Step 1

Prepare a grill fire or smoker to 250° using hickory, pecan or oak for smoke flavor.

Step 2

Take a sharp knife and make cuts down into the brisket. Season with salt and pepper on all sides.

Step 3

Place the brisket, fat side down onto the grill.

Step 4

Cook with the lid closed for about 3 -4 hours or until brisket reaches 165° using a digital meat thermometer.

Step 5

Remove from grill and place in a foil pan.

Step 6

Slather with sweet and spicy mustard.

Step 7

At this point if you are using a grill, you can move the brisket in the foil pan to a pellet grill set at 200- 250° or oven or return to the smoker. Continue to cook 3- 4 hours or until internal temperature reaches 200°.

Step 8

Remove from grill or smoker.

Step 9

The pan should have collected quite a bit of juice and drippings. Use an injector to inject it back into the brisket for the juiciest brisket you've ever had.

Step 10

Cover and rest the brisket for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
