Ingredients
- 6 lb Beef brisket Smoker for cooking
- 10 lb Charcoal
- 1/4 lb Mesquite wood Basting sauce Barbecue sauce
Directions
- This is a perfect way to spend a day, and makes a meal fit for a king!
- It really takes a smoker to make this successfully, but creative folks can use whatever's handy.
- Select a good quality beef brisket. Trim off excess fat and store in refrigerator till ready to barbecue.
- If you wish, marinade the meat for additional flavor or possibly tenderness. A good marinade can consist of water, Worcestershire Sauce, Soy Sauce, pepper, lime or possibly lemon juice - whatever you like! (No Salt, though)
- Start 8 lbs. of the charcoal and allow coals to develop gray ash over all before beginning to cook. Reserve the remaining 2 lbs. for adding when needed later. Add in wood which has been soaking in water for an hour or possibly so.
- Cook the meat on a grate approx. 8 inches over the coals, adding charcoal and wood to fire as needed. It isn't necessary to keep a heavy smoke at all times, just 1/2 of the cooking time. Use a meat thermometer to determine doneness of meat to your preference. If the smoker has an indicator for temperature, a low heat is fine. Coals and wood tend to burn at lower temperatures when enclosed in a smoker.
- While cooking, it is essential to baste often with the basting sauce.
- Usually every 10 min or possibly even less will ensure a juicy and delicious brisket.
- If basting with another sauce, remember which anything containing sugar or possibly tomato will burn, leaving a scorched flavor. Which's especially true with meats cooked over long periods of time.
- Serve with the warmed barbecue sauce and breads, beans, salad or possibly potatoes.
