grilled brisket
Prepping the brisket. Start with a brisket in the 10- to 12-pound range, which is just the right size to fit on the grill. Trim off the excess top fat or âfat cap,â but leave a Â¼-thick layer of fat to keep the meat moist during the long cooking process. Sprinkle on a few tablespoons of rub, spreading it evenly on both sides of the brisket.
Smoking the brisket. Place the brisket fat side up on the top rack, cover with the lid and bring the temperature up to 225Â°F, using the vents to regulate the temperature. Knowing the temp in your grill is crucial, so if your grill doesnât have a temperature gauge, purchase a digital BBQ thermometer.
