With a few steps and just a few basic ingredients, you can make this subtly smoked Beef Brisket without a smoker! You can skip the Herb Mop and simply add 2 tbsp (30 mL) each chopped fresh rosemary, thyme and oregano leaves to the vinegar sauce. Adding wood chips to the barbecue won’t produce the same intense flavour as a smoker and the brisket won’t achieve the coveted smoke ring but it will have a great crust and will be beautifully tender. For the strongest smoke flavour, select a hard wood, such as hickory or mesquite.
