Big Bob gibsons brisket recipe

 I gave it a shot for the super bowl and I got rave reviews. 

It starts with rubbing  the brisket with beef bouillon soaked with Worcestershire sauce before putting on a dry rub.

I smoked it at 225-250 until the IT hit 175. Then I put it in a foil pan, poured one cup of water over the brisket and then wrapped it and put it back on until it was done. I pulled it at about 197 and rested it for about 4 hours (until dinner).

It was extremely moist and the flavor was BEEFY. The bark was obviously completely softened and the dry rub spices took a back seat to the beefy flavor, but I think those trade offs were worth it. Mostly because my wife absolutely loved it

Glad to hear that it was a hit. Awesome job man

@mrw123 just out of curiosity, how big was your brisket, and how long did it take from start to 175*, and from 175* to 197*? Thinking of trying my first brisket pretty soon...

Big Bob is a true legend......in his own mind.
Your brisket looks great.

About 12 pounds trimmed. It took about 13 hours to get to 175. After it was wrapped up it moved up to 197 quickly--about an hour and a half.

Thank you!

I was very curious about his brisket recipe. I love his white bbq sauce (that's an easy recipe and great) so i figured I'd give it  a shot even though the process was so different from what I'm used to.

The bottom line is I'll do it again with a few tweaks.

As do I. It's a great change from the more traditional sauces for sure.
