I've coated my butcher paper with beef tallow the past few times I've done a brisket but I've rendered it on the stove. I want to render it on my smoker tomorrow when I put the brisket on around 4:00 am. Any advice, suggestions? Thanks.

Take your trimmings, cut away most meat, put in foil pan near fire box, render away.


Why not just skip the trimming?bdgol07 said:

I've got to ask. Is the beef tallow really the secret to getting an Aaron Franklin quality brisket, as Mad Scientist BBQ claims?One-Eyed Fat Man said:

For those wondering, these are the rub Proportions John Lewis left in the comment:
8 parts coarse ground pepper
3 parts Lawry's
3 parts kosher salt (I would recommend diamond crystal as it is less salty, but he may use morton's)
1 part granulated garlic.
Rub it down with a half and half mixture of hot dog mustard and pickle juice first before sprinkling the rub on.
Also, I'm fairly certain he uses dill pickle juice. As far as "parts," I think you just need to use the same volumetric measurement.
E.g.
8 TBSP Black Pepper
3 TBSP Lawry's
3 TBSP Kosher Salt
1 TBSP Granulated garlic
You could do this with 8 cups black pepper, 3 cups Lawry's etc. You could even do it with gallons if you're really ambitious. Just make sure the measure is the same.
Hope this helps. I'll do my best to get back to anyone who responds to this for a week or so after the video is posted.
