Put all the drippings in a glass jar, put in refrig until fat rises to the top, remove fat and use the rest for dipping sauce!

I have actually been wanting to try this with brisket and with pork butt but I either never remember to save the drippings or they get used up in making sauce. I think I will smoke a chuck or two just to get some liquid.

It works like crap in a shoulder...
 
After letting mine chill and removing the fat off of the top I just brought mine to a boil, poured it into a sterile mason jar, capped and boiled for two minutes. Do you think this would keep in a pantry or fridge for an extended period or should I freeze it if not using it right away?

It would need to be pressure canned to be shelf stable. Will keep in the fridge for a week or so. You could also freeze it.
 
Good ideas except I don't usually remove the fat....if I where to remove it I would definitely save it to fry up my eggs in.
 
I use a gravy separator and remove the fat. Then I'll put it in a small container and dredge the brisket slices in the goodness as I serve them.

I've also been known to doctor the drippings with just a little BBQ sauce.

I read somewhere (maybe another forum) where a guy saved all of his fat to deep fry duck breast in. Sounds pretty darn yummy!!!
 
You mean like in a pressure cooker?

Pressure canner. I can meat and stock at 12lbs pressure here in my location. The pressure is different for higher and lower altitudes. The stock/meat is shelf stable for about 5 years.
 
Maybe i should try and collect the brisket drippings. I have always considered it to be unusable GREASE. Maybe i should buy a separator and try it before I knock it. I cooked a 15lb packer on sunday and threw out all of the drippings. Maybe 2/3 cups worth.

You don't really need a separator. I poured mine in a bowl and put it in the fridge. Once chilled the fat hardens on top and will come off in a solid disk. Then just put the remaining juice (gelatin) in what ever container that you wish to freeze it in.
 
The answer is after the Movie [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNl9k2bB-0Q&index=10&list=PL-FMdthfYNpRYQmOhz-Xy-koAYsi0_2K_"]Bonus Video - Pitmaster T's Flash Congeal Process (With Movie) - YouTube[/ame]
 
Separate the fat (either skim it off the top or use a turkey baster to pull the juice from the bottom) and add it to your favorite bbq sauce. I use about 1/4 cup of drippings to 2 cups of sauce, but your taste may vary.

I can recommend something like this for helping separate fat and juice..

Put the drippings in a cast iron skillet and dillute with old cold coffee. Stir and thicken with flour or cornstarch. You will get a deep brown chocolate lookin gravy that is a derivative of "Red Eye Gravy"

My Gawd it is good enough to dump the gravy in a glass and add Vodka

I personally prefer to use cajun Style Chicory laced coffee---oh man

This is what I was thinking.
