Ready to embark on a mouthwatering journey that takes patience, precision, and just the right amount of smoke? Meet the king of BBQ: the low and slow smoked brisket. With your Char-Griller grill by your side, you’re about to transform a humble cut of beef into a tender, juicy masterpiece that’ll have everyone coming back for seconds (and thirds!). This smoked brisket recipe by Char-Griller Ambassador, James Llorens is worth the time it takes to develop this tender and juicy brisket.

Mastering Low and Slow Brisket on a Char-Griller Offset Smoker

Brisket is a tough cut that doesn’t give up easily. But when you cook it low and slow, you’re breaking down that stubborn connective tissue and rendering the fat into pure, juicy goodness. This isn’t a quick fix—it’s a process that takes hours, but the payoff is in every tender, melt-in-your-mouth bite.

An offset smoker like your Char-Griller grill is built for serious BBQ but easy enough to use for beginners as well. The separate side fire box lets you cook with indirect heat, so your brisket isn’t getting blasted by flames, but instead, is soaking up all that slow-building heat and smoke. You’ve got full control over the temperature and smoke levels, giving you the power to create a brisket with killer bark, a smoke ring to be proud of, and flavors that’ll blow minds.

The Char-Griller Smokin’ Pro Barrel Grill and Offset Smoker provides ultimate cooking versatility with the ability to grill your favorite foods, or low-and-smoke Texas-style offset smoking methods to achieve delicious and juicy barbecue flavor.

Brisket Tips: Your Pre-Game Snack

Why wait until the brisket’s done to start enjoying the cook? Here’s a little bonus for those who like to enjoy a snack while they wait for the main event: brisket tips. When you’re trimming your brisket before smoking, don’t toss those trimmings away! You can season and smoke them right alongside the main cut. These bite-sized pieces cook faster than the full brisket, so they’re ready to enjoy as a smoky, savory treat long before the brisket is done. It’s the perfect way to keep your taste buds entertained while you wait for the main course. It’s like a BBQ pre-game, keeping you fueled and ready while your brisket does its thing.

The Final Slice

Smoking a brisket low and slow on a Char-Griller offset smoker is more than just cooking – it’s an experience. From the moment you light the fire to the first juicy bite, every step is a celebration of flavor, patience, and skill. Whether you’re new to smoking or a seasoned pitmaster, this method will have you serving up brisket that’s the talk of the BBQ.

So, fire up your Char-Griller, grab your favorite wood chips, and get ready to enjoy the low and slow journey to brisket perfection. And don’t forget to snack on those brisket tips along the way – you’ve earned it!
