Ace Kickstart Blackened Brisket

Ace Kickstart Blackened Brisket

Ingredients:

For the Brisket:

• 1 whole packer-style brisket (point and flat muscle both intact), trimmed to 1/4” fat
• Casa M Spice Co® Ace Kickstart®

LET’S GET COOKING:

1. Roughly 24 hours before you want to start your smoke, sprinkle Ace Kickstart® generously all over your brisket to evenly coat it.  Wrap it (or cover if you use a plastic bin like we do) and refrigerate.
2. Place the brisket into your smoker.  If you can control your smoke down low, we do 6 hours at 160°F, then go up to 275°F to cook.  If not, hit 225°F and stay steady.
3. Monitor your cook by internal temperature.  The connective tissues start to break down at 195°F, so we aim for 200°F, then drop the temp down to 160°F if we need to hold it any longer until we pull it off the smoker.
4. Let stand until cool enough to slice.
5. If you’re making our Charro Beans, make sure you save some ends for the beans!
