Mission BBQ Brisket Recipe
There's something truly special about the brisket from Mission BBQ, and I've spent quite a bit of time perfecting a home-friendly version that does it justice. You'll be thrilled with the juiciness and flavor you'll achieve with these techniques. The key trick is mastering the 3 2 1 method: smoke the brisket uncovered for three hours, wrap it for two hours, then a final hour without the wrap. I love how straightforward this approach is, ensuring consistent results that your guests will find hard to resist.

Total Time 12 hours hrs
- 1 whole Brisket 8-10 lb., trimmed
- 2 tbsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Black Pepper
- 2 tbsp Paprika
- 1 tbsp Garlic Powder

Mix salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl.
Rub the entire brisket evenly with the spice mixture.
Place the rubbed brisket on a baking sheet.
Cover it and let stand in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 6 hours.
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (or grill using indirect heat).
Add a drip pan beneath the grates to maintain moisture.
Position the brisket on the grill grate above the drip pan.
Smoke it for 6-8 hours, adding wood chips occasionally for the smoky flavor.
Wrap the brisket tightly in aluminum foil.
Return to the grill and cook until the internal temperature reaches 200°F.
