You burn less wood. Less time spent burning wood while your meat is just sitting there for those 6 to 10 hours in the stall mean less wood burned (and more saved money for you!).By wrapping your meat during the stall, you are able to get over the hump of waiting for the meat to stop evaporating liquid and begin rising in temperature again. Let’s talk about the benefits of using the Texas Crutch when making some delicious BBQ: It is during this stall period that pit masters will wrap their meat in either foil or butcher paper to stop the liquid from evaporating and speed the cooking process. Oftentimes, you can get your meat to 145 degrees in a few hours, but from there your meat temperature does not rise, and you are stuck in this 6 to 10 hour period where the meat isn’t increasing in temperature. This occurs when the internal temperature of your meat reaches between 145 to 175 degrees F where the meat is evaporating liquid, so the meat cools down and it slows the cooking process. They clearly know their stuff.īefore we continue, let’s take a second to talk about The Stall (AKA The Brisket Stall or The BBQ Stall). It not only helps to retain moisture and make your meat the juiciest ever, it also works well to get your meat through the often long and arduous “barbecue stall.”ĭuring the summer of 2018, my husband Todd was behind the scenes in the pits of one of the most popular Texas BBQ joints, and they were using foil to crutch their meat because it speeds up cooking time and makes their meat tender and juicy. Using the Texas Crutch is a pretty classic way to make great BBQ. It was made popular by the competition BBQ circuit, but it is actively used in a lot of restaurant settings as well. The Texas Crutch is a method of wrapping your meat during smoking or slow roasting to speed up the cooking process. This post is sponsored by Reynolds Wrap®. Wrapping your meat in foil during the cooking process ensures it comes out beautifully smoked and full of flavor.
