Monitor rainfall. Don't water the lawn if rains are expected soon. Keep track of rainfall for the week. Don't apply more water to the lawn than what is absolutely necessary. The guide of about 1 of water per week is only a guide. If your lawn doesn't get that 1 of water, it's not going to die.
Youâll want to check the internal temp after 5 hours. It should be in the 160 to 170 range. At this temp, you want to pull the brisket off the smoker and place in an aluminum pan and add Â¼â of liquid (beef stock, apple juice, etc.) to the aluminum pan and APPLY MORE DRY RUB, then cover with aluminum foil.
Bake the Brisket. 1  Place a fat-trimmed 3- to 3-1/2-pound fresh beef brisket in a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. 2  Cover the pan with foil. 3  Bake in a 325 degrees F oven about 3 hours or until tender, turning once halfway through cooking time.
