Smoked Brisket

Ingredients:

• Wood chips
• ¼ cup paprika
• ¼ cup white sugar
• ¼ cup ground cumin
• ¼ cup cayenne pepper
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup chili powder
• ¼ cup garlic powder
• ¼ cup onion powder
• ¼ cup kosher salt
• ¼ cup freshly cracked black pepper
• 10 pounds beef brisket, or more to taste

Instructions:

Step 1: Begin by soaking wood chips in a bowl of water for 8 hours to overnight. This will prepare them for smoking.

Step 2: Soak wood chips in a bowl of water for 8 hours to overnight. This will ensure they are fully saturated and ready for smoking.

Step 3: Preheat your smoker to a temperature between 220 degrees F (104 degrees C) and 230 degrees F (110 degrees C). Once the smoker is preheated, drain the soaked wood chips and place them inside.

Step 4: Smoke the beef brisket in the preheated smoker until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). This usually takes about 12 and a half hours. Once it reaches this temperature, tightly wrap the brisket in butcher paper or heavy-duty aluminum foil and return it to the smoker.

Step 5: Continue smoking the wrapped brisket until it reaches an internal temperature of 185 degrees F (85 degrees C). This final step typically takes about an additional hour.
