Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 10 hours

Ingredients:

• 8-10 pound untrimmed brisket
• 1/2 cup chili rub
• wood chips (oak, fruit wood, hickory)

Preparation:

Preheat smoker and add wood chips (follow your instruction manual). Clean and dry the brisket. Apply chili rub. Place brisket in smoker for 8-10 hours. Keep the smoker temperature at about 220 degrees F. To increase tenderness, take the brisket out of the smoker, wrap in aluminum foil and place in oven at 180-200 degrees for the last two hours. Typically after 8-10 hours a piece of meat will have absorbed as much smoke as it can and additional smoking may impart a bitter flavor.
