Award Winning BBQ Brisket on a Weber Kettle
What you need
- 1 Full Briskets (10-15lbs)
- Bombshell Black and White Rub
- Get Twisted All Purpose Rub
- All American Beef Injection (Optional)
- Weber Kettle
- Braising Liquid
- Remove excess large areas of fat.
- Trim off the edges of the brisket.
- Apply an even coat of Get Twisted All Purpose Rub
- Apply an even coat of Bombshell Black and White Rub
- Let the brisket sit for at least 20-30 minutes
- Preheat your Weber Kettle to 325-350*, keeping all the coals to one side
- Once the Kettle is up to temp, put 3-4 Cherry Mojo Bricks on top of the coals
- Place the brisket on the opposite side of the grill as the coals are on
- Shut the lid, keep the temperature around 325-350, and let it cook for about 2 hours or until dark reddish brown
- Once the brisket has reached that dark color, it is time to wrap (the internal temperature will be about 155-165 at this point)
- Get your foil set up to wrap the brisket with a braising liquid of some (beef broth, juice, beer, water, bbq sauce, etc)
- Add about 1-2 cups of liquid and then wrap the foil very tight
- Place the wrapped brisket back on the grill, opposite of the coals
- Shut the lid, keep the temperature around 325-350, and let it cook for about 2 hours, and then check the internal temperature
- You will be looking for an internal temperature between 210-215, but more importantly, the thermometer should go in and out smooth without any resistance
- Once the brisket is finished cooking, keep it wrapped and place it in an empty cooler, Cambro food carrier or even an oven that has not been turned on
- Allow the brisket for rest for 1-3 hours
- You are now ready to slice
- If you are comfortable, remove the point from the flat
- Slice the point against the grain
- If you removed the point, cube it and serve it up as burnt ends
- Enjoy
That is how we cook a Hot and Fast Brisket on a Weber Kettle. This is a great recipe and method because it allows you to cook a full brisket in such a short period of time, with very little fuel, and get similar (if not better) results as a low and slow brisket cook.
