1 Food Prep
FIrst, make the wet rub by crushing the beef bouillon cubes and mixing them with the Worcestershire sauce. Cover the entire brisket with the wet rub.
- Next, mix the dry rub ingredients, and coat the brisket with the spices.
2 Grill Prep
- Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets. Add some Kingsford® BBQ Smoking Chunks for an extra smoky flavor. Be sure to soak the chips in water for at least 30 minutes before spreading them onto your coals.
- Method: The Charcoal Snake
- Temp: 225°F (Low Heat)
Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:
• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds
Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.
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.
3 The Cook
- Place the brisket on the grill using indirect heat (not directly over the fire) with the fat side up.
- Add the wood chips during the initial cooking process to increase smoke flavor.
Cook for 7–8 hours until the brisket’s internal temperature reaches 160°–170°F on a digital meat thermometer.
Double a large piece of aluminum foil and place brisket, fat side down, in the center. Boat the sides of the foil and pour 1 cup of water over the brisket.
Wrap the aluminum foil tightly, covering the entire brisket and place it in the cooker for an additional 2 hours.
When the brisket’s internal temperature reaches 185°F on a digital meat thermometer, it should be removed from the cooker.
Let the meat rest for 1–2 hours in the foil before unwrapping.
- Remove the brisket from the foil and slice across the grain of the meat. Save the au jus collected in the foil to drizzle over the sliced brisket and enjoy.
