Brisket

Are you ready to smoke a brisket? Check out this great recipe. It makes some great brisket that you and all your friends and family are sure to love.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons salt
• 2 tablespoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons onion powder
• 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper or more depending on your taste
• 1 Bottle of mustard
• 1 beef brisket
• Or you may simply use your own brisket rub

 

Here is a great rub that just tastes great! You can find it at pretty much any grocery store.

 

 

Mix all of your spices together. Spread a nice thin layer of mustard all over your brisket. The mustard will help keep all your spices on the brisket and you will not taste the mustard at all when you are done. Now spread your spice rub all over the brisket being sure to rub the entire surface with a great coat of your spices.

Once your smoker is ready then place your brisket on the smoker. There are two types of people in this world, fat side up and fat side down. I myself prefer to put the brisket on with the fat side up.

You will want to keep your meat between 225 to 250 F. You will want to do your best to maintain the temperature throughout the cooking process. The length of time to cook your brisket will be at about 11/2 hours per pound of brisket.

Once your brisket reaches a temperature of 170 F then you will want to remove it and wrap it in aluminum foil. Return the brisket to the smoker and let it cook for another couple of hours. Once the brisket reaches 190F then you may remove it and let it sit for about 30-45 minutes.

Once it has cooled down then you may slice it and serve.
