Ingredients

  • 2 cups hickory wood chips
  • 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cracked white pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cracked red pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon pepper
  • 5 lb well-trimmed fresh beef brisket (not corned beef)
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

Steps

  • 1
    Cover wood chips with water; soak 30 minutes.
  • 2
    Drain wood chips. Prepare and heat smoker using wood chips. (For charcoal smoker, use 5 pounds charcoal briquettes.)
  • 3
    In small bowl, mix black pepper, white pepper, red pepper and lemon pepper. Rub pepper mixture into all sides of beef.
  • 4
    Brush smoker rack with vegetable oil. Place beef on rack. Cover and smoke beef about 4 hours. Brush beef with barbecue sauce. Smoke about 1 hour longer or until meat thermometer reads 160°F.

  • Buy more brisket than you need for this meal because leftovers are great in sandwiches and on top of salads.
  • Even if you don’t have a smoker, you can make a tasty pepper-rubbed beef brisket. Place a 5-pound beef brisket in a 13x9x2-inch pan lined foil. Coat brisket with the pepper mixture and cover. Bake at 325°F for about 3 hours until meat thermometer reads 160°F.
