Sliced smoked brisket with dark bark and a pink smoke ring

Ranch Recipe

Low and Slow Smoked Brisket

Serves 10 to 12, 12 to 14 hours

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Beef Navel, 12 to 14 lbs
  • 1/2 cup coarse black pepper
  • 1/2 cup coarse salt
  • 2 tbsp granulated garlic
  • Oak or post oak splits

Method

  1. Trim the fat cap down to about 1/4 inch and square up the edges.
  2. Mix the pepper, salt and garlic, then coat every side heavy.
  3. Run the smoker at 250 degrees. Fat side up, point end toward the heat.
  4. Smoke until the bark is set and dark, usually 6 to 8 hours and around 165 degrees.
  5. Wrap it tight in butcher paper and put it back on.
  6. Pull it when a probe slides in like warm butter, usually around 203 degrees.
  7. Rest it wrapped in a dry cooler for at least 2 hours. Longer is better.
  8. Slice against the grain, about pencil thick.

Ranch tip: Cook to feel, not to the clock. Two briskets the same weight can finish hours apart.
