Tony'S Smoked Beef Brisket

• 1 1/2 cups paprika
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons onion powder
• 3 tablespoons garlic salt
• 1 tablespoon celery salt
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon pepper
• 1 teaspoon mustard powder
• 1 teaspoon cayenne
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 (5 -6 lb) trimmed beef brisket, about 5 to 6 pounds

1. In a bowl combine all the dry ingredients and blend well.
2. Trim the brisket, leaving about 1/4-inch of fat. Season the brisket with about 1/4-cup of the rub. *Cook's Note: You don't want such a thick crust that the smoke won't penetrate the meat. Let the brisket marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
3. Preheat your grill to 250 degrees F using charcoal and hickory.
4. Using indirect heat, cook the brisket for 3 1/2 hours and flip. Cook another 3 1/2 hours, cooking for a total of 7 hours. (About 1 1/2 hours per pound.) The brisket should cook to an internal temperature of 185 degrees F.
5. Rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board before slicing. Slice brisket against the grain.
