Brisket Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    Trim excess fat from the brisket and rub Worcestershire sauce evenly over the meat.

  2. 2

    Make the Rub

    In a bowl, mix together paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and smoked paprika.

  3. 3

    Apply the Rub

    Generously coat the brisket with the spice mixture, pressing it into the meat. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Smoker

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) and add wood chips to the smoker box.

  5. 5

    Smoke the Brisket

    Place the brisket in the smoker and smoke for approximately 4-5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C).

  6. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the brisket from the smoker and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
