BBQ with Franklin
Pitmaster Aaron Franklin takes a boisterous road trip of BBQ culture -- the people, the places, and of course the food. Ten half-hour episodes celebrate the traditions and storied histories passed down through the generations, as well as those breathing new life into this distinctly American culture.

  • I have watched his Master Class and it was great! Before wrapping he usually puts beef tallow under the meat and sprays the paper with apple cider vinegar, then back into the cooker. It made a huge difference in mine for sure.

  • I also live in Austin. When I smoke a brisket, I will smoke it for 6 hours and when it’s time to wrap it, I will stick it in the oven at 250 for the rest of the time. It works wonders. I usefully try to start it around 6 in the evening so that way come midnight I stick it in the oven and let it go til 6-7 the next morning. 😋

    • Yes, After you smoke for 6 hours, the smoke ring and bark are formed. After wrapping in butcher paper, you are basically just holding temps at that point. What better way to hold temp than in an oven. It is not like the smoke is gonna permeate the paper. I love it. And don't hear people talk about it. Kinda my own little gig. @@asianangler

  • what a great vid. fun fact, there is no difference between the shiny and dull side of tinfoil. those two sides are a product of the manufacturing process, they cant roll the aluminum thin enough as one sheet but they can do it as two so when they do the final roll one side gets touched by the rollers and the other is pressed against another sheet of foil, thus the two different appearances.
