Ingredients

1 1/2 cups paprika
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons onion powder
3 tablespoons garlic salt
1 tablespoons celery salt
1 tablespoons black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon pepper
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 trimmed brisket, about 5 to 6 pounds

Directions

In a bowl combine all the dry ingredients and blend well.

Trim the brisket, leaving about 1/4-inch of fat. Season the brisket with about 1/4-cup of the rub. *Cook's Note: You don't want such a thick crust that the smoke won't penetrate the meat. Let the brisket marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

Preheat your grill to 250 degrees F using charcoal and hickory.

Using indirect heat, cook the brisket for 3 1/2 hours and flip. Cook another 3 1/2 hours, cooking for a total of 7 hours. (About 1 1/2 hours per pound.) The brisket should cook to an internal temperature of 185 degrees F.

Rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board before slicing. Slice brisket against the grain.

Excellent flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

my husband smoked this brisket on our stove top smoker since we are in the winter season. He smoked it for 1 hour and... finished it in our nesco slow cooker for 12 hours on low heat. He used in the nesco aprox 1 cup of apple cider to incorporate a nice apple under tone. and keep it moist. We liked this receipe Thank youRead more
