Notes

We are cooking the brisket fat side up so that as it cooks, it helps keep the meat tender as it cooks. It will also give you that perfectly crisp topping that we are looking for.

Brisket will be the most tender when cooked to a temperature between 195-205 degrees F.

Letting the meat rest 10 minutes before slicing is essential. It allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a more tender bite.
