Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat for flavor.

  2. 2

    Season the Brisket

    In a bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the brisket.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Smoker

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).

  4. 4

    Smoke the Brisket

    Place the brisket in the smoker, fat side up. Smoke for approximately 1.5 hours per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C).

  5. 5

    Wrap and Rest

    Once the brisket reaches the desired temperature, wrap it in butcher paper or aluminum foil and let it rest for at least 1 hour.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine beef broth and barbecue sauce. Simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with the barbecue sauce drizzled over the top.
