Tips

  • For the brisket, achieve a dry surface to allow good bark formation.
  • Cold smoke the brisket for about 4 hours at 165 Fahrenheit (74 Celsius) to increase smoke flavor and bark color.
  • Cook the brisket at 250 Fahrenheit (121 Celsius) for the remainder of the cook.
  • Rest the brisket in foil after cooking to soften the bark and maintain moisture.
