The best recipe for Barbecue Brisket {Using A DIY Smoker}
Description
The best recipe for Barbecue Brisket {Using A DIY Smoker} starts with a beef brisket of 3 to 6 pounds, fat intact, to retain moisture during the long cooking process. A spice rub featuring paprika, brown sugar, onion powder, oregano, garlic salt, and salt is generously applied to coat the meat, forming a seasoned crust.
The brisket is then placed over indirect heat on a grill equipped with a drip pan beneath to catch juices. Cooking is slow, lasting about one and a half hours per pound, using smoke if available to impart flavor. About an hour into the process, the drippings are used to baste the brisket every thirty minutes to keep the meat moist and developing a rich color.
The goal is to reach an internal temperature between 160 and 185 degrees Fahrenheit, at which point the brisket will be tender yet sliceable. This recipe produces a smoky, moderately sweet, and savory barbecue brisket suitable for slicing and serving with barbecue sides or sandwiches.
Ingredients
- 3-6 lb beef brisket fat intact
- 1/4 cup paprika
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 1 tbsp garlic salt
- 1 tbsp salt
Instructions
- Mix spices together in a bowl and generously rub into the brisket.
- Place on the grill over indirect heat with a drip pan directly under the meat.
- After about an hour, start to use the drippings to baste the brisket every half hour.
- Grill or smoke (if using a smoker box) for 1 1/2 hours per pound of meat, or until internal temperature is between 160 degrees and 185 degrees.
