Brisket

Step 1

Cut the hard sinews from the brisket and remove the excess fat. Mix the ingredients for the rub.Thoroughly rub the brisket with the mixture and let rest for at least 1 hour at room temperature.

Step 2

Mix two handfuls of Hickory Wood Chips into the charcoal in the Big Green Egg. Ignite the charcoal and heat the EGG, with the convEGGtor, to 135°C.Lift the convEGGtor (wearing the EGGmitt) and sprinkle a handful of Hickory Wood Chips over the smouldering charcoal. Put the convEGGtor back and place the grid inside the EGG. Put the brisket on the grid and push the Dual Probe Remote Thermometer into the centre of the meat. Close the lid of the EGG and set the temperature of the thermometer to 85°C. Let the brisket cook for about 8 hours at 135°C until the set core temperature has been reached. The preparation time may vary widely.Remove the brisket from the Big Green Egg once this core temperature has been reached. Pack it up loosely in aluminium foil and place the brisket (for insulation) in a cooler. Let the brisket rest for at least 30 minutes before cutting.
