Instructions

  1. 1

    Trim: Trim the brisket fat cap to about 1cm (1/4 in) thick.

  2. 2

    Rub: Coat all over with an even layer of the salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder.

  3. 3

    Smoke: Smoke at 110°C (225°F) over wood, fat-side up, until the bark sets and the internal temperature reaches about 75°C (165°F).

  4. 4

    Wrap: Wrap tightly in butcher paper to push through the "stall" and keep it moist.

  5. 5

    Finish: Continue smoking until the thickest part reaches 93-96°C (200-205°F) and probes like butter.

  6. 6

    Rest and Slice: Rest, wrapped, for at least 1 hour, then slice against the grain and serve with sauce on the side.
