Cooking Methods for 3 to 4-pound Beef Brisket

Instant Pot Pressure Cooking Method same method as above for slow cooker except for cook time will be for 1 hour and 15 minutes check for tenderness use an instant-read thermometer internal temperature reads 145 degrees and the meat shreds easily note: 175 degrees if using a pork roast
Oven Roasting Use a Reynolds Cooking Bag (poke holes in the bag around 6), season meat, add ingredients and cook to package instructions
Electric Smoker Method season, cover with foil add wood chips, and water to the tray in the smoker, set to 250 degrees cook for 3 to 4-pound in a disposable pan until it reaches 175 degrees inside use an instant-read thermometer in the thickest parts
Gas Grill if you have a smoker chamber for the grills this can be done in the same method as electric smoker instructions reach 145 degrees with a thermometer however I use a pan covered with the top of the grill open for the first hour
