Smoked brisket is one of our favorite meals. If you wrap your brisket a few hours before taking it off of the smoker, it will increase the tenderness tremendously.

How To Make smoked brisket
-
1If you buy an untrimmed brisket you will probably want to trim some of the fat off. It's good to leave a moderate amount to help keep the brisket juicy. -
2Rub generous amount of bold & spicy mustard over entire brisket. Coat heavily with coarse black pepper. Wrap & refrigerate overnite if possible.
-
3Place on smoker. Cooking time is approx. 45 min. to 1 hr. per pound. **Cooking time may vary depending on temperature of smoker and fat content of brisket, as well as doneness desired. After first two hours, flip every two hours. You may want to place a pan of water in smoker under brisket to help keep moisture in the smoker.
-
4Internal temp should be between 180-195. Take brisket off & let rest 30 before slicing. If you want a super tender brisket, try wrapping it in foil a few hours before it reaches temp, this will help keep moisture and it will be unbelievably tender.
