Directions:RUB: Mix the paprika, 1 tbsp each of salt, black pepper, brown sugar and cayenne. Rub mixture all over brisket, wrap tightly and refrigerate overnight.
Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. Prepare an outdoor grill with a medium to medium-high fire for indirect grilling.
SAUCE:Mix the tomato puree, beer, celery, onion, .5 cup vinegar, the brown sugar, mustard, bacon, garlic, chiles, bay leaves, chili powder, 1 tbsp salt and black pepper to taste in a large disposable aluminum pan. Put brisket in sauce.
Put a handful on drained wood chips on hot coals or in smoking pan. Put the meat pan on the cool side of the grill, cover with foil and make sure vent holes are directly over brisket. Baste the meat every 30 minutes, turning occasionally and adding water to the pan as necessary to keep meat partially submerged, until the meat is tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted registers 200ºf, about 3-4 hours. If using charcoal, replenish as needed to maintain fire.
Transfer the brisket to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for 20 minutes. Skim the fat from the braising sauce and stir in the remaining 25 cup cider vinegar and salt to taste. Reheat if necessary. Thinly slice bacon across the grain and arrange on a serving platter. Spoon some sauce over the meat and pass the rest at the table.. |
