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.
