Instructions

1. 01

   Trim fat from the separated pieces top ¼ inch or less. Slather meat with spicy brown mustard. 

2. 02

   Rub meat generously with the dry rub. Wrap and let rest for 8 to 12 hours.

   Set you Masterbuilt smoker to 230°F. Foil the water tray to make clean up easier. 

4. 04

   Add a mixture of hot water, beer and apple juice to the bath.

5. 05

   Keep adding small amounts of wood (oak or hickory work best with this cook) at a time until the meat hits an internal temperature of 140°F.

6. 07

   Smoke with your favorite woods. Oak and hickory work fantastic with this recipe.

7. 08

   After hour 2 of the smoke, start spritzing the meat with apple juice every two hours, until the meat hits 165°F. 

8. 09

   Foil the meat with one last spritz of apple juice.

9. 10

   Continue to cook until the internal temperature gets to 195°F.

    Average brisket time is 13 -15 hours with a few going longer. This is only an estimate because every brisket is different.

    Remove from your Masterbuilt smoker, wrap in towels and rest in an insulated container for a minimum of 30 minutes.

    Pro Tip: Cooking by temperature is the only way to cook brisket properly.
