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.
