Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Trim the Brisket

    Begin by trimming excess fat from the brisket point, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat on top for flavor.

  2. 2

    Season the Brisket

    In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub the seasoning all over the brisket, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Smoker

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Use your choice of wood chips for smoking, such as hickory or oak.

  2. 4

    Smoke the Brisket

    Place the seasoned brisket in the smoker and smoke for about 6-8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C).

  3. 5

    Cube and Sauce the Brisket

    Once the brisket is done, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for 30 minutes. Cut the brisket into 1-inch cubes.

  4. 6

    Prepare the Glaze

    In a bowl, mix together BBQ sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar to create the glaze.

  5. 7

    Coat the Burnt Ends

    Toss the brisket cubes in the glaze until well coated.

  6. 8

    Return to the Smoker

    Place the glazed brisket cubes back in the smoker for an additional 1-2 hours, allowing the sauce to caramelize.
