BEST BARBECUE HICKORY-SMOKED BRISKET
This original recipe was printed in the insert cookbook that came with my crock pot many years ago. I adjusted it to suit our taste. This brisket is often requested for potlucks and during our football booster club days, it was prepared and sold at all home games. It can be served on buns with sliced onions and dill pickles or by itself. The cooking time reflects the marinade and cooling time.

HICKORY SMOKED BRISKET
This simple but delicious recipe is amazing! I use a corned beef brisket (discarding the little package of spices that usually comes with it.) It is very good served with red new potatoes and red cabbage. The leftover beef is perfect for Reuben sandwiches. This is one of our family favorites.

Tips:
- Always start with a quality piece of meat. Look for a brisket that is well-marbled and has a good amount of fat. This will help ensure that your brisket is moist and flavorful.
- Season the brisket liberally with a rub of your choice. Be sure to get the rub into all of the nooks and crannies of the meat.
- Smoke the brisket over indirect heat at a temperature of 225-250 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-12 hours, or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 200-205 degrees Fahrenheit.

- Serve the brisket with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, baked beans, and potato salad.
