1

Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving a 1/4-inch layer.

2

Rub the brisket with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and brown sugar.

3

Let the brisket sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to absorb the rub.

4

Preheat your smoker to 225°F using wood chips for smoke flavor.

5

Place the brisket in the smoker, fat side up, and smoke for 6-8 hours until it reaches an internal temperature of 190°F.

6

Remove the brisket from the smoker and let it rest for 30 minutes.

7

Cut the brisket into 1-inch cubes, discarding any tough bits.

8

Toss the cubes in barbecue sauce and place them in a baking dish.

Add beef broth and apple cider vinegar to the dish, mixing well.

10

Cover the dish with foil and bake at 300°F for 1 hour.
