Instructions
Step 1
Trim the brisket, removing excess fat and silver skin, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat on the top. This helps to keep the meat moist during smoking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder. Rub this mixture all over the brisket, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Step 3
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Add your choice of wood chips to the smoker box or directly to the coals if using a charcoal smoker.
Step 4
vPlace the brisket fat-side up on the smoker grate. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the brisket.
Step 5
Smoke the brisket until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), which usually takes about 6-8 hours. During this time, maintain a consistent smoker temperature and add wood chips as needed to keep the smoke going.
Step 6
Once the brisket reaches 165°F, remove it from the smoker and wrap it tightly in butcher paper or aluminum foil. Pour the beef broth into the wrap to keep the meat moist.
Step 7
Return the wrapped brisket to the smoker and continue cooking until it reaches an internal temperature of 203°F (95°C), which can take an additional 3-5 hours.
Step 8
Remove the brisket from the smoker and let it rest, still wrapped, in a cooler or warm oven for at least 1 hour. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a tender and juicy brisket.
Step 9
Unwrap the brisket and slice it against the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices. Serve with your favorite barbecue sauce and sides.
