Method
Preparation
Prepare the Dry Rub
In a bowl, mix together paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
Season the Brisket
Generously rub the spice mixture all over the brisket, ensuring it is evenly coated. Wrap the brisket in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Smoking
Prepare the Smoker
Soak the hickory wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).
Smoke the Brisket
Place the brisket fat side up in the smoker and add the soaked wood chips. Smoke for about 1 to 1.5 hours per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F to 205°F (90°C to 96°C).
Resting
Rest the Brisket
Once the brisket has reached the desired temperature, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
