Ingredients:

  • 1 (8 -14 lb) beef brisket
  • 1/4 cup paprika
  • 1/3 cup kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp cumin
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tbsp cayenne
  • 1 tbsp onion powder

Directions:

  1. Trim the extreme excess fat from the brisket. Not too much though, fat is good for keeping this thing moist!
  2. Rinse the brisket and pat it dry with paper towels.
  3. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
  4. Generously coat one side of the brisket with the rub. Rub it in with your hands really good. This is very important!
  5. Flip the brisket and repeat the process.
  6. Wrap the brisket in a few layers of plastic wrap. Then one layer of foil. Put it in the fridge for about 24 hours.
  7. Prepare your smoker for smoking or your grill for indirect heating. You are looking to have your cooking chamber between 225 and 240 degrees.
  8. When grill is up to temp, place the brisket on the rack and WAIT!
  9. Smoke the meat for about 1 1/2 hours per pound. You are looking for an internal temp of 175-185 degrees at the thickest part of the brisket.
  10. I use Pecan wood chips for flavoring, but feel free to use Hickory, Cherry, or Apple as well. I never use Mesquite wood. Also, make sure you don't use green wood or it will taste horrible! Add a handful of soaked wood chips every 45 minutes for the first 8 hours.
  11. Some people like to mop a brisket. If you want to do this, do it during the second half of the process. Look for a mop recipe online if you want to do this.
  12. When it is done, wrap the brisket in foil and let it stand for about 30 minutes.
  13. Slice it against the grain and serve with Rock and Roll BBQ sauce (on buns if you like).
  14. I realize this may be more work than you are looking for. BUT if you want REAL BBQ this is the way you gotta do it.
