Trim the brisket by removing hard fat from the back and silver skin.

Shape the brisket for even cooking by trimming edges and fat cap to about a quarter inch.

Season the brisket with a rub made of 2 parts black pepper, 1 part kosher salt, and 1/2 part garlic.

Prepare the Weber kettle with post oak wood chunks for smoking.

Place the brisket on the Weber kettle, fat side up, and maintain a temperature between 250°F and 300°F.

After about four hours, flip the brisket to have the fatty side closer to the fire.

Spritz the brisket with apple cider vinegar to keep it moist during cooking.

Maintain the fire by adding charcoal as needed and using a leaf blower to help ignite new chunks.
