Equipment
- Pellet Grill - we used a Louisiana Founders Version
- Mesquite Pellets - or hickory, oat or pecan
- Cooler
- Towel - big enough to wrap around the brisket
Ingredients
- 4 Lb Beef Brisket
- 1 Oz Coffee BBQ Rub - or your favorite beef / grill rub
Instructions
Get the grill ready
- Put the pellet grill on “smoke” mode
- Let the fire catch
- Set the grill to 225° F
Get the meat ready
- Trim the excess fat off of the brisket (leave about 1/4” layer of fat)
- Season the brisket all the way around with your chosen rub
Get ready to grill
- Put the brisket on the grill fat side up
- Smoke for 6-8 hours (or untIl it reaches 190° internal temp.)
Let it rest
- Once the brisket reaches 190°, wrap it in pink butcher paper and then in a towel.
- Place the wrapped brisket in a cooler for as much as an hour for the juices to sit.
Notes
If your brisket “stalls” around the 150 degree mark, you can wrap the meat in pink butcher paper with a bit of beef broth and put it back on the heat to speed up the time it takes to get to the desired temperature. A stall can take up to 6 hours to correct itself if left alone.
