Meat

Rub

BBQ Sauce

Wood Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    Trim excess fat from the beef brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat for flavor. Remove the membrane from the pork ribs.

  2. 2

    Make the Rub

    In a bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Apply the Rub

    Generously rub the spice mixture all over the beef brisket and pork ribs. Make sure to cover all sides. Let the meat sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Prepare the Grill/Smoker

    Soak the hickory wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. Preheat your grill or smoker to 225°F (107°C).

  2. 5

    Cook the Meat

    Place the beef brisket and pork ribs on the grill or smoker. Add the soaked hickory wood chips to the smoker box or directly on the coals. Close the lid.

  3. 6

    Monitor Cooking Time

    Cook for about 6-8 hours, or until the internal temperature of the brisket reaches 195°F (90°C) and the ribs are tender and pulling away from the bone.

BBQ Sauce Preparation

  1. 7

    Make the BBQ Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  2. 8

    Simmer the Sauce

    Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve the BBQ

    Once the meat is cooked, remove it from the grill/smoker and let it rest for 20 minutes. Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with the pork ribs and BBQ sauce.
