While I'm totally intimidated by the grill/smoker and outdoor cooking, Jimmy is a master at it.

I handled the seasoning/rub and Jimmy handled the smoking of this juicy brisket!

The way this was prepared and smoked left a very favorful crunchy crust around a tender and juicy brisket.

How to Make Jimmy's Smoked Brisket

Step-by-Step

Lightly oil brisket with vegetable oil.
Mix all rub ingredients together; spread generously over meat on all sides. Wrap in plastic wrap and let marinate over night in the fridge.
Prepare smoker with charcoal and add hickory chips to top of charcoal. You want to smoke brisket slow and low. Temp should be maintained around 225 to 250 degrees.
Place brisket in a large disposable aluminum pan. Place over coals and smoke low and slow for 10 to 12 hours. Add coal as needed to keep heat going. Occassionally pour beer over brisket.
Once done, remove from heat and wrap in foil. Let rest for about 1 hour before slicing.
