Ingredients

  • 12 - 14 Lbs Brisket
  • 1/3 cup of Coarse Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 tbsp Onion Power
  • 6 tbsp Meat Church Holy Cow
  • 4 tbsp Meat Church Holy Gospel

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch on the fat cap.
  2. In a bowl, mix coarse black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Meat Church Holy Cow, and Meat Church Holy Gospel to create the rub.
  3. Generously coat the brisket with the rub, ensuring an even distribution on all sides, including the edges.
  4. Place the seasoned brisket in the fridge for 12 - 24 hours.
  5. Preheat the smoker on the smoker to 200 °F.
  6. Place the brisket, fat side up, on the smoker the evening before your planned dinner. (Pro tip - spritz your brisket ever 45 minutes while you are awake to build a better bark.)
  7. The following morning your brisket should be between 165°F - 175°F. If you are happy with the bark, wrap your brisket in butcher paper.
  8. Raise the temp of your smoker to 275°F and continue smoking until the internal temperature reaches 198-202°F.
  9. Remove the brisket from the smoker, wrap it in towels, and let it rest for at least 2 hours before slicing.
