Todays article I am gong to write about a beef recipe and step away from the pork on this one.. Beef a lot of times takes longer to cook because the meat is denser or just in nature of the make up of the product takes longer. But great results can still be gotten with patience. First get your beef brisket ready. Coat the bbq brisket with a mustard and apply your rub and let set over night in the refrigerator, to let the flavor absorb in the meat to soak into the brisket thru the night. You can also soak your wood chips in a bowl of water. Letting them soak over night .They will smolder the next day while they are in the fire. It will produce a great deal of smoke to flavor the finished brisket.
The day of your cook get your fire started get your fire going about a half an hour or so before you put your product on to cook . Don’t be in a hurry .Take your time and it will be worth it once done. Look to have your bbq brisket on for about 12 hour’s maybe. Do not rush. A low temp and a long cook will result in the best result. Your temperature should be around 250 degrees. Maybe 275 but not any higher, so that the brisket would not dry out in the time it’s on the grill. You can also do what they call is mop your brisket once and hour with an apple juice. This will help to keep moisture on it while it cooks.
With a water pan and indirect heat you can still keep moisture in the chamber while cooking. I find this to be a good idea. And results have always turned out well. In the last hour or two I usually wrap the brisket up in foil to steam while it finishes up in the last two hours or so. I will add some water though not much .some liquid smoke. And maybe some juice if I had added it earlier in the cook of your bbq brisket.
Okay you’re up to your finished temperature of about 185. take your bbq brisket off the fire and let it set out in the foil about 30 minutes .This will allow your brisket to absorb the juices and moisture back into it for a flavorful dinner. Good luck with this cook . the brisket is sort of the grand daddy of cooking once you figure out how to get a good brisket on a consistent basis you are on your way to becoming a BBQ king !!
