Smoked Brisket Recipe!

This traditional Texas-style Beef Brisket recipe will produce a great piece of smoked meat. This basic recipe gives you all you need to know to smoke a brisket. From here you can learn to take your brisket to a whole new level.


Ingredients:

• 8-10 pound untrimmed brisket
• 1/2 cup chili rub
• wood chips/pellets (oak, fruit wood, hickory)

Preparation:
Preheat smoker and add wood chips (follow your instruction manual). Clean and dry the brisket. Apply chili rub. Place brisket in smoker for approximately 8-10 hours or until the internal temp reaches 160 degrees. Keep the smoker temperature at about 220 degrees F. To increase tenderness, take the brisket out of the smoker, wrap in aluminum foil and place in oven at 180-200 degrees for the last two hours. Typically after 8-10 hours a piece of meat will have absorbed as much smoke as it can and additional smoking may impart a bitter flavor.
