Tips & Notes
Pro tips
- Fatty brisket requires proper smoke management—aim for a consistent smoke ring that indicates proper bark formation without excessive char
- The tenderness test is critical: properly smoked brisket should pull apart cleanly; use a probe or toothpick to check doneness rather than relying on time alone
- Resting the brisket after smoking allows carryover cooking and helps redistribute juices for maximum tenderness
