Pit Boss Pellet Grill Brisket Recipe
Smoking a brisket on a Pit Boss pellet grill is one of the best ways to achieve that perfect balance of tenderness, flavor, and a beautiful smoke ring. Over the years, I’ve smoked my fair share of Pit Boss Smoked Brisket, and let me tell you-using a Pit Boss takes the guesswork out of the process!
Ingredients
- 10 lb. Brisket
- Pit Boss All-Purpose GSP BBQ Rub
Instructions
- Set your Pit Boss pellet grill to 225°F. This low-and-slow temperature is key to getting that perfect smoke flavor and tender brisket.
- While the grill is preheating, trim any excess fat off the brisket. A sharp knife will help you remove the thick fat cap while leaving just enough for moisture. Generously season all sides with Pit Boss GSP BBQ Rub for a perfect crust.
- Place the brisket on the center grate of your Pit Boss smoker. Close the lid and let it smoke until it reaches an internal temperature of 150-160°F-this should take about 3-5 hours. During this time, the brisket develops a bark and that classic smoke ring.
- Once the brisket reaches 150-160°F, wrap it tightly in butcher paper, aluminum foil, or place it in a full-size aluminum pan and cover it. This helps lock in moisture and push the brisket through the “stall.” Continue smoking for another 3-4 hours until the internal temperature reaches 192°F.
- Remove the brisket from the smoker and wrap it in a towel. Place it inside a cooler and let it rest for at least 2 hours before slicing. This step allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat even more tender.
- Once rested, slice the brisket against the grain and serve with onions and pickles. Enjoy the smoky, juicy perfection!
