Tips from the Expert

Tori from Camp Chef was gracious enough to share some tips for how to smoke a brisket in an electric smoker.

Don’t feel overwhelmed! It seems like there are a million ways to ruin a brisket and only one way to do it right, but the truth is, anyone can do it! There’s no magic sauce or secret incantation. All you need is a reliable SmokePro pellet grill and a good rub.As with any cut of meat, it’s vital to cook brisket according to internal temperature rather than the amount of time that has passed. You should estimate the entire cooking process to take 10-15 hours, but this will vary. To be safe, just keep an eye on the internal temperature.Choose a cut of meat that feels flexible when you pick it up. This means it’s well marbled, and the more fat the better. If it’s too stiff, there isn’t enough fat in it.Choose any kind of seasoning rub you like. Camp Chef has a delicious all purpose rub that makes the brisket super delicious!Follow the step by step instructions in the recipe card below and you will have the perfect tender, flavorful smoked brisket that everyone will be talking about!
