Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rub

    In a bowl, mix together paprika, brown sugar, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to create the rub.

  2. 2

    Rub the Meats

    Generously apply the rub to the brisket, ribs, and sausage. Wrap them in plastic wrap and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Smoker

    Prepare your smoker for indirect heat and preheat to 225°F (107°C).

  2. 4

    Smoke the Brisket

    Place the brisket in the smoker and cook for about 1.5 hours per pound, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C).

  3. 5

    Smoke the Ribs

    Add the ribs to the smoker about 3 hours before the brisket is done. Cook until tender.

  4. 6

    Smoke the Sausage

    Add the sausage to the smoker during the last hour of cooking.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 7

    Make the BBQ Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine tomato sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.

Serving
