The Jewel of Smoked Meat: Brisket

Brisket, also known as beef brisket, is a cut of meat that has earned its place in the world of smoked meat. The combination of lean meat and fat in brisket provides a unique texture and flavor that are magnified when cooked in a smoker barrel.

Ingredients for a Smoky Delight

To make a barrel-smoked brisket that will have your guests licking their fingers, you'll need:

• A high quality brisket.
• A spice rub mix (may include salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and more).
• Firewood or wood chips (such as oak or walnut) for smoking.
• Patience and love for smoked cooking.

Steps to Smoky Perfection

1. Brisket Preparation : Before you begin, make sure the brisket is clean and ready to be seasoned. Mix your favorite spice rub and apply it generously to all sides of the brisket. Let the meat rest for a while to allow the flavors to blend.

2. Lighting the Barrel Smoker : While the brisket absorbs the flavors from the spices, light the J Barrel Smoker and add the firewood or wood chips to the smoking chamber. Adjust the temperature to achieve a consistent heat level and aromatic smoke.

3. Grill Placement : Once the smoker barrel is generating smoke, place the brisket on the grill with the fat facing up. Close the barrel lid to ensure the smoke circulates evenly around the meat.

4. Slow Cook : Let the brisket cook slowly over low heat in the smoker barrel. The combination of heat and smoke will infuse the meat with a deep, irresistible smoky flavor. Be sure to turn the brisket occasionally for even cooking.

5. Patience and Reward : Cooking brisket takes time, but patience is rewarded with tender, juicy meat. Use a cooking thermometer to monitor the brisket's internal temperature. When it reaches your desired doneness, remove it from the smoker barrel and let it rest before slicing.
