Directions
Set the brisket on a cutting board, and blot dry with paper towels.
Use a sharp knife to trim the brisket. Start trimming with the fat side down. Trim the silver skin from the flat side, then remove the sides and corners. Remove the fat from around the point. Turn the brisket over and trim any excess fat, leaving around ¼-inch fat thickness.
Transfer the brisket to a sheet tray, then season the brisket with your Brisket rub. Cover with plastic wrap and sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Fire up your Louisiana Grills® pellet grill and with the lid open, set your temperature to SMOKE mode.
Once the fire is lit, preheat to 250°F. If using a gas or charcoal grill, set it up for low, indirect heat.
Place the brisket to the grill, fat side down, and smoke until an internal temperature reading of 165°F. After the initial 2 hours of smoking, start spraying the brisket every 30 minutes to help retain moisture.
When an internal temperature of 165°F is achieved, wrap the brisket tightly in peach paper, then return to the grill and continue to smoke until the internal temperature reaches 195°F.
Remove the wrapped brisket from the grill and rest for 1 hour. Keep warm in an insulated cooler prior to slicing, if serving later.
