Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Brisket

Trim the brisket of any excess fat, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat on one side. This will help keep the meat moist during cooking.

2

Season the Brisket

In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub the spice mixture generously over the brisket, making sure to cover all sides.

3

Cook the Brisket

Preheat your smoker or grill to 225°F (107°C). Place the brisket on the smoker and cook for about 6-8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 203°F (95°C).

4

Cube the Brisket

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

5

Sauce the Burnt Ends

In a large bowl, toss the brisket cubes with BBQ sauce and honey until well coated.

6

Finish Cooking

Return the sauced brisket cubes back to the smoker or grill, and cook for an additional 1-2 hours at 275°F (135°C) until caramelized and slightly crispy on the edges.

7

Serve

Remove the burnt ends from the smoker or grill, and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with additional BBQ sauce if desired.
