1

Prep the Brisket

Start by seasoning a 3-pound brisket with a generous amount of salt, pepper, and your favorite BBQ rub. Massage the seasoning into the meat to make it feel special. Let the brisket sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soak in all the flavor.

2

Fire up the Smoker

While the brisket is getting cozy with the seasoning, fire up your smoker to a steady temperature of 250°F (120°C). If you don't have a smoker, don't despair! You can use an oven on low heat with a tray of water to create a smoky environment.

3

Smoking Time

Once the smoker is ready, place the seasoned brisket on the grates and let the magic happen. For a perfect smoky flavor, smoke the brisket for about 6-8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 203°F (95°C). This is the moment where patience pays off!

4

Rest and Shred

After a long and flavorful journey in the smoker, your brisket needs some relaxation time. Remove it from the smoker and let it rest on a cutting board for about 30 minutes. This time will allow the meat fibers to relax, making it easier to pull or slice.

5

Assemble the Bun

Now comes the fun part! Grab a soft bun of your choice and slice it open. Layer on some mouthwatering slices of juicy smoked brisket. Feel free to drizzle on your favorite BBQ sauce or add some tangy pickles or crunchy coleslaw. The choice is yours, so get creative!
