I've had good utilizing the calculator method with pork, chicken and sausage. I have been very happy with the result. Looking to switch it up and try brisket.

Anyone had success with this? How should I switch up the cooking of the meat? Sub Brisket for the Pork? If so, will I still get the gratin at the bottom of the pot?

Thanks in advance.

Just watch to keep it from being greasy. That would be my only concern with fatty brisket cuts.

Please post your results. Beef Jambalaya is not a thing I've heard of.

How are you going to get the brisket tender in the hour or so it takes to cook a jambalaya?

Interesting but no. Brisket has its place, not in a jambalaya.

Maybe cut the brisket into smaller hunks. Brown the shite out of all the sides, then throw it in a smoker till tender...shred into big junks.

Once the brisket is done then proceed to your pot like you would make a normal jambalaya...add shredded brisket into pot at end

Y’all are idiots. Brisket doesn’t belong in jambalaya. There’s absolutely nothing you can argue to change that fact. Make a real jambalaya and keep brisket for bbq. God, stop trying to be hip!

Not sure how it'd work but I'd eat it.

I've had a smoked brisket and sausage gumbo that was excellent. It sounded like crap at first but it was damn good.

Hell why stop there? May as well go with a thick cut bacon jambalaya. Or meatball jambalaya. Or seafood jambalaya topped with crawfish etouffee.

I’m sure if you cooked it most of the way tender in the oven in some beer stock, and before it gets too tender, chop it into 1.5” pieces, then brown it like you would pork, it may work

I probably wouldn’t do it just because it seems like extra work and has a chance of being overly difficult for nothing really to gain.

However , half chicken and half beef “better than bouillon” makes an aswesome flavor.
