Ingredients

10 lb beef brisket
1/4 cup Christie Vanover's Brisket Rub
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Trim: Trim the bottom of the brisket so that the fat layer is no more than 1/4-inch thick. View my comprehensive tutorial (link above) for more details.
Season: Sprinkle a liberal amount of brisket seasoning all over the top, bottom and sides of the brisket.
Grill Setup: Fill the smoke box with a scoop of pellets. Set the Ninja Woodfire Grill to Smoker with a temperature of 225F degrees and a time of 8 hours.
Smoke: Smoke the brisket for about 5 1/2 hours, spritzing every 1-2 hours with apple cider vinegar, until it is probe tender and registers at an internal temperature of 200-210F degrees.
Rest: Once the brisket has finished cooking, wrap it in plastic wrap or foil and let it rest in a cooler without ice for at least 1 hour.
Slice: Remove the brisket from the wrapping and slice it against the grain.

Notes

For added flavor, season the brisket the night before and let it rest covered in the refrigerator overnight.

I always set the Ninja to more time than is needed so the clock doesn't run out in the middle of the cook. If the food is done cooking before the timer runs out, just push stop to turn the grill off.
