Instructions

  1. Preheat the smoker to 194 to 205 degrees
  2. Trim the fat cap on the brisket to about 1/4 to 1/8 of an inch. Coat the brisket with a light coating of the yellow mustard. 
  3. Mix the sugar and spices together to form the dry rub. Spread the rub on both sides of the meat.
  4. Place the brisket in the smoker and cook until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 185 to 195 degrees F. This will take about 1 1/2 hours per pound. 
  5.  Remove the brisket from the smoker once it reaches this internal temp and let cool for 30 minutes. 

Enjoy!
