smoked brisket
I got into smoking meat a couple of years ago, and just love it! Due to my disabilities, I have not been able to cook much, but the last few days I have gotten back into it slowly. I bought a new Cajun Injector Electric Smoker to make things easier for me. This Brisket was to die for! Delicious, juicy, moist, and as tender as it comes! Enjoy :)

How To Make smoked brisket
-
Step 1Get you're smoker going, heat to 225 degrees. Maintain this temp throughout entire time. Add wood chips. Place apple juice in water pan, fill it up and keep it full.

Step 2Rub Recipe Ingredients 1 Cup Dark Brown Sugar 1/2 Cup Paprika 2-1/2 TBS Course (Salad Grind) Black Pepper 1-1/2 tsp Chili Powder 1-1/2 TBS Garlic Powder 1-1/2 TBS Onion Powder 1 tsp Cayenne (Red Pepper) 2 TBS Kosher Salt

Step 3Mix dark brown sugar and paprika together in a large bowl. Be sure to get rid of any lumps.
-
Step 4Using a fork, mix in dry ingredients - one at a time at a time. Again, make sure to work out any lumps.
-
Step 5Wash the brisket, then lay it with fat side up. Score it on the diagonal.
-
Step 6Rub brisket with prepared yellow mustard, then coat the meat with the rub. Wait 10 minutes, then turn it over so the meaty side is up. Repeat the mustard/rub step.
