To smoke a brisket, the recommended temperature is around 225°F to 275°F
. However, some pitmasters cook at 325°F and have great results
. It is important to check the internal temperature of the brisket regularly during the smoking process. The brisket should be smoked until the internal temperature reaches around 200°F
. The smoking process can take around 6 to 12 hours depending on the size of the brisket and the temperature used
. Once the brisket has reached the desired temperature, it should be removed from the smoker and allowed to rest for 30-40 minutes before slicing
