Instructions
Preparing the Brisket
- Start by trimming the excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer on top for flavor and moisture.
- In a bowl, combine the Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, yellow mustard, brown sugar, paprika, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if desired). Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
- Season the brisket with your homemade rub and seasonings. Ensure it is thoroughly coated, covering all sides of the brisket.
- Wrap the seasoned brisket tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Preheating and Smoking on the Coyote Pellet Grill
- Preheat the Coyote Pellet Grill to 225°F (107°C) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Fill the pellet hopper with mesquite wood pellets.
- Place the marinated brisket directly on the grill grates, fat side up.
- Smoke the brisket for a total of 8 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature of 225°F (107°C). Every 4 hours, check the brisket and ensure there are enough wood pellets in the hopper for continuous smoke production.
- After 8 hours, the brisket should be nearly finished.
Resting and Serving
- Check the internal temperature of the brisket using a meat thermometer. The ideal temperature for a perfectly cooked brisket is around 204°F (96°C).
- Once the brisket reaches the desired temperature, carefully remove it from the grill and wrap it tightly in double-layered aluminum foil.
- Let the brisket rest for 30 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute and the meat to become tender.
- After resting, unwrap the brisket and slice it against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness.
- Serve the mouthwatering Kansas City brisket with your favorite barbecue sauce, sides, and enjoy the incredible flavors.
