3The Cook

    • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

    • Place the beef brisket on the void side of the grill and close the lid.

    • Cook for 4 hours until the internal temperature of the brisket reaches 160°F to 170°F.

    • Remove the brisket from the grill and place in a shallow baking dish or disposable aluminum pan.

    • Pour 1 cup of beef broth over the brisket and cover the pan with aluminum foil.

    • Place the baking dish in the cooker for an additional 1 to 2 hours, until the internal temperature of the brisket reaches 185°F.

    • Remove the baking dish from the grill and let the meat rest undisturbed for 20 to 30 minutes.

    • Slice the brisket across the grain and serve.
