Brisket

The brisket primal is sourced from the lower chest area, specifically the pectoral muscles of beef cattle. Known to be more tough due to the heavy use of the muscles, when cooked properly, it is extremely flavorful. Briskets are comprised of two main sections: the "point" (superficial pectoral muscle) and the "flat" (deep pectoral muscle). The "deckle" is the hard fat and intercostal meat on the inside surface of the brisket; however, some refer to the point as a deckle.

FAQ

Everything you need to know before your first bite.

Find answers to our customers' most commonly asked questions.

What temp is brisket done?

Determining when your brisket is done is a bit of art and science. The brisket temperature is a good guide, but the feel of the brisket is the final factor to decide when it is ready to come off the grill. Just as we wrapped on color, we are looking for the perfect time to “pull on feel.” The temperature range for this can vary but is approximately 198°F to 206°F. Learn how to smoke a brisket perfectly.

When to wrap a brisket

While an instant-read thermometer is key to any cook, we are also looking for the perfect color and follow the “wrap on color” technique. As soon as the exterior bark is deep rich mahogany (dark reddish/brown) color and the internal temperature starts to climb out of the stall, it’s time to wrap. Learn how to smoke a brisket perfectly here.

How to smoke a brisket

Heat smoker to 300°F. Place brisket in smoker, fat side down, and cook for 2 to 2.5 hours, misting with spray bottle of water, beef broth or apple juice, every 30 minutes. This adds moisture to the brisket and helps form the perfect bark.

Use aluminum foil or uncoated butcher paper to wrap your brisket. Paper is porous and allows some steam to escape but traps most of the rendered fat and juices. Remember we are looking for the perfect color and are following the “wrap on color” technique. As soon as the exterior bark is deep rich mahogany (dark reddish/brown) color, it’s time to wrap. Use two lengths of paper about 2½ feet long. Overlap them, place the brisket in the center and wrap all sides to make a neat package.

Place the wrapped brisket back on to the grill. After 2 hours, begin to check the brisket for doneness. Remember temperature is a good guide, but the feel of the brisket is the final factor to decide when it is ready to come off the grill. Just as we wrapped on color, we are looking for the perfect time to “pull on feel.” The temperature range for this can vary but is approximately 205°F to 210°F.
