Using herbs can impart flavor without the need for specialty items.

Prepare the beef brisket by trimming excess fat and seasoning with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Preheat the grill to medium heat, about 350°F (175°C).

Soak wood chips in water for 30 minutes, then drain.

Place the soaked wood chips in a smoker box or wrap in aluminum foil, poking holes for smoke to escape.

Put the brisket on the grill and add the smoker box or foil packet.

Cook the brisket for 4-6 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature and adding more wood chips as needed.

Brush the brisket with barbecue sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Remove the brisket from the grill and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.

Serve on buns with additional barbecue sauce, pickles, and onions.
