Speaking of Aaron Franklin, here is his take on the subject:

quote:

Impatience. “The biggest mistake I see is that people simply don’t let the meat cook long enough,” says Franklin. Trying to rush the process by taking the brisket off the smoker and finishing it in the oven, or wrapping the meat in foil to speed up cooking time will increase cooking time because the meat doesn’t have a chance to cook efficiently. Franklin recommends smoking the meat for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours per pound of meat. Finally, let it rest to seal in all the juices. “You just can’t force it—when it’s done when it’s done. And then you eat it.”

Yup, impatience is bad. Taking off the smoker and finishing in the oven is actually superior. All he is talking about is rushing the process.

Here is a video of him saying exactly the opposite. Not print but him on a video camera. Video will start at his comments on wrapping. He says it retains moisture, cooks faster, prevents meat from getting too smoky (flavor), or too dark.

We get the "BBQ with Franklin" show in Houston on PBS - Saturdays at 1:30. I really like Aaron and his show, never miss one, I wonder how it is shown on PBS since he drinks the whole time. But even Aaron would tell you the above is bullshite and even contradicts it in the above video. I have noticed that sometimes he tries too hard to not give away any of his secrets.

Video of Aaron wrapping the brisket he is cooking for friends and family in butcher paper. Video also starts at point of wrapping
