Steps:
- Combine all the spices in a bowl, mix well. Pat the spice rub onto the meat, making sure to heavily season the entire surface area of the brisket. Cover or wrap the brisket and let it sit at room temperature while getting the smoker or charcoal grill fired up. Do not leave at room temperature for longer than 1 hour.
- The grill is ready when the charcoal has burned to a white ash. If using a grill instead of a smoker, arrange the coals on 1 side of the grill, leaving an area large enough for the brisket to cook indirectly with no coals directly underneath the meat.
- When the grill has reached 200 to 225 degrees F, scatter 1/4 of the wood chips over the coals, close the grate, put the brisket on the grill and close the lid.
- Maintain a 200 to 225 degree F cooking temperature inside the grill, adding coals every 2 hours or as necessary. Add wood chips and spray the brisket with apple juice every time you add new coals. Try not to lift the lid of the grill at any other time.
- When the brisket reaches an internal temperature of 165 to 170 degrees F on an instant read meat thermometer (after about 4 to 5 hours), remove it from the grill and double wrap in aluminum foil to keep the juices from leaking out. Return the brisket to the grill (or smoker) The brisket is finished cooking when it is very tender and reaches an internal temperature of 190 degrees F, about another 1 to 2 hours. Let rest for 45 minutes, then unwrap and slice. Serve with BBQ sauce on the side.
OKLAHOMA BRISKET
This is absolutely fabulous and so easy. Brisket that isn't dried out can be so good. The bar-b-que sauce is also wonderful and can be used for other meat dishes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Season the brisket all over with seasoned salt, and place in a roasting pan. Pour the apple juice over it, and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Roast the brisket for 3 hours in the preheated oven. Don't peek.
- Prepare a grill for low heat. In a small bowl, stir together the honey and soy sauce, and season with seasoned salt.
- When the roast comes out of the oven, place it on the preheated grill. Grill for 30 minutes, turning frequently and basting with the honey sauce.
- Meanwhile, in a saucepan over low heat, make a barbeque sauce by combining the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, cider vinegar, seasoned salt, and garlic powder. Cook and stir over low heat for 15 minutes without allowing the sauce to boil. If you boil the sauce, it becomes very vinegary.
- Let the brisket rest for about 10 minutes after it comes off the grill. Slice and serve with the barbeque sauce.

OKLAHOMA JOE'S SMOKED BRISKET FLAT
This brisket rub and method makes a wonderful, juicy, brisket. I make this using my smoker-it has the directions for cooking it in a grill as well but I've never tried it this way. I always use about a 5 pound brisket when I make this. My brisket is usually done in about 6 hours. Be sure to use an instant read thermometer. I insert one in the thick part of the brisket when I feel it's getting close to being done and I just leave it in the meat till the desired temperature is reached. Instead of apple juice I mix 3/4 cup vegetable oil and 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar-it works just as well. I also put the rub on the night before, wrap it real good in plastic wrap and then with foil and leave it in the fridge all night. Since I do this in the smoker, I soak enough chips to fill up my wood box as opposed to the 4 cups you will need for the grill. You don't have to change the wood chips as the meat will only take on so much smoke. If your using a smoker just check the water pan everytime you open the smoker to baste. I got this from the foodnetwork website. Be sure to let this rest after cooking-it's a very important step. You won't be disappointed. I also prepare Neely's BBQ sauce for this and it's delicious!

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Brisket is a large, tough cut of meat that is perfect for slow cooking. Look for a brisket that is at least 10 pounds, and make sure it has a good layer of fat on top.
- Trim the brisket: Before you cook the brisket, trim off any excess fat. This will help the brisket cook more evenly and will prevent it from becoming too greasy.
- Season the brisket: Season the brisket with a rub of your choice. A simple rub made with salt, pepper, and garlic powder is a good starting point. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder, cumin, or paprika.
- Smoke the brisket: Smoke the brisket at a low temperature (225 degrees Fahrenheit) for several hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will give the brisket a smoky flavor and a tender texture.
- Wrap the brisket: Once the brisket has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, wrap it in aluminum foil and continue to cook it until the internal temperature reaches 200 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help the brisket to become even more tender.
- Let the brisket rest: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it even more flavorful.
Conclusion:
Brisket is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced cook, there is a brisket recipe out there that is perfect for you. With a little time and effort, you can create a mouthwatering brisket that will be the star of your next meal.
