1 tablespoon dry mustard
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons chili powder
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat charcoal smoker for half an hour. Soak the hickory chips for half an hour in water. Drain.
  • Trim fat on brisket to 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle brisket generously with the dry rub. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate overnight.
  • Remove the brisket from refrigerator 1 hour prior to cooking and let stand at room temperature. Mop the entire brisket with Mustard Sauce. Place brisket fat side up in a smoker at a preheated temperature of 200 to 225 degrees F. Add 3 handfuls of pre-soaked hickory chips to preheated charcoal (should be at the gray stage). After 3 hours, add another 3 handfuls of chips and mop with Beer Based Mop Sauce.
  • After 2 more hours, place brisket on 2 pieces of heavy-duty foil and pour 1/4 cup Beer Based Mop Sauce on top of brisket and seal tightly. Continue to cook in smoker another 2 to 4 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 185 degrees F.
  • Remove brisket from foil and let stand 15 minutes. Slice brisket against the grain into 1/4-inch thickness. Top with Brisket BBQ Sauce.
  • Mix all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Mix all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • In a medium to large saucepan, saute the onions in the butter over medium heat until soft. Add remaining ingredients. Bring mixture to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right brisket: Select a brisket that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during the long cooking process.
  • Trim the brisket: Remove any excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer of fat on top to help baste the meat as it cooks.
  • Season the brisket: Generously season the brisket with a rub made from your favorite spices. A simple rub of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is a good place to start.
  • Smoke the brisket: Set up your smoker to cook at a temperature between 225°F and 250°F. Place the brisket on the smoker and cook it for 8-12 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 200°F.
  • Wrap the brisket: Once the brisket has reached an internal temperature of 165°F, wrap it tightly in foil. This will help the brisket to cook evenly and retain its moisture.
  • Rest the brisket: Once the brisket has reached an internal temperature of 200°F, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Smoked BBQ brisket is a delicious and classic dish that is perfect for any special occasion. By following these tips, you can make a perfect brisket that will impress your friends and family. So fire up your smoker and get started!
