Smoked Brisket in an Electric Smoker

If you've never tried smoking a brisket, this is an easy and clean way to get the job done. Smoked brisket is one of my favorite meats of all time! Tender, juicy, full of smoky flavor, it's absolutely delicious. We're thrilled to team up with Tori from Camp Chef to share her extensive knowledge about how to cook the perfect smoked brisket on a pellet grill. Tori and Tom from Camp Chef actually came up to Boise and made one of these briskets for us (you can actually watch the video below) and OH MAN was it GOOD.

Tips from the Expert

Tori from Camp Chef was gracious enough to share some tips for how to smoke a brisket in an electric smoker.

  • Don't feel overwhelmed! It seems like there are a million ways to ruin a brisket and only one way to do it right, but the truth is, anyone can do it! There's no magic sauce or secret incantation. All you need is a reliable SmokePro pellet grill and a good rub.
  • As with any cut of meat, it's vital to cook brisket according to internal temperature rather than the amount of time that has passed. You should estimate the entire cooking process to take 10-15 hours, but this will vary. To be safe, just keep an eye on the internal temperature.
  • Choose a cut of meat that feels flexible when you pick it up. This means it's well marbled, and the more fat the better. If it's too stiff, there isn't enough fat in it.
  • Choose any kind of seasoning rub you like. Camp Chef has a delicious all purpose rub that makes the brisket super delicious!
  • Follow the step by step instructions in the recipe card below and you will have the perfect tender, flavorful smoked brisket that everyone will be talking about!

What to Serve with Smoked Brisket

How to Cook the Perfect Brisket

Join us and Camp Chef to learn how to smoke a brisket in an electric smoker! It's easy and turns out tender and flavorful every time.

  • Pellet Grill

  • 1 Full Brisket 10-15 Lbs
  • Camp Chef All-Purpose Seasoning
  • Choose a brisket that feels flexible when you pick it up. This means it is well-marbled. If it's stiff, there isn't enough fat in it.

  • Rinse and pat dry the brisket.

  • Trim the fat cap (the thick layer of fat that covers one side of the brisket) down to ¼-½ inch. Trim down any other fat around the brisket that looks too thick.

  • Remove the silver skin from the bottom by scoring it and peeling it off with a paper towel.

  • Rinse and pat dry the brisket again.

  • Preheat your pellet grill to 225° F or Hi Smoke.

  • Coat the meat in your favorite rub until it is covered on all sides but not caked. We love our Camp Chef All Purpose Seasoning for cooking brisket.

  • When the grill has reached temp, get your brisket on there. Stick the meat probe into the middle of the point (the thicker part of the brisket).

  • Smoke the brisket until it has reached an internal temperature of 160° F (this usually takes about 8 hours, but just watch your meat thermometer).

  • Remove the brisket and wrap it completely in aluminum foil. Place back on the grill.

  • Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 190° F-200° F. This normally takes another 2-4 hours.

  • Remove from the grill and let it rest in an empty cooler or an oven (no heat), still covered with foil. The brisket should rest for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.

  • Carve the brisket into ¼-inch slices, cutting against the grain of the meat. Then, enjoy the smoky deliciousness of your perfect brisket.
