Trim the brisket, removing the deckle and saving the scraps.

Set the drum smoker to 210°F.

Season the brisket with a competition steak and brisket rub, which contains 72% salt and 16 mesh pepper and garlic.

Let the seasoned brisket sit for about 20 minutes before cooking.

Place the brisket fat side up in the smoker.

Cook the brisket in the smoker for about 6.5 to 7 hours.

Once the internal temperature reaches around 145°F, wrap the brisket in butcher paper.

Transfer the wrapped brisket to the oven set at 250°F.

Cook in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 202°F, then lower the oven temperature to 150°F to hold it warm for several hours.

Let the brisket rest before slicing.
