Ingredients

8 to 9 pounds beef brisket, choice grade
Trim Tabb's Pig Powder, or your favorite BBQ dry rub
Wood Chick's Mustard Sauce, recipe follows
Wood Chick's Beer Based Mop Sauce, recipe follows

Directions

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.

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 tablespoon BBQ dry rub

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Mix all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

Wood Chick's Brisket BBQ Sauce:

1/2 cup finely chopped onions

2 tablespoons butter

1 cup tomato sauce

1 cup ketchup

1/3 cup chili sauce

3/4 cup dark brown sugar

1/2 cup honey

1 teaspoon allspice

1 tablespoon dry mustard

2 teaspoons ground black pepper

2 teaspoons chili powder

3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Absolutely Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the first time I've done a brisket on my smoker, and it turned out amazing! We had a couple of neighbors come over... and when I cut into it, we all grabbed a piece. My one neighbor said, "You could open a restaurant with this stuff!" They asked to take some home when they left, too! Great recipe, and I can't wait to do it again!Read more

A keeper!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Used a different BBQ sauce that I made from scratch since I already had it on hand, but even without it the brisket was... delicious! The mustard and mop sauce, combined with the smoke worked wonderfully well together. I even used the leftover drippings (after removing some of the fat) from the foil the brisket was wrapped in to season my collard greens, best pot liquor I've had! Still have to try the Wood Chick BBQ sauce, but this is a keeper.Read more

Died and gone to heaven!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I fixed this up last week and the brisket came out scrumptious. Easy to prepare with a mountain of flavor. I just got done... doing a couple of pork butts with the same recipe with identical results. This one is definitely a keeper.Read more

Best Brisket ever...bar none.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

As we all know, brisket is a hard piece of meat to cook to perfection. This is the best recipe ever...easy, yet complex... flavor. All ingredients go together well. Hat's off to ya Chick. This brisket is tender, tasty and a hit with everyone. Living in Kansas City (the home of BBQ), we get all kinds of brisket....never had one this good. Thanks for sharing ChickRead more
