Competition Brisket, Cool Smoke Style

Brisket is often treated much like a pot roast, which is cooked until it falls apart. When competition brisket is perfectly cooked, you’re able to slice the flat to about the thickness of a number 2 pencil, and can pick up the slice and pull it apart with a gentle tug.
Makes 12 to 14 servings
  • 1 (12- to 14-pound) beef brisket
  • 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons Cool Smoke Rub
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 cups apple juice, in a spray bottle, for the grill
  • 2 teaspoons minced dehydrated onions
  • 2 cups Cool Smoke Barbecue Sauce
The day before you plan to cook, clean and prepare the brisket. Alternatively, have your butcher do this.
