Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Rub
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, and mustard powder. Mix well to create your dry rub.

Rub the Brisket
Pat the beef brisket dry with paper towels. Generously apply the dry rub all over the brisket, making sure to cover all sides. Wrap the brisket in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor.
Smoking
- 3
Soak Wood Chips
Soak hickory wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before smoking. This will help them produce smoke instead of burning up quickly.

Prepare the Smoker
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Once the smoker is up to temperature, add the soaked wood chips to the smoker box or directly on the coals.
