Take the brisket out of the refrigerator to trim it while it's cold.

Trim off hard fat from the brisket, saving it for future use like burgers.

Use a rub made of Texas salt pepper garlic and add a little Steakhouse rub for extra flavor.

Sprinkle Kona coffee on the brisket for added depth of flavor.

Place the brisket in the smoker at 225°F (107°C).

Insert temperature probes into the brisket to monitor cooking.

After about 5 hours, check the internal temperature, which should be around 170°F (77°C).

Transfer the brisket into a pan with chopsticks underneath to prevent it from sitting directly on the bottom.

Add beef tallow and Campbell's beef broth to the pan with the brisket.

Cover the pan with aluminum foil and increase the smoker temperature to 275°F (135°C).

Cook until the internal temperature reaches around 203°F (95°C) for tenderness, which takes about 11 hours total.

Once tender, remove the brisket and place it in a cooler to rest before slicing.
