Ingredients

• 9-11 lb Prime Grade Whole Packer Brisket
• Kosmos Q Texas Beef Rub ( https://amzn.to/3T6qHow )
• Apple Cider
• Apple Vinegar
• 1 Stick unsalted butter
• 8 oz Apple Juice

Instructions

1. Get Your Brisket Prepped - Start by drying the brisket with paper towels. Trim away the excess and hard fat to achieve a uniform thickness, being careful not to cut deeper than 1/4 inch.
2. Seasoning the Star - Season liberally with Kosmos Q Texas Beef, followed by a lighter application of coarse black pepper, ensuring an even coat.
3. Smoker Setup - Allow the brisket to reach room temperature. Meanwhile, heat your smoker to 225 F (107.2 C).
4. Moisture Magic - Prepare a spritz of half apple juice and half apple cider vinegar. Spritz hourly to maintain moisture.
5. The Wrap Technique - Once the internal temp hits 155-160 F (68.3-71.1 C), wrap the brisket tightly in foil, ensuring no leaks, and return it to the smoker at a raised temperature of 250 F (121.1 C).
6. Finishing Touches - Continue cooking until the brisket probes like butter. After removing it from the smoker, rest it in an unheated oven on a pan for 2-4 hours.
7. Slicing for Success - Slice against the grain for the best texture and flavor.
