Temperature of smoker, the thickness of the meat, and fat content all play a part in cooking time. On average, you can plan on a cooking time of 1 hour per pound at 250° F.
Cook the brisket for 1 to 1.5 hours per pound, at a temperature between 200 and 250 degrees, adding both dry and soaked wood chips as necessary to keep the temperature consistent.
In a spray bottle, combine apple juice and apple cider vinegar. The acidity of the spary helps tendernerize the meat and adds to the flavor. Spray the brisket each time you refresh the wood.
At Royal Ranch, exceptional beef is born from meticulous care, top-notch nutrition, and serene surroundings, delivering a truly exceptional taste.
It all comes down to ethical care, Royal Ranch's secret to creating that unforgettable melt-in-your-mouth beef. Thriving naturally, without artificial hormones or unnecessary antibiotics while living in a low-stress, harmonious environment, they develop the distinct marbling that makes their beef truly exceptional.
Royal Ranch Cattle are born and nurtured on fertile land under a modest climate, and personally tended to by the Allred family from birth. They enjoy a diet that's 90% homegrown, carefully tailored to their unique biology, with nutrient-rich local crops, grains, and vegetables. This diverse, high-quality diet guarantees marbling perfection throughout their lifetime, resulting in unrivaled texture, tenderness, and flavor.
Austin Allred's farming legacy, stemming from his grandparents' beginnings in the 1950s, has evolved into Royal Ranch, a 5,000-acre expanse in Central Washington. Here, traditional crops coexist with dairy and beef cattle, fostering soil health and emissions reduction. Notably, a pioneering six-acre worm bed system purifies and recycles irrigation water. These initiatives have steered Royal Ranch toward carbon neutrality, ensuring a sustainable future for the land and the planet.
Austin and his wife Camille acknowledged the existing disconnect between the farm, the consumer, and all aspects of the food production process. Driven by their desire to offer customers a genuine understanding of their food's origins, they founded FarmTracer — a comprehensive farm transparency system. This platform empowers consumers to learn more about their food choices, from the farm's location and the animals' diet to the product's carbon footprint. By simply scanning the QR code on the packaging, customers gain access to a wealth of information, ensuring complete transparency and traceability.
