Time for an experiment? Possibly!

So, YouTube is a wonderful resource to have, is it not?

I ran across this video below and it has set a ball in motion.



I am going to try this as I am intrigued by the outcome. Maybe it'll be a game changer (I loathe that phrase yet here we are, lol).

With all the fine cooks on this forum, I am certainly waiting for any results that they get from this method.  I always look for any way to improve especially for brisket.

Heck, I'll try it.

The KBQ does a fine job but I seem to have a hard time ever being satisfied, always looking to improve. It actually drives me nuts sometimes, lol!

Snake River Farms sell Wagyu beef tallow.  Their marketing name for it is Chef's Gold if I'm not mistaken.

Their website description says Chef's Gold is made from prime

In all honesty, I think I am just going to use Kroger's "Private Selection" beef tallow for the initial run. Being that I am just looking for moisture, I think it'll be fine. We shall see!

Or of course you could render your own if you can source decent suet or leaf fat (Ask your butcher). Jus' sayin'...

[akruckus]

render any fat you take of the brisket would do the trick as well.... I'd be interested to hear the results, about 2 feet of snow around my smoker at the moment so I don't see any bbq in my future.

I can't recall what this was trimmed from, possibly a beef tenderloin, it made excellent tallow.

I've done both options and they worked fine for me but hesitated to recommend them in competition with all the "gourmet" choices being discussed. Glad to see I'm not the only one who works with what I've already got on hand instead of going out and buying an expensive substitute.

I wouldn't call the beef tallow that I plan on buying "expensive". It's $7.00

If I like the results, great. If not, then I'll fry up some taters with the rest, lol.

I'd call that a "Win/Win" ! ! !

Yes indeed, lots of winning involved

Boy that looks great...may i ask a dumb question ?  It may not be as good but could you use butter too?

I must add that i am watching this great video & as he goes to unwrap it my dog lets out a SBD. When the aroma hits me it just ruined it for me lol.
