This Texas Slow Smoked Brisket came out fantastic. After being seasoned with some great spices and rubs, this brisket is smoked all day on the Trager grill. It comes out so tender, you and your family will love it.
If you are a fan of Smokey Texas style barbeque, you will love this brisket recipe. My son said it was the best meat hes ever been served in my house in his 32 years . Lol. he absolutely loved it. We served The Best Potato Salad With Mustard and Egg and Extra Creamy Coleslaw with Bacon along with some other favorites.
To say I wasn't thrilled when my husband said he was getting a smoker , would be an understatement.. I was used to my gas grill and set in my ways. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The Trager smokers are great. https://www.traegergrills.com/ check them out.
It will take 8-9 hours to get the brisket tender and perfect.
225 degrees is the suggested temperature for smoking a brisket.
We used premade rubs that we purchased from https://www.meatchurch.com/blogs/recipes. These guys have a lot of great options. Our favorites are the Gospel Rub and The All Purpose Rub. However you can also make your own rub if you prefer.
We used cherry pellets , it is a personal choice the cherry went well with the brisket flavor.
Personally I haven't done it on a gas grill, I did however find a recipe from someone who says yes you can. Check out how here https://www.101cookingfortwo.com/cook-brisket-gas-grill/
