Ingredients

7 pounds beef brisket boneless
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper divided
1 x water
1 medium onion grated
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon red hot pepper sauce (eg. Tabasco)

Directions

Prepare briquets; add desired wood chips.

Trim excess fat from beef brisket.

Combine paprika and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; rub evenly over surface of brisket.

Place brisket, fat side down, in 11 1/2 x 9-inch disposable aluminum pan.

Add 1 cup water. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil.

Cover cooker and cook 5 hours, turning brisket over every 11/2 hours; remove excess fat from pan with baster as it accumulates.

Add additional 1/2 cup water to pan, if needed.

Periodically add just enough additional briquets to keep coals at very low temperature.

Place brisket on grid, fat side down, directly over very low coals*.

Replace grill cover and continue cooking 30 minutes.

Meanwhile skim and discard fat from pan drippings; reserve 1 cup drippings.

Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat.

Add onions; cook until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.

Add reserved pan drippings, remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper, ketchup, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce and pepper sauce; simmer approximately 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Trim excess fat from brisket; carve brisket across the grain into thin slices.
