1
Prepare the Brisket
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Trim excess fat from the brisket and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
2
Make the Rub
In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Rub the mixture all over the brisket cubes.
3
Smoke the Brisket
Place the brisket cubes in the smoker and cook for about 4 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C).
4
Sauce the Burnt Ends
Remove the brisket from the smoker and toss the cubes in BBQ sauce. Return them to the smoker for an additional 1-2 hours until caramelized.
5
Rest and Serve
Let the burnt ends rest for about 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy with pickle, coleslaw, and potato salad.
