The Secret to Competition-Level Texas Brisket on a Pellet Smoker

In this video, we’re taking on the king of backyard BBQ: Authentic Texas-Style Brisket cooked right on a pellet smoker! We break down the complete process step-by-step—from how to aggressively trim the flat and point for aerodynamics, to dialing in that classic Texas Dalmatian seasoning (coarse salt and black pepper) for an unbeatable, dark bark. Whether you're firing up a Pit Boss Titan or another pellet grill, you'll learn key tips on smoke management, temp control, and knowing exactly when to wrap. The real game-changer in today's cook comes down to patience and the resting stage. We walk through how proper insulation and hold times turn a good brisket into a melt-in-your-mouth masterpiece. Plus, I share how we use our collapsible meat resting tubs to contain the mess, hold heat, and streamline the prep and rest process.

Join us on our journey as we continue to rebuild, refit and prepare our Formosa 51 Sailboat for our continued cruising journey. We have always loved the Formosa, bought one (on a bit of a whim) late in 2014, moved aboard this one right away and started to do our refit while living board. We are avid fans of Cruising Outpost and Good Ole Boat (Good Old Boat) magazines and love the ideas we get from them.
