INGREDIENTS

  • 6 cups oak or hickory wood chips
  • 1 tablespoon ground coffee
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons chile powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (4 1/2-pound) flat-cut brisket (about 3 inches thick)
  • Hands on: 1 Hour Total cook time: 7 Hours, 15 minutes

Preparation

1. Soak the wood chips in water at least 1 hour; drain.

2. Combine coffee and the next 8 ingredients in a bowl. Pat brisket dry; rub with coffee mixture.

3. Remove grill rack, and set aside. Prepare grill for indirect grilling, heating one side to high and leaving one side with no heat. Add smoker chips to the dedicated Alturi Smoker Box, or consider purchasing a Plug In Smoker Box from your dealer, if it is not standard on your grill. Maintain temperature at 225°. Place grill rack on grill. Place the brisket in a small roasting pan, and place pan on grill rack on unheated side. Close lid; cook for 6 hours or until a meat thermometer registers 195°. Add 1 1/2 cups wood chips every hour for first 4 hours; cover pan with foil for remaining 2 hours. Remove from grill. Let stand, covered, 30 minutes.

4. Unwrap brisket, reserving juices; trim and discard fat. Place a large zip-top plastic bag inside a 4-cup glass measure. Pour juices through a sieve into bag; discard solids. Let drippings stand for 10 minutes (fat will rise to the top). Seal bag; carefully snip off 1 bottom corner of bag. Drain drippings into a bowl, stopping before fat reaches opening; discard fat. Cut brisket across grain into thin slices; serve with juices and enjoy!
