Description
Smoking a brisket is a rite of passage for any true meat lover, and Grid Iron Meat has the perfect cut for the job.
Our native breed beef brisket is a thing of beauty – a marbled masterpiece that practically begs to be slow-smoked to perfection. Whether you’re a seasoned pitmaster or a newcomer to the world of smoking, our whole brisket is a must-try.
When you buy a brisket from Grid Iron Meat, you’re not just getting any old cut of meat. Our native breed beef is sourced from trusted farms and is aged to perfection, ensuring the best possible flavour and texture. And because we believe in quality over quantity, we only stock a limited number of briskets at any one time – so when you see one available, you know you’re in for a treat.
But what sets our brisket apart from the rest? It’s all in the marbling. Our native breed beef is naturally high in intramuscular fat, which means that when it’s slow-cooked over low heat, it practically melts in your mouth. And because we only source whole briskets, you can be sure that every bite will be as succulent and flavourful as the last.
Of course, smoking a brisket takes time and effort – but we believe it’s worth it for the end result. And with our whole briskets, you can rest assured that you’re getting the perfect cut for the job. So why not take your BBQ game to the next level and try a brisket from Grid Iron Meat today? Your taste buds will thank you.
Here are some suggestions for smoking a brisket
Classic Texas-style: Rub the brisket with a blend of 15g salt, 15g black pepper, and 10g garlic powder, and smoke it with oak or hickory wood at a temperature of around 107-121°C for 10-12 hours.
Coffee Rub: Coat the brisket with a rub made from 20g ground coffee, 10g paprika, 10g brown sugar, 5g salt, and 5g black pepper, and smoke it with oak or hickory wood at a temperature of around 107-121°C for 10-12 hours.
Mustard and Herb: Rub the brisket with a mixture of 15g Dijon mustard, 15g dried herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, and oregano), and 10g garlic powder, and smoke it with fruitwood (such as apple or cherry) at a temperature of around 107-121°C for 10-12 hours.
Remember to use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the brisket reaches 93-96°C for maximum tenderness and flavour. Enjoy!
These tips from experienced pitmasters can help you achieve the perfect smoked brisket every time. Remember to have fun and enjoy the process!
“The key to a great brisket is low and slow. Don’t rush the cooking process, and be patient. Let the smoke and the heat work their magic.” – Aaron Franklin, pitmaster and owner of Franklin Barbecue.
“Don’t be afraid to experiment with different wood types and rubs. Every pitmaster has their own style, and you should find what works best for you.” – Tootsie Tomanetz, pitmaster at Snow’s BBQ.
“A whole brisket is a big piece of meat, and it can be intimidating. But remember, it’s just meat. Treat it with respect, and it will reward you with incredible flavour.” – Daniel Vaughn, BBQ editor at Texas Monthly.
“The most important thing when smoking a brisket is to be patient. It’s not a race, and you can’t rush the process. Trust the process and let the brisket do its thing.” – Chris Lilly, pitmaster at Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q.
“When cooking a whole brisket, I like to wrap it in butcher paper after a few hours in the smoker. This helps to keep the moisture in and creates a nice bark on the outside.” – Jess Pryles, author of “Hardcore Carnivore“.
We also have a half brisket (flat end) and a half brisket (point end)

We were delighted when the meat arrived as it was actually 6.5kg and looked very good. The packaging was great and the temperature of the meat on arrival was great. Sadly the trimming of the meat was badly done and there were lots of bare patches on the flat cap side where the fat had been completely trimmed down to the meat. This made it very hard to keep the meat moist.

Unbelievably large brisket flat, very thick, throughout, flats are consistent, but usually thinner, this was outstanding, better than most usda flats I’ve bought,
I have already bought another, and will again! Don’t hesitate to get this, it’s a good size bit of meat that cooks great low and slow.

I ordered the flat brisket. I froze this ready for this weekend. Today, after defrosting i prepared my brisket ready for smoking. In my opinion the flat has not been separated correctly from the point. If anything, This brisket looks like it has just been cut in half. The meat however looks like good quality.

Weight range stated 5.5 to 6.5kg but brisket delivered was just over 5kg. Wasn’t expecting much marbling of fat as grass fed so needs some fat cap, unfortunately most of it has been removed.

First time I have used Gridiron and I was very impressed. The half brisket (flat end) I bought was top quality. It came in at 3.4kg & was well trimmed. Smoked on the Kamado for 8 hours & tasted superb, very tender! It fed 6 greedy people & loads left over for packed lunches, so great value. Will be ordering more soon.
