how long to smoke an 8 lb brisket
The brisket I'm doing for the instructable here is only about 4 pounds. I usually do an 8 lb brisket and so it is on the smoker for at least 8 hours. Sugar will turn into an almost hard candy shell over your brisket.Pepper burns and turns bitter when you cook it that long.Put a light coat of yellow mustard Put the brisket on fat side up.ime to maintain your smoker at correct temperature for at least an hour per pound of brisket. Note: I should explain that in several of the pictures there is a brisket at the top of the frame, and 2 pork spareribs at the bottom of the frame.
