Whole Brisket on the Offset Smoker
This was a very basic brisket recipe we used, this was our first time cooking a Brisket on the offset. Fire management is key and can be very tedious. For this recipe we used a coffee based rub which turned out great and the rub let the meat flavor stand alone. Like all of our recipes, this can be achieved on most smokers.
Give it a try we think you will enjoy.
· 1 16-18 whole brisket
· 4 tbsp. coarse salt
· 2 tbsp. instant coffee
· 4 tbsp. garlic powder
· 4 tbsp. dark brown sugar
· 2 tbsp. smoked paprika
· 2 tbsp. paprika
· 2 tbsp. onion powder
· 2 tbsp. black pepper
· 2 tbsp. cumin
· 2 tbsp. Chili powder
First mix all of the above dry ingredients thoroughly. Remove your brisket from its packaging and rinse.
At this point with a sharp knife remove as much fat as possible from the brisket. Along with the fat you want to remove any silver skin as well. This process can be tedious and will take most of your prep time.
You want to be careful not to gouge any large chunks of meat from the brisket while completing this process. At this point you want to completely cover the brisket with all of the rub you mixed up. If you prefer to use a different rub, by all means do so. Once the meat is covered thoroughly let it rest and fire up your smoker. For this cook up shooting to have my smoker between 225-250 degrees. I used Hickory and Oak wood for this cook. Once my smoker had leveled off I placed the brisket on the front of the smoker with the point end toward the hottest part of the smoker. I placed a digital wireless thermometer in the flat. Once the temp reached 160 degrees (about 8 hours) I wrapped the brisket in pink butcher paper and re-inserted the thermometer. I placed the brisket back on the smoker and continued to cook until the internal temp reached 202 degrees. Using an instant read thermometer I checked various places on the brisket for tenderness. I then removed from the smoker and placed the wrapped brisket in a cooler to rest for at least 4 hours. After the rest I sliced and served!
