Scrumptious BBQ Brisket

Ingredients:

Beef Brisket 4 to 5lbs (fat trimmed to ¼ in thickness)
½ cup BBQ Rub
2 cups wood chips
Heavy duty Aluminum foil

Directions:

1. Apply Rub liberally to all sides of the meat. Wrap the meat tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 2 days. One hour prior to cooking remove the brisket from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature.
2. Soak the wood chips for 15 minutes and make a foil tray to hold the chips. Turn all burners to high or if using coals allow the coals to become gray, place the wood chips in the aluminum tray, close the lid and allow them to start smoking.
3. Turn the temperature down to medium, add the brisket fat side up and cover for 2 hours. The temperature of the grill should stay a constant 275 degrees.
4. After two hours take the meat inside and preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Wrap the entire brisket in tinfoil and place in a jelly roll pan. Bake until fork tender 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
5. Remove from oven and allow resting for 30 minutes. Slice against the grain into long thin slices.
6. This seems like a long process but it is easy, delicious and well worth the wait.
