Smoked Brisket Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 packer brisket split between flat and point
- 1 bottle Patriot’s BBQ beef and shoulder rub
- 3 to 6 oz spicy brown mustard
- apple juice for basting and bath
- beer for cooking and bath
Brisket Recipe Instructions:
Trim brisket to separate the flat from the point.
Trim fat from the separated pieces top ¼ inch or less. Slather meat with spicy brown mustard.
Rub meat generously with the dry rub. Wrap and let rest for 8 to 12 hours.
Set the Masterbuilt smoker at 230°F. Foil the water tray to make clean up easier.
Add a mixture of hot water, beer & apple juice to the bath.
Smoke with your favorite woods. I prefer oak and hickory.
Keep adding small amounts of wood at a time until the meat hits an internal temperature of 140°F.
After hour 2 of the smoke, start spritzing the meat with apple juice every two hours until the meat hits 165°F.
Foil the meat with one last spritz of apple juice.
Continue to cook until the internal temperature gets to 195°F.
Remove from your Masterbuilt smoker, wrap in towels and rest in an insulated container for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Two hours is best. Slice it and enjoy!
Average brisket time is 12 -13 hours with a few going longer. This is only an estimate because every brisket is different.
Cooking by temperature is the only way to cook brisket properly.
