How To Make texas style smoked brisket with moppin' sauce

  • Step 1
    Combine all ingredients for the rub and rub all over your brisket wrap in foil and let sit overnight.
  • Step 2
    Combine all ingredients of the moppin sauce together and mix well.
  • Step 3
    Bring your smoker up to 220. I used hickory chips, but you can use mesquite, white birch, or apple wood.
  • Step 4
    Place brisket in smoker fat side up. Smoke 1 hour per pound using the moppin' sauce every half hour. Or until internal temperature reads 190 to 200 degrees.
  • Step 5
    I used a vertical water smoker if you don't use one with water wrap it in foil after 4 or 5 hours so that it stays moist.
  • Step 6
    Serve with baked potato and veggies and enjoy!
