• 2 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
• 2 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the napkins inside the grill and stack firewood over them.
3. Light the paper napkins and allow the fire to heat up for about 20 minutes.

Step 2: Season the Brisket

1. Mix salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2. Rub the seasoning generously over the brisket.

Step 3: Sear the Brisket

1. Place the brisket on the center grill grate at 1,000F.
2. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until a deep crust forms.

Step 4: Slow Cook on Flat Cooktop

1. Move the brisket onto the flat griddle cooktop towards the medium heat zone.
2. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 195F, flipping occasionally.

Step 5: Rest and Cube the Brisket

1. Remove the brisket when the internal temperature is 180F.
2. Let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting into bite-sized cubes.

Step 6: Caramelize the Burnt Ends

1. Mix BBQ sauce and brown sugar.
2. Toss the brisket cubes in the sauce mixture.
3. Place the cubes on the flat griddle cooktop near the center for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently until caramelized.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

1. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
2. Serve hot and enjoy the crispy, saucy burnt ends!

Tips

• Always remove the brisket 15F before desired doneness to allow residual heat to finish cooking.
• Use the hotter center griddle area to sear and move food outward for slower cooking.
• Apply butter to the flat griddle cooktop before caramelizing for extra flavor.

Variations

• Spicy Burnt Ends: Add 1 tsp cayenne pepper and a dash of hot sauce for extra heat.
• Honey Glazed Burnt Ends: Replace brown sugar with 2 tbsp honey for a sweeter, sticky glaze.
• Whiskey BBQ Burnt Ends: Mix BBQ sauce with 2 tbsp whiskey for a smoky depth of flavor.
• Garlic Butter Burnt Ends: Toss the burnt ends in melted garlic butter before serving.
• Maple Bourbon Burnt Ends: Substitute brown sugar for maple syrup and add 1 tbsp bourbon.
