Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your smoker to 275°F, using indirect heat and your favorite firewood.

    Cooking Tip: Chef Johnny recommends a mixture of 60/40 oak to mesquite.

    Trim fat on cold Brisket to ¼-inch fat cap.

  3. Step 3

    Mix spices and evenly coat Brisket, fat side first.

    Place the Brisket on the smoker with the point end facing the main heat source, fat side down. Close the lid and smoke until internal temp reaches 165-175°F, approximately 5- 7 hours into the cook. Spritz with water occasionally to keep the bark tender.

  5. Step 5

    Wrap Brisket tightly in butcher paper and return to the smoker.

  6. Step 6

    Close the lid on the smoker, maintaining it at 275°F.

  7. Step 7

    Smoke until the Brisket reaches 200-205°F as indicated by a meat thermometer inserted into the point end.

  8. Step 8

    Remove Brisket and allow to rest for at least 2 hours.

  9. Step 9

    Slice Brisket across the grain at 140-150°F and serve.
