Some say you can tell what region a Southerner hails from solely based on their preference in barbecue. Every self-respecting Texan will tell you one thing: in the Lonestar state, brisket is king. Seasoned with just the right amount of salt and pepper, our Texas Style Beef Brisket is smoked to perfection.

Instructions
- Soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat smoker to 225° to 250°. Sprinkle soaked mesquite chips over coals.
- In a small bowl, combine salt and pepper. Spread rub over all sides of brisket. Place brisket, fat side up, in a disposable roasting pan. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
