Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Smoker

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

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Rub the beef brisket generously with beef rub, ensuring it's evenly coated on all sides.

  3. 3

    Smoke the Beef

    Place the brisket in the smoker and add the soaked wood chips. Smoke for 1.5 hours per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C).

  4. 4

    Rest and Chop

    Once done, remove the brisket from the smoker and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. Chop the smoked beef into bite-sized pieces.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the chopped smoked beef warm, optionally with barbecue sauce or your favorite sides.
