Instructions
Step 1
Gather the ingredients.Step 2
Preheat smoker and add wood chips of your choice. Clean and dry the brisket. Combine rub ingredients and apply onto brisket.Step 3
Place brisket in the smoker for 8 to 10 hours. Keep the smoker temperature at about 225 F (110 C). To increase tenderness, take the brisket out of the smoker, wrap in aluminum foil and place in the oven at 180 to 200 F (80 C to 95 C) for the last two hours. Typically after 8 to 10 hours a piece of meat will have absorbed as much smoke as it can and additional smoking may impart a bitter flavor.Step 4
