Description

Beef brisket, cooked in a foil boat for a tender bottom that doesn’t dry out. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 beef packer brisket
  • Yellow mustard, about 3–4 Tbsp for binding
  • BBQ rub of your choice (we used S&P with some celery seed, paprika and garlic powder)
  • Foil

Instructions

  • Preheat your smoker to 250°F (121°C). If you’re not using a pellet smoker, use Billows to set and regulate the temperature. Add a chunk of your preferred smoking wood. 

Lighting up the charcoal

  • Trim your brisket to your liking. Rub the brisket with yellow mustard to establish a binder coat. 
  • Season the brisket liberally with the rub.

  • Place the brisket in the smoker, fat-side up. Insert a Signals probe into the flat and another into the point. Set the high-temp alarm on both channels to 165°F (74°C).

The alarms set for the first part of the cook

  • Smoke the brisket. If you’ve connected your Signals to your Wi-Fi, monitor its progress on the app or on the cloud
  • When the high-temp alarms sound, lay out a double layer of foil on a flat workspace. Transfer the brisket to the foil, keeping the fat side up, and scrunch it up all around the edge. 
  • Move the boat of brisket back to the smoker. Re-insert the probes and reset the probe high-temp alarms for 201°F (94°C). Close the lid and continue to smoke.

  • When the high-temp alarms sound several hours later, verify the doneness temperature and the tenderness using your Thermapen ONE

Tracking the cook on the app

  • Remove the brisket from the smoker and let it rest for at least a half hour. 
  • Slice it up and serve it!
