The Best Smoked Brisket Recipe

Everybody has their own favourite way to make smoked brisket. Some like it with a thick coating of sticky-sweet BBQ sauce, while others prefer it seasoned with a layer of spicy dry rub. Maybe you prefer it shaved into thin, stackable slices, like in this Oklahoma Joe Smoked Brisket Flat recipe, or perhaps cut thick for generous slabs of brisket goodness.
