Prepare a bowl with homemade barbecue rub by adding extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar, then a splash of liquid smoke. Mix until it resembles a paste.

Leave the fat on the brisket, then paint the brisket with the wet rub on all sides.

Spray a 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick spray and place the brisket inside with the fat side facing up.

Cover the slow cooker and let it cook on low for 12 hours, preferably overnight.

After 12 hours, remove the brisket carefully from the slow cooker and place it on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil.

Set the oven to broil and place the brisket in the oven until it gets nice and crisp, about 5 minutes.

Cover the brisket and let it rest for a while before slicing.

Slice the brisket and serve, ensuring to keep the cooking liquid in the slow cooker for storage.
