Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole brisket recipe based on a 16 lb. brisket
  • 2 cups high-quality beef stock
  • Pit Boss Lonestar Beef Brisket Rub

Instructions
 

  • Set your Pit Boss Grill to 250°F and allow it to heat up. Place a foil pan filled halfway with water on the bottom level of the grill to help maintain moisture.
  • Remove hard fats from the brisket-these won’t render down during cooking. Leave about ¼ inch of fat on top to help keep the meat juicy.
  • Use a marinade injector to evenly distribute beef stock throughout the brisket. Coat the entire brisket liberally with Pit Boss Lonestar Brisket Rub for maximum flavor.
  • Place the brisket on the second level of your grill (you may need to remove the top rack). Smoke until the brisket reaches “the stall”-this happens between 160-180°F, where the internal temperature stops rising for several hours. Don’t panic! This is a normal process when smoking large cuts of meat.
  • Once you’ve passed the stall, remove the brisket and wrap it in butcher’s paper. Return it to the smoker and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 202°F.
  • Remove the brisket from the smoker and place it in a Styrofoam cooler to rest for 4 hours. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat tender and flavorful.
  • Unwrap the brisket and separate the flat from the point. Slice diagonally across the grain to prevent chewy, tough bites. Serve with your favorite BBQ sides and enjoy!
