How to Perfectly Smoke Brisket on Your Weber Kettle Grill
Introduction
Who can resist the smoky aroma and tender texture of a perfectly smoked brisket? But, have you ever thought of smoking brisket on your Weber Kettle grill? Fret not! In this article, we will give you an overview of how to smoke brisket to perfection on your Weber Kettle grill using a slow n sear and a coffee cocoa rub.
Choosing the Right Brisket
The first step to smoking a perfect brisket is selecting the right one. Go for a 13 lb. USDA prime brisket, which you can get from your local meat market.
Preparing the Brisket
Once you have the brisket, it’s time to trim it. Remove thicker pieces of hard fat from the brisket, and trim the fat cap to expose more of the meat. This will allow the rub to penetrate the meat better.
Applying the Coffee Cocoa Rub
The Coffee Cocoa Rub is what will give your brisket a unique and delicious taste. The rub consists of brown sugar, ground coffee, cocoa powder, kosher salt, cracked black pepper, paprika, and chili powder. Apply the rub to the brisket without a binder, as there is enough moisture on the surface to hold it.
Smoking the Brisket
The next step is smoking the brisket. Arrange your Weber Kettle grill using the Slow n Sear to one side and a water pan on the other. Place the brisket on the grilling grate fat side down. Close the lid and let the meat smoke for around 12-14 hours, maintaining a temperature of 225-250°F.
Monitoring Temperature
In smoking brisket, temperature is key. For a perfect brisket, the internal temperature should reach around 203°F. Use a meat thermometer to monitor the temperature of the meat.
Resting the Brisket
Once you have achieved the desired temperature, remove the brisket from the grill and wrap it with butcher paper or foil. Let it rest for at least 1-2 hours to allow the juices to redistribute evenly throughout the meat.
Serving the Perfect Brisket
Now the moment of truth! Slice the brisket against the grain and serve it with your favorite barbecue sauce. Enjoy the smoky and tender flavors of your perfectly smoked brisket.
