Consequently, Iâm often asked how to use different-size eggs. Even though large eggs are the accepted standard in American recipes, you may find that your supermarket has extra-large eggs on sale one week and then jumbo eggs on sale next week.
Many variables affect cooking time and temperature such as how many times the smoker is opened, how close the brisket is to the fire box, the type of smoker you are using, the weight and thickness of the brisket, etc. Sticking to 225 degrees and 1 hour and 15 minutes puts you in the ballpark for a well cooked brisket.
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.
