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.

My favorite thing about brisket is the hours spent by the fire, occasionally smelling wood smoke, having a drink and enjoying the slow life.

“I ain’t got nothing to hide!” Is the understatement of bbq history!!

And here I am smoking a brisket on my Weber kettle for 11 to 12 hours. Franklin's ideas are pure gold. Thanks so much

Such a down-to-earth, no-frills video. Love the genuine approach and presentation.

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.

Mr. Franklin, I love that you work with PBS. Keep going, PLEASE!

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. 😋

Thank you, Aaron Franklin, for teaching me the ways of a brisket. I compliment you every time I smoke a brisket. You are definitely the Yoda of brisket. Team aluminum foil. Lol! Htown boy here.

I've seen him explain his technique multiple times, but there's art to it. you need the experience and art to make brisket to his level.

I met Aaron once at an event in Texas. SUPER nice guy.

[bookerdaniels]

So cool to see a guy who takes his craft seriously but does not take himself too seriously.

Aaron Franklin is the absolute GOAT when it comes to Texas BBQ! Love this video!

At the very beginning the dude wrapping the brisket was dripping sweat onto it. That defines a great brisket

[georgesheffield]

He is telling EVERONE, including his competitors and future competitors how to do it right

[FerretLve]

Meat Church did a great video like this with multiple Dallas area pit masters. Highly recommend too!

[trxcummins]

One of the biggest variables I have seen on cooking a brisket is the actual brisket itself there's a huge difference if you get a choice brisket from Walmart versus a butcher's cut from an actual meat market
