Classic Smoked Beef Brisket

Step 1

Preheat your Z Grills pellet smoker to 225°F.

Step 2

Use a sharp knife to trim excess fat from the brisket (You may substitute brisket flat or point for whole brisket).

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine garlic, paprika, pepper, and salt. Sprinkle and press evenly into beef Brisket on all sides and edges.

Step 4

Place brisket on the grill. Smoke the brisket for 3 hours.

Step 5

After 3 hours, remove the brisket from the grill and wrap it in foil.

Step 6

Continue smoking the brisket until the internal temperature reaches 195°F for brisket that slices easily. This may take about another 8 hours. For brisket that can be shredded or chunked, smoke the brisket when the internal temperature reaches 205°F.
