BBQ

A further 2 hours and the water bowl was removed and the brisket was wrapped in silver foil. this helped increase the cooking temperature due to the outside temperature being only 8ºC.

After the full 8 hours the foil was removed brisket was ready to eat see photo above and bottom of page.

Prepare your BBQ / smoker for indirect cooking. Your BBQ must have a lid.

To water Smoke we filled the water bowl with hot boiled water flavoured with 4 crushed garlic cloves.

This super simple recipe will produce juicy tender beef and is well worth the wait. A dish that is very popular in the USA for pot roasting and smoking.

Brisket is a cheaper cut than prime beef and has a marble effect which helps keep the meat moist during long periods of barbecuing. See photo below:

To start, we rubbed the top fat and sides of the brisket joint with Mexican Adobo spice rub plus black pepper. The joint was left to stand for about an hour while we prepared the BBQ.

When the charcoal was ready, a mixture of apple and cherry wood was added to smoke tin and placed carefully on the white hot charcoal. In about ten minutes the woodchips began to smoke. This is the right time to add the beef brisket to the BBQ, so that it will smoke seal.

After 4 hours at a temperature of 100ºC the brisket was basted with virgin olive oil to stop it from drying out. Using a charcoal starter the coals were replenished.

After 4 hours you have the option to add more woodchips

Don't let the joint dry out during barbecuing.

Don't check the joint too often you will lose cooking heat.

Adjust cooking times to suit barbecue temperature and outside conditions.

Wrapping in silver foil will allow you to increase cooking time and help keep the joint moist.

A cooking thermometer will allow you to check that the correct internal temperature is reached (in the middle of the joint)
