Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (6.5-pound) brisket
4 cups apple wood chips, soaked in equal parts water
1/4 cup seasoning rub of your choice
2-liters of Dr. Pepper Soda, or enough to cover brisket
1/2 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • Pierce the brisket and pour either Dr. Pepper over brisket, enough to cover the brisket and marinade in the Dr. Pepper overnight. Take out in the morning, and rub canola oil on the brisket and rub the brisket with the rub seasoning of your choice. Make sure the brisket is fully covered in the rub and well-oiled. Let the meat rest and come to room temperature. Heat your smoker up to 250°F. Once preheated, place the brisket in the smoker, and cook fat-side-up, low and slow at 250°F for 8 hours. Remove, wrap in tin foil and place in a cooler for 30 minutes or until ready to eat. You can also wrap in foil and heavy towel and place in microwave if you don't have a cooler.

Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality brisket with plenty of marbling. This will help ensure that the meat is tender and flavorful.
  • Trim the brisket of excess fat, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat on the meat.
  • Make sure the Dr. Pepper marinade is cold before adding the brisket. This will help the marinade penetrate the meat more effectively.
  • Marinate the brisket for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours. The longer the brisket marinates, the more flavorful it will be.
  • When smoking the brisket, use indirect heat and maintain a temperature of 225 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help the brisket cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
  • Smoke the brisket for about 1 hour per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 203 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Dr. Pepper smoked brisket is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your brisket turns out tender, flavorful, and juicy. So next time you're looking for a delicious smoked meat dish, give Dr. Pepper smoked brisket a try.
