what temperature to smoke brisket
Checking the Temperature While Smoking. To achieve the best results, I cook the beef brisket at 225 degrees for about 1 hour and 15 minutes per pound. The time per pound is strictly a guide and cooking times wil actually vary.his can keep the outside of the brisket moist and tender. It is important to keep the lid closed while smoking the brisket to reduce heat loss and maintain a constant temperature, so when I use a mop, I baste the brisket about every 45 minutes to 1 hour.
