Ingredients (serves 10)

  • 5 pounds beef brisket
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper ; freshly ground
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce ; Use a good smoky tomato based one, try to avoid ones with corn syrup

  • Directions

    1. Make the rub by combining the cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper and garlic powder.
    2. Coat brisket on all sides. Press into the meat. Wrap well in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
    3. Next day, bring brisket up to room temp. Prepare smoker, use hickory, pear, apple woods or any combination of these. I lean heavily on hickory, I personally don't like mesquite but it's all a matter of taste.
    4. Prepare mop by combining the BBQ sauce, ketchup, bourbon, cider vinegar and hot pepper sauce.
    5. Brush brisket with mop. Smoke 4 hours. Turn briskets, brush again with mop. Smoke another 4 hours, 8-9 hours total. Slice thin against the grain.
