Going to attempt my first brisket this weekend

[rw02kr43]

This coming weekend I plan on attempting my first brisket. I'm going to put it on my UDS. Probably inject with some beef broth. Any advice on rub or how long to cook and what temps?

Thanks
Jason

Hit it with some seasoned salt, black pepper, cayenne, and Montreal steak seasoning. Cook it at 275 until a probe sides in with no resistance in both the flat and the point.

I agree. Maybe Chris is just being modest. I too used his tutorial when I started out. It is a great resource and I recommend it highly. :thumb:

Keep it simple, you don't need any fancy rubs or injections on your first try.
Equal parts salt, pepper and paprika will work out well.
Focus on a low and slow cook and remember to cut against the grain when you are done.

I used these links on my first (and second) briskets last week.

My ONLY suggestions is this: Don't get your expectations for your first one too high. Briskets are a right pain in the arse.

I did the only two briskies that I have done hot n fast. No less than 275 and no more than um, 325. or is it 350? Watch the Pitmaster T vid. I used that for my guidance. I foiled towards the end before taking it off the pit. Don't have to, but I did. Makes the bark softer but both pieces of meat were tasty. I checked temps till about 190 then started probing. When it was done, it was done.

Yup keep it simple. I use S & P and a little gran. garlic smoke till 160/170 foil add 1/4 cup of beef broth till it hits 190 then probe test till the probe slides in like soft butter. Wrap in a towel and cooler it for a n hour or two, slice and enjoy.
