Smoked Beef Brisket

1. 1

   Mix dry ingredients well in a bowl

   Prepare brisket by trimming the fat cap down to around 1/4 inch.

   Prepare your smoker for a long, 'low and slow' cook.

   I cook my brisket at 215F for 16 hours, and always make sure the water pan has ample water.

9. 9

   I use hickory for my smoke

10. 10

    Smoke it!

11. 11

    It's done when the internal temperature is 190-200 degrees.

12. 12

    When smoking the temperature will get into the 160's quickly but don't worry, it will stay there for hours as the fat and connective tissue renders.

13. 13

    This is the magic of low and slow.

    Remove from smoker and immediately wrap in aluminum foil and place in a cooler to rest for 2 hours
