1
Prepare the Brisket
Trim excess fat from the brisket and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and brown sugar. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
2
Smoke the Brisket
Preheat your smoker to 250°F (120°C). Place the seasoned brisket cubes on the smoker grates and smoke for about 4 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C).
3
Prepare the Sauce
In a bowl, mix the BBQ sauce and apple cider vinegar together until well combined.
4
Glaze and Finish
Remove the smoked brisket from the smoker and toss the cubes in the BBQ sauce mixture. Return them to the smoker and continue cooking for another 1-2 hours, or until they become tender and caramelized.
5
Serve
Once done, remove the burnt ends from the smoker and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
