Smoker

Introduction

Smoking meat is a labor of love, taking hours of preparation and patience to achieve that perfect balance of smoky flavor and tender texture. In this article, we’ll dive into one of the most popular meat smoking techniques: smoking a brisket. We’ll explore a video that shows how to smoke a pepper garlic brisket on the Lone Star Grillz offset smoker along with bacon chipotle beans.

Getting Started

To begin, we need to gather our ingredients and equipment. For the brisket rub seasoning, we’ll need granulated garlic, ground black pepper, Kosher salt, paprika, celery salt, chili powder, and brown sugar. The brown sugar rub was provided by Michael at Heaven Made Products, and you can use the code CWR10 for a 10% discount on their website.

Preparing the Brisket

The video shows a quick trim of the brisket, removing excess fat from the meat’s surface. It’s recommended to trim any parts of the brisket that are over 1/4 inch thick and any areas that have too much fat or silver skin, resulting in uneven cooking. Trim the fat and separate it from the meat to grind up as burgers at a later time.

For trimming techniques, the Smokin’ Joe’s Pit BBQ channel, and Aim’em and Claim’em Smokers channel are highly recommended. Once the brisket is trimmed, it’s time to apply the rub seasoning generously. Ensure it is well distributed on all sides of the meat.

Smoking the Brisket

With the smoker set to a temperature of 225°F, it’s time to place the brisket on the grates. Remember to place the meat fat side up, allowing the fat to protect the meat as it cooks. The brisket will take approximately 12 hours to cook fully, depending on the smoker’s temperature and the size of the brisket.

Ensure the meat reaches an internal temperature of 200°F, using a meat thermometer and allowing for at least a 30-minute rest period before slicing.

Making Bacon Chipotle Beans

While the brisket is cooking, we can make the bacon chipotle beans. To form the base, cook a pound of bacon in a pan until crispy. Remove the bacon and sauté onions, garlic, and jalapenos in the bacon grease. Add chipotle peppers, canned pinto beans, tomatoes, and beer to the mix. Simmer for a couple of hours, stirring occasionally.

Conclusion

Smoking a brisket is a great way to provide a delicious meal for your loved ones. With the right technique and seasoning, you can create a mouth-watering dish. Remember to be patient, ensure that the internal temperature is reached, and use excellent quality meat.
