There are only so many hours in the day to cook, and if you’re like me, you can’t spend every single one of them smoking a brisket, so I figured it out. How long does it take to smoke a brisket? Here’s how long to do it at 225 degrees.
How long to smoke a brisket at 225
As it turns out, the total time it takes to smoke a brisket is pretty darn accurate. A brisket at 225˚F and 9.5% humidity takes about 1:07:48 according to Jim Lahey of Sullivan Street Bakery. The time goes down to about 1:04:43 if you cool the brisket to 205˚F and 9.5%. When it comes to a Whole Hog, it takes about 1:05:47 according to the time recorded by Brad Neese of the Steve’s Texas Smokehouse. The best time for this method according to the USDA is 1:04:25, which is the time it took to smoke a whole hog at 207˚F and 9.1%. On the other hand, the time for low and slow smoking according to the USDA is 1:20:01, which is the time it took to smoke a whole hog at 185˚F and 4.7% humidity. When it comes to a brisket, the best time for low and slow according to the USDA is 1:31:46, which is the time it took to smoke a brisket at 225˚F and 9.4%. If you’re smoking a whole hog, the USDA recommends 1:30:26, which is the time it took to smoke a whole hog at 165˚F and 6.9%. The USDA recommends smoking whole hogs over indirect heat for the best smoke.

The Procedure of Smokery
The process of smoking brisket is pretty much the same as for pork, as both require low and slow cooking. In both instances, the meat is first put into a dry brine, and then injected with a marinade. This is because of the very high concentration of salt that will give the meat a flavour similar to that of bacon or prosciutto.
How To Time Brisket
At the beginning, we had a brisket that was a little bit too small. We went about five hours of cooking time for the brisket and then a hour and a half for the ribs. The extra cooking time on the brisket made the meat fall apart a little too early. The ribs were a little too tender. We left them in the foil for an additional hour, which was probably a mistake. The brisket didn’t seem to want to cook any more after that hour, and it was a little too late to turn the brisket. So, we ended up with a delicious, though small, brisket. We ended up removing the brisket after about three hours, and we ended up with really delicious ribs. The ribs were perfectly done and tender. We might have cooked them just a little too long though.
Seasoning For Brisket
Brisket is a type of beef that typically has a lot of fat and is generally best cooked at a lower temperature than other types of beef. Brisket is the leanest of the beef cuts, with less than 2% fat. Because of the amount of fat, the protein in brisket tends to break down more quickly than the leaner cuts. This is why it’s best cooked at a lower temperature. The “searing” of the fat over a period of time helps to melt the fat, creating a delicious and tender texture. It’s important to make sure you season brisket before you cook it. Brisket has a lot of natural oils, and it can dry out if it’s not cooked properly. The best way to ensure that the brisket doesn’t dry out is to soak it in a solution of sodium bicarbonate and water. This helps to remove the water in the brisket, preventing it from becoming dry. For maximum flavor, you should sear the brisket for at least 10 minutes before cooking it.
