BEST BARBECUE HICKORY-SMOKED BRISKET



Best Barbecue Hickory-Smoked Brisket image

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.

  • 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.
