When is the Best Time to Mop Brisket: Tips and Tricks from BBQ Experts
You should mop the brisket during the smoking process, typically every 30-60 minutes, to keep it moist and add flavor. Mopping involves lightly brushing or spraying the brisket with a liquid mixture, often made with apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and spices. The mop helps to prevent the brisket from drying out and forms a flavorful crust on the outside.
