Welcome to the world of barbecue perfection with our ultimate smoked brisket recipe. Whether you're a seasoned pitmaster or a grilling newbie, this step-by-step guide will lead you to the juiciest and most flavorful brisket you've ever tasted. Let's dive into the smoky goodness!
Ingredients:
- 🥩 1 whole packer brisket, approximately 15-18 pounds, trimmed
- 🧂 Uncle Dibbz Texas Steak Rub (to taste)
Tools:
- 🌡️ Instant Read Thermometer
- 📄 Unwaxed Butcher Paper
- 🧴 Spray Bottle with Apple Cider Vinegar
Instructions:
- Prepare the Smoker:
- Preheat your pellet grill or smoker (e.g., Traeger Grills Ironwood XL) to 200°F (93°C) using oak, mesquite, hickory, or pecan pellets for a rich, smoky flavor.
- Prepare the Brisket:
- Ensure your brisket is well-trimmed, removing excess fat.
- Generously coat all sides of the brisket with Uncle Dibbz Texas Steak Rub, ensuring an even and thorough coverage.
- Smoke the Brisket:
- Place the brisket fat side up on the grill. If available, use a second shelf to position the brisket further from the heat.
- Smoke until the internal temperature of the brisket reaches 175°F (79°C), approximately 13 hours. Use your instant read thermometer to gauge the temperature accurately.
- Wrap the Brisket:
- Wrap the brisket tightly in unwaxed butcher paper to maintain the bark while allowing some airflow. Alternatively, foil can be used for a quicker cooking time, though this may soften the bark.
- Adjust the grill temperature gradually from 200°F to 275°F (93°C to 135°C) over 2-3 hours until the internal brisket temperature is 203°F (95°C) in the middle of the flat.
- Rest the Brisket:
- Ideally, rest the brisket in a warmer at 140°F (60°C) for 8 hours. For home cooks, resting at ambient temperature for 2 hours followed by keeping it warm at 165°F (74°C) on the grill, or in an oven at its lowest temperature (around 170°F/77°C), works well.
- Allow the brisket to sit until the internal temperature drops to 140°F (60°C).
- Slice and Serve:
- Unwrap the brisket, collecting any drippings to pour over the sliced meat.
- Slice only the portions you plan to serve immediately, ensuring they are tender and bursting with flavor.
