3. RIGHT NOW! I have a brisket on the smoker Traeger, approx. 225* fat side up slathered in mustard olive oil and seasonings! plan on leaving him alone for 5-6 hours, should be in the stall. Guessing 170-180 degrees. 2. Planning on then slipping him into an oven bag with some seasoned up beef stock and letting him warm up to near 200* Last step will be just flash finish on a hot gas grill with flames! Trying to achieve the magic 202-203 degrees and have some au jus in the bag! Anybody do their brisket this way?

Current line-up of cookers: Oklahoma Joe's Bronco Pro, Masterbuilt Gravity Series 1050, Blackstone ProSeries 4 Burner 36" griddle, Weber Performer Deluxe and Weber Smokey Joe.
Never done this, but it could work. Is there some point where you're checking for probe tender? My guess is that there is more variability in briskets than ribs, and it might not lend itself to such a formulaic approach. But I have been wrong many times before.

Weber Q320 grill
Camp Chef Smoke Vault 24 Propane Smoker
Maverick and thermo Pen thermometers
that is certainly different. do you plan on poking that thermometer through the bag? i would imagine transferring from the bag to the grill would be a messy experience. your brisket might be falling apart at 200

* - Favorite Beer - the cold one in my hand (craft beers of all flavors; haven't had a blue yummy in over 6 years) my tastes change with the season so it is difficult to name just a couple. However, I will occasionally have a vanilla porter float in the summer (Empyrean Vanilla Porter w/a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream) as I usually drink stouts & porters in the colder months, pale ales & IPAs in the warmer months. I have to add Not Your Father's Root Beer to beers I use for floats.
* - Booze - I don't really have a favorite, but lean towards single malt Scotch & Irish whiskey
* - Wines - Reds: mainly the heavy stuff mixed in with the occasional pinot noir ( I have yet to meet a malbec I didn't like); Whites: German & Nebraska (hey, I have to support the home team)
* - Favorite Spice outlets - Volcanic Peppers - Bellevue, NE
* - Current butchers: Cure - Ft. Calhoun
The first thing that comes to mind with using a bag would be the loss of bark do to steaming the brisket to a finish, versus tightly wrapping it in foil or butcher paper. Let us know how it all turns out?

I try to avoid adding liquid to the foil the I wrap. In my experience, I get a much more Roast beefy taste when I do it that way. I find that I have plenty of moisture left without adding an broth, then I pour that au jus over the brisket when I am done slicing. It makes for some killer slices.
I would love to hear and see your results after you do this. It will be fun to see what you come up with!

Your comments make a lot of sense! Thinking the bag will be just folded over so a probe or thermometer can access the brisket. Agree on more juice diluting the brisket flavor! Will only incorporate a small amount of seasoned fluid. Then the big if's will it fall apart and or still have a nice bark??

You will shorten the stall with a tight wrap. Not sure about the oven bag, but you want a tight fit, or you will stall.
This is pretty much the process for pulled beef though.

I don't see why that can't work. Putting the brisket in an oven bag may result in more of a "pot roast"-like texture and taste, but it should still be good. To speed up the stall, definitely wrap it tight. If cooked right, you won't need the extra beef stock. It'll be nice and juicy on its own.

Brisket in the bag w/ some celery sticks, half an onion and a cup of morning coffee laced w/worcestershire, soy sauce, better than bullion, apple cider vinegar, molasses, celery seed, celery salt, cumin, onion salt, black pepper and more rub! Temp fell back to the 160's. Looks good so far. Left him on the traeger. It is a really nice day!Last edited by daveyd; September 20, 2017, 02:49 PM.

I have a Creekstone Master Chef Prime packer ready to hit the smoker on Friday and I plan a variant of that... I plan on smoking a separated point and flat to 155 and then walking the flat over to a SV bath for 36-48 hours @ 155. At that point I will drop the flat into an ice bath for a bit and then reverse sear him. Meanwhile, the point will get wrapped at the stall in butcher paper and then carried on out in the smoker as normal with a quick reverse sear ending. I have been playin around with that SV routine for the last 6 or 7 briskets and the 155 bath really nails the flat, but I have only been pre-smoking the flat for a couple hours before the bath. This time, I will smoke all the way to the bath temp and then drop him in for a couple days to see what comes out the backside. Good luck with your experiment. I am interested to see what the texture looks like after you juice it.

48 hours @ 155 is one of my shorter experiments... https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...63477-48-hours

Yeah, I remember. If I were smoking to 145, I don't think I'd SV over 145, but I've established I'm for low low SV.

Result! kind of surprising. At 190* dumped the juice in a bowl, dropped the brisket on a 500* grill. Cut the bag and pulled it away. Had my grill grates under the brisket, let him sizzle several minutes, rolled him onto a pan and flipped to the other side. Tender but did not fall apart. Should have spayed the grill grates with some non-stick oil, pulled off a little bark but not much. Thermometer made it to over 201* put him in a pan covered to rest. The bark survived the cooking bag, the meat itself is juicy but has that kind of dry texture. I have about 4 cups of juice in a bowl and remember I only added 1 cup of seasoned fluid. These results are contrary to what I expected, a softened bark and retained juicy brisket! The good news it is delicious and it was fun sharing with amazing ribs web site peoples.
