Directions
The Beefiest, Juiciest Brisket What Am! the Smokyokie Method,This is actually more of a cooking method than a recipe. If all steps are followed, you will not have any problem with any of the assertions in the name. You will get melt in your mouth brisket that is so juicy that it won’t hardly accept any BBQ sauce, but the flavor will be so good that you probably won’t want any. If you want burnt ends, you can certainly make them, but it’s doubtful that you will want to. You will need a hot charcoal fire, extra long handled tongs, a smoker large enough to accomodate the meat, a large H.D. foil pan large enough to accomodate the brisket, 8-12 hours, smoking wood (We prefer hickory or mesquite), your favorite BBQ rub.,Wait a sec…. 200degF internal temperature? Is this even edible for a mere mortal without teeth made of vibranium?,If you sear first, how is the smoke penetration? Also, why use 1) tin pan and 2) cover with foil and continue smoking after a few hours?

Select the Best Brisket by Wiggling the Brisket Back and Forth@ the Middle of the Point End. This Will Tell You How Fatty the Point Cut Is, and How Much Fat Layer There Is Between the Point and Flat Cut. the Easier It Wiggles, the Better. Buy the Cheapest Grade You Can Get. We Want as Little Marbling as Possible. Be Sure You Have a Whole "packer Trim" Brisket, and not a Flat Cut or Point Cut. 12-13# Is Optimum For This Application. |

When Smoker Is Up to Temp(250*-275*) Sear Brisket Thoroughly on All Sides and Ends as Well. We're Talking So Black That It Looks Like It's Ruined, but Don't Worry, It's Not. While It's Ok to Pierce the Meat With a Fork 2 This Point, It's Preferable not To. You May Need Help Turning It W/ Tongs. |

Once Seared, Place Brisket in Foil Pan, Fat Side Up, and Smoke, Uncovered For 2 Hours. |

Flip Brisket and Smoke For 1 Hour. at This Point, the Juices Inside Are Under a Fair Amount of Pressure. It Is Important not to Pierce the Meat from This Point Until It Is Done. |

Continue to Smoke Until Internal Temperature of 200* Is Obtained. There Will Come a Point Where the Temp Won't Go Up No Matter What You Do. This Is Normal. Resist the Temptation to Kick Up the Temp in Your Smoker. Time Remaining to Achieve 200* Should Be 5-9 Hours. the Reason For Such a Large Variable Is That Smoker Temps Are not Precise, and Amount of "open Time" Will Vary from Cook to Cook. |

When 200* Is Obtained, Remove from Smoker, and Allow to Cool Until It Is Safe to Handle, Then Carefully Lift Brisket Out and Remove to a Cutting Board, and Tent W/ Foil. a Long Spatula, or Some Other Long Support Will Be Helpful, Because It Will Probably Try to Break Up on You. Run Pan Juices Through a Grease Separator, and Freeze Smoky Grease in Ice Cube Trays For Baked Bean Seasoning (folks That've Never Had Beans That Way Will Be in Awe). Reserve Pan Juice to Serve Over Brisket. |
