Instructions

  1. Place brisket on a baking pan. Season evenly with brisket rub to coat all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
  2. Prepare grill for indirect, medium-low heat (275°F to 300°F). Preheat grill by turning all the burners to high. Turn burner on 1 side to medium-high. Turn off the burner(s) on the other side. Place foil pan under grates on unlit side of grill to catch drippings. Place beef, fat-side up, on unlit side of grill. Close grill.
  3. Place brisket, fat-side up, on unlit side of grill and close lid. Grill 6 to 7 hours until internal temperature of thickest part is 175°F to 180°F, gently moving and turning every 2 to 3 hours. Carefully remove brisket from grill and wrap in foil.
  4. Return brisket to unlit side of grill. Cook 30 to 60 minutes longer until internal temperature is 190°F.
  5. Remove from grill and let stand 15 to 20 minutes. Slice and serve with warm pan juices, if desired.
