How to Smoke a Texas Smoked Brisket
Brisket is one of the hardest cuts to cook. In addition, cooking it low and slow is a task. Ted Reader takes a brisket flat, a very tough cut of meat and cooks it to perfecting. He prefers old school when preparing it and rubs the following ingredients into it:
Salt, chili flakes, brown sugar, pepper, garlic, and ancho chili powder. Next, you will rub it on the outside of the brisket. Don’t be gentle with rubbing it in, firmly rub it into the brisket! Get the full smoked brisket recipe here!
Get your Bradley Ready
You’ll want to cook the brisket at 180 – 220 Degrees for 16-24 hours in your Bradley Smoker. Ted can’t emphasis enough how easy the Bradley Smoker is stating “you put it in and you don’t have to worry about it.”
Every now and then you’ll want to open it up and give it a little more of a baste as to give it a bit more flavour!
