Ingredients

Brisket

  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
  • 3 teaspoons onion salt
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 brisket flat fat cap removed

Sandwich Assembly

  • 1 bottle BBQ sauce Buc-ee’s or Stubb’s Original
  • hamburger buns

Instructions

  • Preheat the smoker to 225°F.
  • Place all the spices in a spice grinder and pulse until very finely ground.
  • Sprinkle a thin layer of spice mix all over the brisket. Do not heavily coat the brisket with spices. Save the leftover spice mix for future use.
  • Place the brisket fat-side down in the smoker. (This promotes a more distinct smoke ring and protects the lean meat from the heat.) Place a probe thermometer into the brisket and smoke until it reaches 200°F.
  • Remove the brisket from the smoker, cover with foil, and let rest for about an hour before serving.
  • Slice or chop the brisket and dress it lightly with BBQ sauce. Serve as a sandwich, with about 8 ounces of brisket per bun.
