Method
Brisket Preparation
- 1
Season the Brisket
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and brown sugar. Rub the seasoning mix all over the brisket point, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Wrap the Brisket
Wrap the seasoned brisket tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight to enhance flavor.
Cooking the Brisket
- 3
Preheat the Smoker
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Use wood chips of your choice (hickory or oak works well) for a great smoky flavor.

Smoke the Brisket
Remove the brisket from the refrigerator and place it in the smoker. Smoke for about 6-8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C).

Rest the Brisket
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the smoker and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before cutting. This helps retain the juices.
