Ingredients

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • 6 lb brisket
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Prepare the rub by mixing all of the spices together. Rub over the entire surface of the brisket.
  • Cover and let cure for at least 24 hours.
  • Smoke at 250ºF for 6-8 hours or until the internal temperature is 205ºF.
  • Let cool for 1-2 hours before serving.

Notes

Top recipe tips

  • If you are wrapping the brisket after applying the rub, make sure that you have a baking sheet or a towel under it. The salt draws out a lot of moisture and you will have small leaks.
  • Remember to rinse the meat before smoking. There is a lot of extra salt that sits on the surface during the curing process and it will make the final smoked brisket too salty if you leave it on.
