Classic Smoked Beef Brisket
This Smoked Beef Brisket Recipe will take time but the mouthwatering result is worth the wait.
Equipment
- Z Grills Pellet Smoker
- Z Grills Hickory Wood Pellets
Ingredients
- 1 whole beef brisket (12 to 13 pounds)
- 1/4 cup granulated garlic
- 1/4 cup sweet paprika
- 1/4 cup cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat your Z Grills pellet smoker to 225°F.
- Use a sharp knife to trim excess fat from the brisket (You may substitute brisket flat or point for whole brisket).
- In a small bowl, combine garlic, paprika, pepper, and salt. Sprinkle and press evenly into beef Brisket on all sides and edges.
- Place brisket on the grill. Smoke the brisket for 3 hours.
- After 3 hours, remove the brisket from the grill and wrap it in foil.
- Continue smoking the brisket until the internal temperature reaches 195°F for brisket that slices easily. This may take about another 8 hours. For brisket that can be shredded or chunked, smoke the brisket when the internal temperature reaches 205°F.
