Tips for Perfect BBQ Brisket:
- Resting: Letting the brisket rest is crucial for retaining its juices and tenderness. Don’t skip this step.
- Wood Choice: For grilling or smoking, different woods will give different flavors. Mesquite imparts a bold smoky flavor, while hickory and oak are milder and more classic for beef brisket.
- Internal Temperature: Be patient with the cooking time. The key to a tender brisket is slow cooking until it reaches the correct internal temperature.
- Wrapping in Foil (Texas Crutch): Some people wrap their brisket in foil during cooking once it hits around 160°F internal temperature to help it cook faster and keep it moist. This can be a good option if you’re short on time.
