How to Cook a Brisket on a Gas Grill

The brisket is the cut of meat from the breast or lower chest of an animal. Typically, a brisket is veal or beef. There are several ways to cook a brisket, but in most instances it involves cooking over indirect heat. The slow cooking process helps to keep the juices deep inside the meat. Hickory or mesquite is often added to the heat source to give a smoked taste to the brisket.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 10 to 12 pound brisket ¾ cup of chili powder ½ cup of garlic powder ½ cup of granulated onion ½ cup of black pepper Two bay leaves Barbecue sauce

1. Trim the excess fat off of the brisket.

2. Season brisket as desired. A mixture of ¾ cup of chili powder, ½ cup of garlic powder, ½ cup of granulated onion, ½ cup of black pepper and two bay leaves is a good combination.

3. Preheat the grill.

4. Shut down half the grill. When cooking the brisket you do not want to cook over direct heat. Place the brisket on the side of the grill that is turned off. Turn the heated side of the grill to "Low." Close the cover of the grill to retain the heat.

5. Grill the brisket for two-and-a-half to three hours or until the brisket's center reaches 140 degrees.

6. Remove the brisket from the grill. Smother the brisket in your favorite barbecue sauce. Wrap the brisket in aluminum foil. Return the brisket to the non-heated part of the grill and cook for another two-and-a-half to three hours or until the center of the brisket reaches 200 degrees. During this time rotate the brisket evenly to get all sides by the heated part of the grill.

7. Remove the brisket and keep in the aluminum foil for 30 minutes to an hour.
