In today’s video, I’m showing you my recipe for how you can nail your pellet grill smoked brisket EVERY TIME! Just by doing a few things! Now, this method is not just limited to pellet grills, I have had great success with my smoked brisket on a variety of cookers, but it seems as if a lot of beginners are starting out on pellet grills, and they often are intimidated, or struggle with smoking brisket. Never fear though, with this guide I run you through the time, the seasoning, the cook, the wrap, everything that you need to know to nail your smoked brisket again and again. Smoking brisket isn’t hard, and there’s no reason to be scared. So crack a cold one, and follow along. This a longer video, but I wanted to ensure I covered everything so someone who has never smoked a brisket before can absolutely NAIL it the very first time!

Full Recipe:
| Ingredients |
-A whole packer brisket
-Coarse black pepper
-Tailgaters BBQ Party Rub
| Instructions |
Prep:
1. Trim your brisket per the directions in the video.
2. Season your brisket liberally with coarse black pepper, and Tailgater’s BBQ Party Rub.
| Cooking |
1. Set your smoker for 300°F
2. Put your brisket on the smoker, and allow the brisket to smoke for 3-4 hours undisturbed.
3. After 3-4 hours, it’s time to check the bark. You want a deep, dark color, and most importantly you want your rub to be set. I often find that I’m wrapping after the evaporative cooling is close to being done, which is typically 170-180° F. But this can very, which is why it’s so important to go by color and looks instead of temps.
4. Once your brisket is ready to wrap, wrap it per the instructions on the video.
5. After the brisket has been wrapped for an hour, I usually insert a leave in style thermometer in the thickest center part of the flat, and I set an alarm for 210°F. This doesn’t mean the brisket will be done at this time, it’s just when I start checking for tenderness.
6. Once the brisket hits 210° F, it’s time to start checking for tenderness. The prove should glide into the meat like warm butter, and when you slowly pull the thermometer out, there should be no resistance or “grabbing” of the probe. This may take some time to get a feel for, but practice makes perfect when it comes to nailing your smoked briskets, and in my opinion, overcooked it better than undercooked when it comes to brisket.
7. Once your brisket is tender, remove the brisket from the smoker and let it rest open on the counter for 15 minutes. No more, no less. This allows the bark to reset itself from being in the wrap.
8. After the 15 minutes is up, wrap the brisket back up, and allow it rest for 1-2+ hours, or ideally down to 14-145° F.
9. After the brisket has rested, slice, eat, and enjoy!! Congrats, you just learned how to nail your smoked brisket every time!

Thanks for this video. Very informative. I just got me a RecTec RT-1250 and can't wait till I try your way. IS the smoke temperature (300 degress) you used, only works with LoneStar smokers, or is it general rule of Thumb for all smokers?
Wish my Pit Boss smoked like this
Need to learn how to cut! Let that fat be little boy! Come to ny and let daddy show you how to smoke meat!
Wow outstanding man
my wife likes the thin dry burnt ends that your chopping off. I like it too. But we do hate fat.
I cook a pretty good brisket on my Traeger but I spend about 4 hours at 180°F and below so I can have super smoke going and it makes for a long cook. Now I think I might have to get a Lonestar Grill Pellet Smoker. I wonder if there are any other brands out there that produce an adequate amount of smoke at 300°F.
What kind of temp prop was that. The exact one link?
What I hate is we end up shaving off three or more pounds of fat that you paid for so I wish they were trimmed before you bought them
I only cooked part of a brisket, but all the same rules applied. Came out perfect. Better than my last attempt! Thank you!
No injection? Great vid 👌
Great video! Pro tip! If you have a 2nd shelf place the Brisket on that if you do Fat Cap Up! I put a water pan on the bottom shelf and it acts as a 2nd diffuser.
Going to try the temp method on the new pit boss tomorrow. Preference is with b'paper. Trying to fine tune myself.
Thx for the videos
How long was the cook? I’ve never done it at high temps. Now I’m tempted to do this 😎🍻🤞🏽
thanks for the video i am just getting started to pellet grilling and smoking . i just bought a pit boss because it was on sale never used one because of the videos i have watched encouraged me . thanks to Ash Kickin i cant wait to grill and smoke . keep up with the videos im going to need them
Thanks for the video! I am definitely trying this one.
The 15 minute bark reset 🤔
GENIUS 🧐
Never ever heard that anywhere. You sir have yourself a subscriber. Thank you!
great presentation. Thank you. Where can I buy those black gloves? What are they called?
When you buy a brisket or bone in pulled pork how much pounds uncooked do you buy for your party size? I had a party with about 30 people and got a 18 lb briskey and 12lb pulled pork but it didnt seem like enough. I couldnt find anywhere where it says uncooked weight per person?
Hey bossman!! Happy Thanksgiving. Do you do fat up or down on this video? Thanks for the videos.
Going to be doing my second brisket ever for this Thanksgiving! Last one was way to salty and the bottom was overcooked. The fat cap down idea seems like it might be just what I need, Thanks so much for your excellent explanation !!!
Thanks for going through the trim process with so much depth. First video I've seen that went into a lot of details. Will definitely help people who are new in brisket cooking.
That knife doesn't match the one you linked.
I've been afraid to try a brisket, after watching your video, I think I'll give it a shot.
Wowzer you’re killing it
You should have taken those first few morsels of deliciousness for yourself. You know, as "cooks privilege". It looks fantastic.
Darren, I'm going to try this technique this weekend on my traeger, do you think 300 will be too high due to the heat source placement? Your videos are always the best, thanks for the amazing content.
Great info. by the way, what flavor pellets do you use?
Definitely the best way of doing brisket on the pellet smoker , so happy you done this video thank you sir. Phenomenal bark the best I have seen on the pallet smoker
Great video brotha, gonna try fat side down on my traeger, don’t think i can do 300 tho, prolly 225ish 😅
Is this considered hot and fast
isnt 210 a little too much? does it not over cook? ive cooked at 206 and it felt way over. nice video!
Followed your advice on not needing a binder and man I gotta say I was nervous at first but dude it worked perfectly, great video thank you will be back!
Just wanted to say thanks for this video. Done brisket twice using this method (first one was my first ever) and both turned out absolutely amazing!
Let's see the tallow process please. Thx
Looked absolutely amazing. The way you gently crushed the part you said you would use for tacos with your hand, holy smokes. Great job!
Can you mix wood chips in with the pellets on the lone star pellet smoker?
That knife!! That’s a surgical tool!
Where did you buy your trimmer knife for your brisket
Are these temps Fahrenheit?? Or Celsius ??
What type of pellet smoker is that?
Never done fat cap down on my pellet smoker, but definitely going to try the next time and even use the same rubs
Great content as always 🔥🔥🔥
My first one was a success thank you sir
It's a lot easier trimming aggressively when you know you're going to use the trimmings and it won't go to waste. Thanks for the video!
Nice work!
tallow video. yes. Dude you are the best smoker on youtube hands down, and no one gives more detail that us rookies need!!!!
