Print Recipe

Ingredients
  • 1 (8-14 lb) beef brisket .
  • 2 tbsps chili powder .
  • 2 tbsps brown sugar .
  • 1/3 c kosher salt .
  • 2 tbsps sugar .
  • 1/4 c paprika .
  • 2 tbsps ground pepper .
  • 2 tbsps cayenne .
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder .
  • 1 tbsp onion powder .
  • 3 tbsps cumin

Directions
  • Step #1 Trim the extreme excess fat from the brisket.
  • Step #2 Not too much though, fat is good for keeping this thing moist! Rinse the brisket & pat it dry with paper towels.
  • Step #3 Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Step #4 Generously coat one side of the brisket with the rub.
  • Step #5 "Rub" it in with your hands really good.
  • Step #6 This is very important! Flip the brisket & repeat the process.
  • Step #7 Wrap the brisket in a few layers of plastic wrap.
  • Step #8 Then one layer of foil wrap.
  • Step #9 Put it in the fridge for about 24 hrs.
  • Step #10 Prepare your smoker for smoking or your grill for indirect heating.
  • Step #11 You are looking to have your cooking chamber between 225 & 240 degrees.
  • Step #12 When grill is up to temp, place the brisket on the rack & WAIT! Smoke the meat for about 1 1/2 hrs per lb.
  • Step #13 You are looking for an internal temp of 175-185 degrees at the thickest part of the brisket.
  • Step #14 I use Pecan wood chips for flavoring, Cherry, but feel free to use Hickory, or Apple as well.
  • Step #15 I never use Mesquite wood.
  • Step #16 Also, make sure you don't use "green" wood or it will taste horrible! Add a handful of soaked wood chips every 45 mins for the first 8 hrs.
  • Step #17 Some people like to "mop" a brisket.
  • Step #18 If you want to do this, do it during the second half of the process.
  • Step #19 Look for a mop recipe online if you want to do this.
  • Step #20 When it is done, wrap the brisket in foil wrap & let it stand for about 30 mins.
  • Step #21 Slice it against the grain & serve this with Rock & Roll BBQ sauce (on buns if you like).
  • Step #22 I realize this may be more work than you are looking for.
  • Step #23 BUT if you want REAL BBQ this is the way you gotta do it.
  • Enjoy the Rock & Roll BBQ Brisket recipe
