    Preparation Steps

    1

    Prepare the brisket: trim excess fat, then generously rub with the barbecue rub, salt, and pepper. Ensure the entire surface is evenly coated.

    2

    Set your smoker to 225°F (110°C) and add the smoking wood (e.g., hickory or oak). Allow the smoker to preheat until it reaches the desired temperature.

    3

    Place the brisket in the smoker, fat-side up. Smoke for 6-8 hours, monitoring the temperature periodically and adding more wood as needed.

    4

    When the internal temperature of the brisket reaches 195-205°F (90-95°C), remove it from the smoker and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Let it rest for 1 hour to allow the juices to redistribute.

    5

    Before serving, slice the brisket into thin slices against the grain and serve with barbecue sauce. Complement with sides like baked beans, cornbread, or a fresh salad.
