisket with only ~2-3 lbs of fat on a 17lb packer. Meat was tender and juicy and definitely confirmed that the quality of meat makes or breaks how it tastes when smoking for ~10 hours."

— Jeff P. (5/5)

That was one tasty brisket

"That was one tasty brisket only had a enough left for brisket nacho 👍👍"

— James P. (5/5)

For what I thought was

"For what I thought was going to be a fresh 'Prime' brisket arrived frozen (ok, so it has to ship that way) with the label from another farm on it. What started out as 17 lbs. went on the smoker at 9 lbs. after trimming the overly heavy fat cap and with the huge band of rock hard deckle fat running through the middle of the brisket. It ended up tasting good, but for $150+ I could have gotten just as good and almost twice the amount elsewhere. Lastly, the $25 coupon I signed up for was not available for my purchase, I expected to apply it to my order. I will take that as a loss as well because I do not intend to reorder from Snake River anytime soon."
