Instructions
Mix the spices
In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, kosher salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Pro tip: Ensure the brown sugar is free of lumps for a consistent rub.
Prepare the brisket
Trim any excess fat from the brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat for flavour.
Pro tip: Use a sharp knife for clean cuts and to avoid tearing the meat.
Apply the rub
Generously coat the entire brisket with the rub, pressing it into the meat to ensure it adheres well.
Pro tip: Let the brisket sit for at least an hour to allow the flavours to penetrate.
Preheat the grill
Preheat your grill to 225°F (107°C) for indirect cooking.
Pro tip: Maintain a consistent temperature for best results.
Cook the brisket
Place the brisket on the grill, fat side up, and cook for approximately 1 to 1.5 hours per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C).
Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature without cutting into the brisket.
Rest the brisket
Remove the brisket from the grill and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Pro tip: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat more tender.
Tips & Tricks
- Use fresh spices for the best flavour.
- Adjust spice levels to taste, especially cayenne.
- Let the brisket rest after applying rub for deeper flavour penetration.
