Smoked Brisket

  • One day ahead of smoking, trim fat from brisket and lightly score, then allow to come back to room temperature and coat with prepared rub.
  • Day of smoking, preheat smoker to 235 degrees Fahrenheit and trim brisket in halves or fourths to fit in smoker.
  • Add brisket to smoker and smoke with hickory or applewood pellets until the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees Fahrenheit as per a meat thermometer, about 2 and a half hours, rotating and turning brisket halfway through. Chef’s Tip: Monitor wood pellets, as they may need refilling before smoking is done.
  • Place a double layer of aluminum foil on the counter; remove brisket and place on foil.
  • Brush brisket with prepared glaze, wrap tightly in foil, and cook an additional 30 minutes, until brisket reaches 200 degrees Fahrenheit, as per a meat thermometer.
  • Remove from smoker, keep wrapped in foil, and allow to rest for 30 minutes before slicing and serving with your favorite barbeque sauce.
