Method
Preparation of Brisket
- 1
Prepare the Rub
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar to create a dry rub.
- 2
Apply Mustard
Spread mustard evenly over the entire surface of the brisket. This helps the rub adhere.
- 3
Season the Brisket
Generously sprinkle the dry rub over the brisket, ensuring to cover all sides evenly.
Smoking Process
- 4
Prepare the Smoker
Soak hickory wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This helps create smoke and prevents the chips from burning too quickly.
- 5
Heat the Smoker
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Once at temperature, add the soaked hickory wood chips.
- 6
Smoke the Brisket
Place the brisket in the smoker, fat side up. Smoke for approximately 1.5 hours per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 195-205°F (90-96°C).
