Preparation

Step 1

Instructions

Trim the fat off the brisket down to a ¼ inch

Combine the rub ingredients and coat the outside of the brisket

Wrap in plastic wrap or foil and put in the fridge overnight

Remove from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature for an hour

Combine the ingredients for the mop sauce

Prepare the grill for low and slow grilling between 200-225

Place a drip pan with cheap red wine under the brisket and smoke wood on the coals

Put the rubbed brisket over the drip pan and close the lid

For mopping, always let a crust develop before mopping or you will wash all the rub off. Start mopping about 2 hours into cooking, then when the meat reaches 180 degrees.

Remove from the grill when the brisket reaches 200 degrees and wrap in foil

Place the foil wrapped brisket in a microwave, unlit oven or empty cooler for at least an hour and up to four hours

Slice across the grain and serve
