This smoked play on the "Mississippi pot roast" starts with a premium Creekstone Farms Prime Brisket Flat, generously slathered with Bear & Burton’s The W Sauce and seasoned to perfection with Cattleman’s Grill Trail Dust All Purpose Seasoning. Smoke the brisket on a Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill overnight at a low 190ºF to infuse it with rich, smoky flavor. As the morning unfolds, increase the temperature to 250ºF to build a solid bark, then transfer the brisket to a foil pan with pepperoncinis, chopped garlic, beef stock, and Ranch Seasoning. Allow the brisket to braise, covered, at 300ºF until it reaches a tender 210ºF and falls apart effortlessly. Meanwhile, prepare a batch of creamy smashed red potatoes, enriched with half and half, butter, and seasoned with Jacobsen Salt Co. Kosher Sea Salt. Once the brisket is ready, shred and chop it finely, letting the meat soak up the flavorful juices. Serve this succulent brisket over a bed of the buttery smashed potatoes for a comforting, hearty meal that embodies the essence of slow-cooked perfection.

Directions

Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill to 190ºF, set up for smoking.
Slather the brisket with about one quarter cup of Bear & Burton’s The W Sauce on all sides. Season with Cattleman’s Grill Trail Dust All Purpose Seasoning.
Smoke the brisket overnight, about 10-12 hours. In the morning, turn the grill temperature up to 250ºF and continue smoking until the internal temperature reaches about 160ºF - 170ºF, and a solid bark is formed on the outside, then remove from the smoker and turn the grill temperature up to 300ºF.
Combine the remaining ingredients in a half-sized foil pan. Place the brisket in the pan. Cover with foil. Return to the grill and cook until falling apart, about 210ºF internal.
To make the mashed potatoes, first boil the quartered potatoes until tender. Strain the water from the potatoes and transfer the potatoes to a pan. Add the half and half and butter and mash and stir with a hand masher until incorporated. Season with Jacobsen Salt Co. Kosher Sea Salt, to taste.
Shred the brisket by hand, then chop with a cleaver. Toss the chopped brisket in the juices in the pan until all of the liquid is incorporated into the meat.
Serve the brisket over mashed potatoes.

Recipe Highlights and Insights:

Mississippi seasoning methods are all about layering bold, tangy, and savory flavors to create dishes that pack a punch. Typically, this involves a combination of classic Southern ingredients like pepperoncinis, ranch seasoning, and garlic, which are used to enhance the natural richness of meats like brisket or pork. The process often begins with a generous slather of Worcestershire sauce or a zesty marinade, followed by a robust dry rub that includes a blend of all-purpose seasonings, garlic, and sometimes a touch of sugar to balance the heat. Once seasoned, the meat is either slow-cooked or smoked to allow the flavors to deeply penetrate, resulting in a dish that’s both tender and bursting with flavor. This method of seasoning is quintessentially Southern, combining the comforting warmth of home-cooked meals with a bold, tangy edge.
