1
Prepare the Brisket
Trim excess fat from the brisket and rub with the spice mixture. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
2
Smoke the Brisket
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place the brisket in the smoker and smoke for about 6 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
3
Wrap and Continue Smoking
Wrap the brisket in butcher paper and return it to the smoker. Continue smoking for an additional 2-4 hours until the internal temperature reaches 203°F (95°C).
4
Rest the Brisket
Remove the brisket from the smoker and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
5
Prepare Burnt Ends
Cut the smoked brisket into cubes and place them in a pan. Toss with your favorite barbecue sauce and return to the smoker for an additional 1 hour.
6
Serve
Remove the burnt ends from the smoker, let them cool slightly, and serve warm.
