FAQ

Why is my smoked brisket rubbery?

Ah, the dreaded rubbery brisket. Don’t fret, it happens to the best of us.

The most common culprit is overcooking. Remember, low and slow is the name of the game, but going too long can turn that tender brisket into a rubbery mess.

To avoid this, make sure to monitor your cooking time and aim for an internal temperature of around 195°F to 203°F (90°C to 95°C) for that perfect tenderness.

How to utilize leftovers?

Leftovers? (Oh, they’re a blessing in disguise)

Transform those extra slices of smoked brisket into a variety of mouthwatering delights.

From epic sandwiches and quesadillas to loaded baked potatoes and brisket-topped pizzas, the possibilities are endless.

Get creative, and let your culinary genius shine.

Is smoked brisket healthy?

When it comes to indulging in smoky goodness, moderation is key.

While smoked brisket is a flavorful treat, it’s not the lightest option.

However, you can make it healthier by trimming excess fat before cooking and choosing leaner cuts.

Pair it with nutritious sides like our black bean and quinoa salad or a fresh garden salad.

Balance is the secret to enjoying this BBQ classic guilt-free.
