Directions:

1. Fire up your Grill/Smoker as per the instructions in the manual.

4. Liberally apply Original BBQ Rub and Steak Maker to the brisket.
5. Once charcoal is ready to cook on, add a few wood chunks to the fire.
6. Cook brisket (unwrapped) at 250ºF to 275ºF using indirect heat and smoke for 6 hours.  Make sure brisket is positioned away from the coal bed, near the smoke stack.  Add charcoal and wood as needed to maintain cooking temperature.

8. Continue to cook for approximately 3 hours at 275 to 300 degrees
9. Pull brisket from cooker and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour before slicing and serving.  Slice against the grain for best results.
