Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 5 pound Brisket
  • 1/2 cup beef stock
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup black pepper
  • 2 tbsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. If you selected a whole brisket, remove the point from the top flat portion and keep the flat. 
  2. Season the point with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, put in the aluminum pan, seal, and keep in the refrigerator overnight. 
  3. Allow the brisket to rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Heat the smoker to 250°F and place the brisket into the smoker. After 2 hours, spritz your brisket with clean water every 45-60 minutes if it seems dry (you can also opt to use apple cider vinegar). 
  5. Smoke the brisket until the internal temperature of the meat reads 165°F. 
  6. Wrap the brisket in aluminum foil along with the beef stock and return to the smoker until it registers an internal temp of 195°F. 
  7. Take the brisket off the smoker and remove the foil.
  8. Slice your brisket into cubes, toss with BBQ sauce and brown sugar, and return it to the smoker in a clean aluminum pan.
  9. Smoke uncovered for an additional 60 minutes until its internal temperature reads 205°F.
