Method

Brisket Preparation

1
Season the Brisket
Rub the beef rub seasoning all over the brisket, ensuring it is evenly coated. Wrap the seasoned brisket in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor.
2
Prepare the Smoker
Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Once preheated, drain the wood chips and add them to the smoker.
3
Smoke the Brisket
Place the brisket in the smoker, fat side up. Smoke for approximately 1 hour per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C) for tender brisket. This should take about 4-6 hours.
4
Rest the Brisket
Once the brisket is done, remove it from the smoker and wrap it in foil. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Sides Preparation

5
Prepare the Coleslaw
In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Toss well to combine. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
6
Prepare the Baked Beans
In a saucepan, combine the baked beans, BBQ sauce, and any additional seasonings you prefer. Heat over medium heat until warmed through, about 10-15 minutes.

Serving

7
Plate the Dish
Slice the brisket against the grain into thin slices. Serve on a platter with coleslaw and baked beans on the side. Drizzle BBQ sauce over the brisket and garnish with chopped parsley.
