Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    Rub the beef brisket with a mixture of smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Let it sit for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.

  2. 2

    Smoke the Brisket

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place the brisket in the smoker and smoke for about 6-8 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C).

  3. 3

    Cut into Burnt Ends

    Remove the brisket from the smoker and let it rest for 30 minutes. Cut the brisket into 1-inch cubes, and return the cubes to the smoker for an additional 1-2 hours.

  4. 4

    Glaze with BBQ Sauce

    During the last 30 minutes of smoking, toss the burnt ends in BBQ sauce to glaze them.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place the burnt ends on the brioche bun, top with pickles, and serve with your choice of side.
