Prepare the brisket by trimming excess fat and leaving a thin layer for moisture.

Mix rub spices together in a bowl.

Coat the brisket with mustard to help the rub adhere.

Sprinkle the rub evenly over the brisket, pressing it into the meat.

Wrap the brisket in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.

Preheat the smoker to 225°F (107°C).

Place smoking wood in the smoker and allow it to start producing smoke.

Put the brisket in the smoker, fat side up, and smoke for 12-16 hours until tender.

Spritz the brisket with apple cider vinegar every hour to keep it moist.

Once the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C), remove the brisket.

Wrap the brisket in butcher paper and let it rest for at least 1 hour.

Slice against the grain and serve with barbecue sauce.
