FAQS
How do you make brisket more flavorful?
Common rub ingredients include garlic, herbs, and spices. Use sparingly to avoid over-salting the brisket.
How do you keep brisket moist when cooking?
To keep your brisket moist while smoking, place a water pan in the smoker. After the first 2-3 hours, spray the brisket with water, apple juice, hot sauce, or apple cider vinegar every 30 minutes to an hour. This will help prevent it from drying out and burning.
With these 30 side dishes, you are well-prepared to elevate every beef brisket dinner into an exceptional feast everyone will enjoy!
