I bought a new Cajun Injector Electric Smoker to make things easier for me. This Brisket was to die for! Delicious, juicy, moist, and as tender as it...

  • Trim the brisket: Remove excess fat from the brisket, leaving a 1/4-inch layer.
  • Season the brisket liberally: Use a rub made with brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  • Smoke the brisket low and slow: Cook the brisket in a smoker at 225°F (107°C) for 8-12 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 205°F (96°C).
  • Wrap the brisket in foil during the last few hours of smoking: This will help to tenderize the brisket and keep it moist.
  • Let the brisket rest before slicing: Let the brisket rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing, this will allow the juices to redistribute.
