Total Time: 9 hours 15 minutes

ingredients

  • 1 6 lb flat cut brisket, trimmed
  • 1/4 cup your favorite BBQ rub I like to use Head Country Championship or High Plains Heat Seasoning
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Serving: your favorite BBQ sauce

instructions

  • Preheat Traeger grill (or smoker of your preference) to 180˚F. Once preheated, make sure to let it sit, lid closed, for 15 minutes before adding the meat.
  • Season the brisket all over with BBQ rub.
  • In a small bowl, stir together beef broth, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce for the mop sauce. Set aside.
  • Place the brisket on the grill and smoke for 3 hours, applying mop sauce with mop brush every hour.
  • Increase temperature to 225˚F and continue to cooking, applying mop sauce every hour or so. Once an instant-read meat thermometer reads 204˚F when inserted into the thickest part, remove from grill and wrap in foil.
  • Let rest for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • When ready to serve, slice against the grain and serve with your favorite BBQ sauce.
