Sides (Choose Two)

Method

Preparation of Brisket

  1. 1

    Trim the Brisket

    Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat for flavor.

  2. 2

    Apply Dry Rub

    In a bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the brisket.

Cooking the Brisket

  1. 3

    Smoke the Brisket

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place the brisket on the smoker and cook for approximately 6-8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C).

  2. 4

    Wrap the Brisket

    Once the brisket reaches 165°F (74°C), wrap it in foil to retain moisture and continue cooking until it reaches the target temperature.

Preparing Burnt Ends

  1. 5

    Cube the Brisket

    Once cooked, remove the brisket from the smoker and let it rest for 30 minutes. Cut the brisket into 1-inch cubes.

  2. 6

    Toss in Sauce

    In a bowl, toss the brisket cubes with your choice of BBQ sauce until well coated.

Finishing Touches

  1. 7

    Return to Smoker

    Place the sauced brisket cubes back on the smoker at 275°F (135°C) for another 1-2 hours, allowing them to caramelize.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the burnt ends with your choice of two sides and additional BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
