CUSTOMER - INSTRUCTIONS FOR REHEATING/PREPARATION

1. Place brisket in foil baking tray fat side up. Pour in 250ml of water or beef stock. Cover tightly with foil, pinching around the top edge of the baking tray to seal.

2. Prepare kettle BBQ for cooking over indirect heat. Add chunk of moistened hickory to coals or, if using gas, place a smoking box on the lower rack.

3. Place foil tray on upper rack in BBQ. Cover with lid.

4. Cook on lowest possible heat for 2½-3 hours, checking every hour to ensure that the baking dish has not dried out. If the dish is dry, add extra water or stock. If using coals add an extra chunk of hickory each hour. Reseal dish and put lid firmly back in place.

5. When brisket is very tender, remove from heat. Rest for 15 minutes.

6. Slice thinly against the grain and serve with pan juices.
