- Combine the injection ingredients in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until hot, do not boil. Allow to cool completely before injecting.
- Remove excess fat from the flat side and remove fat to expose the point side.
- Inject the brisket with the prepared mixture, reserving about 1 cup for later. Refrigerate overnight.
- Season generously with Ben's Heffer Dust and let rest on the counter for 30 minutes.
- Smoke at 235°F until an internal temperature of 165°F is reached. (Approximately 8-10 hours.)
- Remove the brisket, double wrap with foil, adding the reserved injection liquid.
- When the brisket reaches 203°F, begin probing for tenderness. (Approximately 2-4 more hours.)
- Remove from the smoker, tent with foil to keep warm, and allow the brisket to rest for at least 1 hour.
- Cut the flat end point and remove to allow for easy slicing. Slice against the grain and serve!
