Hey guys, welcome to another episode of Texas Brew and Barbecue. Today's video is brought to you by Rectech because I'm your official backyard ambassador for Rectech. Today we are doing beer brats, okay? It's a very simple cook and I'm doing this on the RT-1250. It's the 1250. We added the 1250 to the Rectech arsenal back here and I got to say it is phenomenal. For more information on the 1250, go to Rectech.com, check it out, do a side by side comparison and find out which smokers right for you, especially if you're in the market for a pellet grill. I highly recommend the 1250. Second shelf, put a lot of food on there. It's a great smoker. One of my favorites right now. All right, we are going to jump into the beer brat. You're going to need two ingredients, three, four ingredients. Unions thinly sliced, put in the bottom of this aluminum pan, done. Beer brats and I'm going to rub, I'm going to put a Ron Screamin' Pig rub in the beer bath. The onion's in the beer. This is where I'm going to add the rub. I'm not going to put it on the brats itself. I'm just going to add it to the beer bath. We are also going to be making these beautiful brats an eight beer. Your outside of Texas, I'm so sorry, you can't get this yet. All my Texans go to your local grocery store, whatever they sell, your favorite beers, and pick up a 12 pack of eight. This is a great logger. When it comes to beer brats, you hear a lot of different things on what kind of beer to use. You can use a light beer, use an IPA, use a light beer. I like a light logger and the reason I do that is because you want to pick the beer that you really enjoy the flavor of because that flavor is going to get into those brats. I don't like IPAs because they will leave a bitter taste inside the brat, not a fan of bitter taste. So the 1250 is at 400 degrees and we are going to start the process. You want to make sure that your smoker is preheated. I'm going to pour probably three of these beers inside this pan. I'm going to add one more. Now that we got the beer in the pan, we're on screen with a pig rub. We're going to add that in there. So now that we have the beer onions, we're going to take our brats. We're going to just put them right there inside the pan. All right, so the next thing that we're going to do now that we have them in here, we're going to cover these things in foil and we're going to put them directly on the smoker until they reach a boil. Once they start boiling, then we're going to let them simmer for about 15 minutes. This whole process will take 30 minutes total. But make sure if you're not sure how to cook these, make sure you get an instant reap their thermometer and probe the brats. You want a 160 internal. That's a safe broth right there, okay? Just get them on the smoker. We'll come check on these in about 15 minutes. All right, so now what we're going to do is we're going to take these brats out of the beer bath and we're going to put them directly on the grate. And you're going to grill them up. You're going to want these to go for about four or five minutes aside. We should have taken that shelf out, but I didn't. So we're going to let those grill for about four or five minutes. We'll flip them in between and then we're going to be making a brat dog. This is a brat dog. Just make a brat dog. Gotta go with spicy mustard. Spicy mustard, relish, sour, crout, onions. The only way to dress up a beer brat spicy mustard and onions that were boiling in that beer. Here we go guys. Damn it's good. Oh my gosh. That's a good beer brat. Try and do this again. That's a damn good beer brat. Until the next video guys, cheers.
