Ingredients:
- 1 whole beef brisket, about 10-12 pounds
- 1/4 cup of your favorite barbecue rub or seasoning
- Wood chips or chunks for smoking (hickory, mesquite, or oak are popular choices)
- Prepare your smoker according to manufacturer instructions and preheat it to 225-250°F (107-121°C).
- Trim any excess fat from the brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat on the surface.
- Season the brisket generously with the barbecue rub, massaging it into the meat on all sides.
- If using wood chips, soak them in water for about 30 minutes before adding them to the smoker. If using chunks, they can go directly onto the coals.
- Place the seasoned brisket on the smoker grate, fat side up, and close the lid.
- Maintain a steady temperature of 225-250°F (107-121°C) throughout the smoking process. This may require adjusting vents or adding more charcoal as needed.
- Smoke the brisket for about 1 hour per pound, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 195-205°F (90-96°C) in the thickest part of the meat.
- Once done, remove the brisket from the smoker and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving.
