Step 1: Preheat the pellet grill Start by preheating your pellet grill to a temperature of 225°F (107°C). This low and slow cooking temperature is ideal for smoking a brisket.

Step 2: Trim and season the brisket Trim any excess fat from the surface of the brisket, leaving a thin layer for flavor and moisture. Season the brisket generously with salt and black pepper, ensuring all sides are coated. If desired, you can also apply your favorite dry rub or spice blend for additional flavor. Pat the seasoning onto the brisket to help it adhere.

Step 3: Prepare the pellet grill for smoking Fill the pellet hopper of your grill with your preferred wood pellets. Popular choices for smoking brisket include hickory, mesquite, or oak. Start the grill and allow it to heat up until the pellets ignite and produce smoke.

Step 4: Place the brisket on the grill Once the grill is producing smoke, place the seasoned brisket directly on the grill grates, fat side up. Close the lid of the grill to maintain a consistent temperature and smoke circulation.

Step 5: Smoke the brisket Let the brisket smoke at a steady temperature of 225°F (107°C) for about 1.5 to 2 hours per pound of brisket. This means a 10-pound brisket will take approximately 15-20 hours. It's essential to maintain a steady temperature and avoid frequent opening of the grill to ensure consistent smoking and cooking.

Step 6: Monitor the internal temperature After a few hours of smoking, start monitoring the internal temperature of the brisket using a meat thermometer. The brisket is typically done when the internal temperature reaches around 195-205°F (90-96°C) in the thickest part of the meat. This ensures tenderness and renders the fat.

Step 7: Rest and slice the brisket Once the brisket reaches the desired temperature, carefully remove it from the grill and wrap it tightly in foil. Allow the brisket to rest for at least 30 minutes to an hour. This resting period helps redistribute the juices and improves tenderness. After resting, slice the brisket against the grain into thin slices for serving.

Step 8: Serve and enjoy Your flavorful smoked brisket from the pellet grill is now ready to be served. It pairs well with barbecue sauce, pickles, and your favorite sides like coleslaw or baked beans. Enjoy the tender, smoky goodness of your homemade brisket!

Note: Cooking times may vary depending on the size and thickness of the brisket. It's important to use a meat thermometer to ensure the brisket reaches the desired internal temperature for optimal tenderness.
