request: big green egg brisket recipe

[ttubudd]

Well, I just picked up a large big green egg yesterday. Someone volunteered me to smoke a brisket for a going away party for a co-worker, because obviously, since I have a big green egg now, i know how to use it and make a mean brisket...

Who's the brisket champ of TBH? Come forth and share your secrets.

I'll give it a trial run this weekend

There's several good threads on brisket rubs. You might do a search. I'm a kosher salt and cracked black pepper man. Or I use Cavendar's Greek seasoning. You don't prepare the brisket any differently for cooking on the BGE than anywhere else. Or are you asking about how to use the BGE?

From the BGE cook book:

BEEF/VENISON
Sugar Coated Brisket
Contributed by : Uncle Dave
Ingredients:
Ÿ 3-5LB Brisket
Ÿ ¼ cup favorite rub
Ÿ 2 cups white sugar
Ÿ 1 can beer
Ÿ 1 onion
Directions:
Ÿ Coat Brisket with rub of choice over night.
Ÿ Next morning, pour 2 cups of white sugar over brisket. Hard to do but trust me. That night all sugar
will have disappeared.
Ÿ Put on BGE Fat down 250 one hour.
Ÿ Then put in a v rack in drip pan, 1 hour more 250.
Ÿ Take brisket off and set it on a double sheet of foil. Form the edges into a crude bowl.
Ÿ Pour 2/3 of a beer on meat
Ÿ Slice an onion and throw it on too.
Ÿ Close top up with a third piece of foil.
Ÿ Return to grill for 3 hours at 200.
Five hours total cook time and you can cut this with a plastic fork! Served 8 for lunch today and
they just couldn’t believe it. It was the finest brisket anyone would want.

I hope you got the indirect heat plate if you plan on smoking a brisket
