Smoked Beef Brisket

5 lb Beef Brisket

Hickory smoking wood or briquettes

Brisket Marinade (see recipe below)

 

For Rub:

1 cup Gecko Gary's Sonoran Seasons

4 Tbsp. brown sugar

Marinate the beef overnight in an air tight container or zip lock bag.

Rub the beef with seasoning mixture 1 hour before cooking and let stand at room temperature. Place wood in water and allow to soak for 1 hour.

Using a smoker grill, build the fire with the wood and briquettes in the fire chamber. 

On the smoking side, put in the beef (fat side up) and close the lid.  Slow smoke for 6 hours. Max heat 175 to 200 degrees. Add wood and briquettes as needed

When fully smoked, bake in a covered  pan with a 1/4 cup chicken broth or water  for 4 hours at 325 - 350 degrees.  As an option, you can cover the  meat with some barbecue sauce the last half hour if you wish.

When done, serve sliced with a side of barbecue sauce.
