If you’ve wondered how to smoke a brisket on a pellet grill we are sharing 21 Easy Smoked Brisket Recipes to make your mouth water!
Beef Brisket is a notoriously tough cut of meat so it can be tricky to know how long to cook a 12-pound brisket to get a juicy result.
You can get a perfect brisket with any type of smoker, and the cooking process is easier than you think. You can’t beat the rich smoke flavor and juicy end result you get from a long cook in pellet smoker.
Tips for Getting The Perfect Smoked Brisket
The key to smoking a juicy brisket is a low and slow cooking time. While the smoking process takes a long time, it is the secret to turning a tough cut of meat into a delicious brisket. Here are some tips to help:
- Prep your meat by seasoning with a dry rub (like garlic powder, brown sugar, or onion powder etc.) Or use a wet sauce (think apple juice, beef broth, or apple cider vinegar), whatever your personal preference is! This will not just flavor the meat, but will harden and create a great bark (highly flavorful) as it cooks. These recipes will have lots of ideas for you.
- You may also want to trim off the silver skin (a thin membrane of connective tissue that gets tough and chewy when cooked).
- Make sure the fat cap (or the fat side) of the brisket is facing up so the juices will drip down through the meat. For best results you may want to trim the excess fat to 1/4″ thickness.
- Prepare the temperature of your smoker to reach between 250˚F and 275˚F. Follow the directions in each recipe and also the instructions for your smoker.
- Smoke at a lower temperature of 250˚ degrees fahrenheit. A general rule of thumb is to allow one hour of cooking time per pound of meat. So for a 10 LB brisket expect it to cook for about 10 hours. If you’re working with a larger brisket be prepared for how much time the whole brisket will take to cook.
- You may want to wrap your brisket in aluminum foil about half way through cooking to preserve moisture.
- Always let your brisket rest for at least 15 minutes before cutting into it. This is the best way to ensure the juiciest, best brisket you’ll have!
