How long does it take to grill a brisket?

Grill/Roast 5-8 hours, depending on the size of the brisket, or until meat thermometer registers 185°-190°F in the thickest part. I like to wrap the brisket in two layers of heavy-duty foil when it reaches about 170°F. That way, the brisket steams and tenderizes even more as it finishes cooking.

How do you grill a brisket on a gas grill?

Preheat the grill to around 225-250 degrees. Place the brisket over the part of the grill where the burner is off or very low. Cook at 225-250 degrees. Keep the lid closed and maintain the cooking temperature throughout.

Can you cook a brisket in a regular grill?

Place the seasoned brisket on the grill directly above the aluminum half pan. Cover the grill and allow the brisket to smoke until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees (depending on the size of the brisket, this can take 10+ hours).

What is the best method for cooking a brisket?

You can use a dedicated smoker, a charcoal grill with wet wood chips or a gas grill with wet wood chips set for indirect heat. It’s important to note that BBQ is the process of low, slow dry heat cooking. Grilling is high heat, fast cooking, it’s not BBQ. Cook the brisket for 7 to 10 hours.

Do you flip brisket on the grill?

Ideally, flip and rotate your brisket at least once during the cooking. If you need the fat to shield the meat from the fire, then leave it fat side down for the majority of the time.

Should I wrap my brisket in foil?

Wrapping the brisket will prevent what’s called “the stall” — when evaporation from the surface of the brisket halts the cooking process. It also gives you more control over the final appearance of the bark, and can help lock in moisture that would otherwise be lost as the brisket cooks.
