I'm going to show you how to smoke a brisket, but not just any brisket.... An Australian Wagyu brisket!

In this "how to smoke a brisket" video, i'll be covering off the brisket preparation, how to trim a brisket, cooking times and temperatures, how to slice a brisket and much more!

Even if you don't have a Wagyu brisket, the same rules apply, so you can follow along to this video for pretty much whatever large brisket you have!
Or if you are a beginner wanting to smoke brisket for the first time, this is a great video to follow along to also!

Here's some of my main tips:

- Trim it in an even and aerodynamic way, that way it will cook more even
- Buy the best quality brisket you can afford, the more intramuscular fat/marbling, generally the better result
- You can wrap, boat or leave your brisket unwrapped, it's all about personal preference so give a few methods a shot and find what works for you
- Use internal temperature as a guide and focus on probe tenderness, every brisket is going to be slightly different

If you have any questions about how to smoke a brisket, don't hesitate to ask them in the comments below!

Basically for this brisket i've trimmed it, seasoned it, set my smoker up to run at around 250F/120c, got my brisket on the smoker with some cherry wood and a tray underneath, smoked it until I was happy with the colour, boated it until I was happy with probe tenderness around 205F/96c internal and then I let the brisket rest before slicing and serving it!
Boating is just one of many methods to smoking a brisket, it's all comes down to personal preference. You can boat, wrap in foil, wrap in butchers paper, leave unwrapped for the whole cook, it's really up to you! I suggest playing around with a few brisket smoking methods and find what works for you!
