Meat Ingredients

• 1 ? 8 ? 12lbs Brisket

Basic Directions

• Heat Smoker using favorite rig and fuel source
• Prep Brisket as desired
• Inject Brisket w/ Beefy Onion Soup Mix (ground)
• Season Brisket w/ Beefy Onion Soup Mix and Pepper
• Baste Brisket, recipe follows
• Wrap Brisket
• Slice Brisket
• Sprinkle slices with Bacon Salt (original)

Smoke @ 225 ? 275 degrees F on your favorite RIGGGGGG.

Take 1 package of Lipton?s Beefy Onion Soup Mix and use a Magic Bullet (or equivalent) to grind the seasoning into a fine powder.? Mix ground soup mix with about 2 c of hot water.? Inject soup mix into the fat side of the brisket in a diagonal motion, being careful not to go entirely through the brisket.? The fat side will seal the holes you make, but you don?t want the juices running all the way through the brisket and escaping, since you?ll cook fat side up for the first several hours +.

Insert a thermometer and place in the cooker, fat side up. After 2 hours spray every 2 hours with basting spray. Cook until internal temperature reaches 165?F.

Lay out aluminum foil, place the brisket on foil fat side up, pour about 1 c of apple cider over the brisket and securely wrap in the foil. Reinsert the thermometer. Place back in the cooker and cook until the internal temperature reaches 195?F

Remove the brisket from the cooker and place brisket in foil pan, allowing to rest at least 30 minutes or until you are ready to slice.

Cut the flat off the whole brisket,? Slice the brisket flat against the grain into 1/8-inch slices, dredging in the sauce (if desired).? Sprinkle slices with Original Bacon Salt.? Serve or turn in immediately.
