How To make Jeff's Favorite Barbecue Brisket
6 lb Beef brisket
Smoker for cooking 10 lb Charcoal
1/4 lb Mesquite wood
Basting sauce Barbecue sauce This is a perfect way to spend a day, and makes a meal fit for a king! It really takes a smoker to make this successfully, but creative folks can use whatever's handy. Select a good quality beef brisket. Trim off excess fat and store in refrigerator until ready to barbecue. If you wish, marinade the meat for additional flavor or tenderness. A good marinade can consist of water, Worcestershire Sauce, Soy Sauce, pepper, lime or lemon juice - whatever you like! (No Salt, though) Start 8 lbs. of the charcoal and allow coals to develop gray ash over all before beginning to cook. Reserve the remaining 2 lbs. for adding when needed later. Add wood that has been soaking in water for an hour or so. Cook the meat on a grate approx. 8 inches over the coals, adding charcoal and wood to fire as needed. It isn't necessary to keep a heavy smoke at all times, just 1/2 of the cooking time. Use a meat thermometer to determine doneness of meat to your preference. If the smoker has an indicator for temperature, a low heat is fine. Coals and wood tend to burn at lower temperatures when enclosed in a smoker. While cooking, it is essential to baste often with the basting sauce. Usually every 10 minutes or even less will ensure a juicy and delicious brisket. If basting with another sauce, remember that anything containing sugar or tomato will burn, leaving a scorched flavor. That's especially true with meats cooked over long periods of time. Serve with the warmed barbecue sauce and breads, beans, salad or potatoes. Enjoy! Jeff Duke

Gas Grill setup for Smoking a Brisket
Here is the setup I used for cooking a whole brisket on my gas grill. It allowed me to get a great indirect cooking area. I used some fire bricks to elevate a second grill grate. Then I put an aluminum foil drip pan under it. This separated the flames from the food and prevented flare ups. If you have any other questions please ask, I'll do my best to answer them for you.

In todays video I am going to show you how to smoke a brisket, foil boat method! Foil boat brisket is something that I picked up from Brad at Chuds BBQ, and from the first time that I saw it in his videos I was intrigued by the texture of the bark that it produce. So I had to try this out for myself.
The brisket I used started around 15lb but after trimming it was probably closer to 12.5lb. I used a yellow mustard binder and seasoned it up with some homemade brisket.
Brisket Rub:
- 2 Parts Coarse Black Pepper
- 1/2 Part Lawrys Season Salt
- 1/2 Part Kosher Salt
- 1/2 Part Granulated Garlic
I used my Camp Chef Pellet Grill for the smoked foil boat brisket, which I ran consistently at 250F for the entire cook using the Knotty Wood Almond Pellets. I never needed to spritz as the surface of the of the brisket remained slightly moist the entire time. When I achieved that rich color and texture on the bark, I pulled it and wrapped it in 2 sheets of heavy duty wide foil and created the foilboat brisket. Returned it to the smoker until it was probe tender (probe feels like its going into butter) and for me that was at around 203F.
The key at this point is to rest your brisket, and since this finished up around 6:30am I wasn't even close to hungry! I let it cool down outside in the open air until it reached around 180-185F and then placed it in a foil pan (but still in the foil boat) uncovered in the over which I had set for 170F. I left it rest in there for the next 6 hours and let me tell you what.... my whole house was drooling as it smelled like brisket!
As you can see this tender brisket turned out phenomenal and was one JUICY brisket!
Now this isn't a wagyu beef tallow brisket, hot and fast brisket, Jeremy Yoder brisket, Smokin' Joes Pit BBQ brisket, Guga brisket, Chuds BBQ brisket, or an Ash Kickin BBQ brisket.... but this IS an overnight brisket using the foil boat method by yours truly... Anderson's Smoke Show
