HOW TO EASILY SMOKE A BRISKET

Have you ever cooked a brisket and it ended up hard, dry and tasting like roast? Here's a simple recipe to get you eating a Texas favorite and sharing it with friends. 

Cook on smoker for one hour per pound (example: a 5lb brisket cooks for 5 hours). Foil brisket, place in a disposable aluminum pan and cook until internal temperature is 195(a 5lb brisket is approximately 1 hour). Let rest for 20 minutes. Slice brisket against the grain with an electric knife. Save juice and pour back on brisket.

*To use a grill, add wood chips to a large disposable aluminum pan of water and set to one side of grate. Place the brisket as far away from the heat source as possible. If able, turn off a burner and place brisket there.

This recipe does not use any seasonings but if you have a favorite, rub it on.
