I love your comment on how you really can’t smoke a brisket on a gas grill.
I’m a charcoal purist myself.

This was the perfect recipe! I have a Weber Performer also and smoked my first brisket last week using your recipe and steps. It came out absolutely perfect-moist, juicy and the perfect bark! Mine took 12 hours! 😂 BUT I live in hot, humid Florida and battled a 3 hour torrential rain storm during the cook. My brisket also stalled for 2 hours at which point I wrapped it in butcher paper and put it back on the grill to finish. Thank you for making my first smoked brisket a success!

This was my first attempt at smoking a brisket. Brisket isn’t necessarily my favorite barbecue (probably because I’ve never had GOOD brisket). Spent considerable time searching the internet for recipes and came across this one. Followed it to the T! The end result was incredible! Never have I ever had something so delicious! Never have I ever made something like this! Absolutely amazing! Love the recipe, love the result, love y’all’s story! Wouldn’t change a thing and will never do brisket any other way! And I will definitely do this again! Thank you for sharing your recipe! Simply awesome!

Only thing I switched was using paprika in the rub , looks amazing so far after 5 hours of smoking now just in the holding process, imagine it’ll taste as good as it looks ! Thanks for the tips on charcoal grill !

In reply to Michael Heamon. Hi Michael, thanks for the feedback. We will probably put a note on the cayenne. We tend to like things a little hotter than most people.

Followed the method to the letter and our brisket was awesome! The one thing that we will adjust on the next go-around is cutting back on the cayenne. (We felt that it upstaged the other flavors a little too much.) Thanks for the guidance!

In reply to Smoker Virgin. Hi there, David here. I usually add 2-4 UNLIT on each side of the Weber Kettle or 4-6 inside my water smoker. If the temperature has dropped too low, I will add more unlit charcoal, but that amount usually keeps the temperature within range. What kind of smoker are you using?

About to smoke a brisket for the very first time. The very first time to even use a smoker so I have what may seem like a rookie and naive question.
When you’re adding more charcoal, about how much do you add and do your relight it? Or do the previous coals ignite them and keep the temperature from getting too hot?
