Grilled Brisket Recipe
Normally, brisket is cooked low and slow, but this grilled brisket recipe is a little quicker. Cooked with charcoal using the indirect grilling method, the brisket gets added flavor from high temperature searing.And unlike most bbq brisket recipes, calling for a final internal temperature of between 180-200 degrees, this brisket is removed from the grill when it reaches a medium level of doneness - 140-145 degrees.
