smoked brisket


Recommended Posts

Read up on it, and just do it. Plan on a long cook if you are smoking at less than 275 deg. Don't use as much sugar as one would on pork. Brining can help, but is a pain on a huge peice of meat like that. Make sure it gets to at least 195 deg internal, and let it rest for at least a half hour, but 2 hours is better. Be prepared for a lot of juice when slicing!

Salt, kracket pepper, ciyan pepper, garlic powder, oregano and whatever you like. Put oil on brisket and rub it down 2-3 hours before you cook it. We used one of those green egg slow cookers and they work amazing.

I smoked a 5.5 lb brisket on Saturday for the first time in my Masterbuilt with the Amazen Smoker. I rubbed it the night before with the "Mountain Man" rub from Cabela's and wrapped it in Saran Wrap. I took it out the next day and let it sit on the counter for almost 2 hrs prior to putting it in the smoker. I used a mixture of Peach and Hickory pellets for 4.5 hrs of smoke. Wrapped it when it hit 165 degrees, then I pulled it out at 192 degrees, wrapped it in towels and put it in the cooler for 2 hrs.

It did soften the bark but it was tender and the juice redistributed and stayed in the meat and not on the cutting board.

I need to change up the seasoning next time (make my own), but over all it was a successful first try.
