Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef brisket
• 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 2 cups Wood chips (oak or hickory)
• 6 Burger buns
• 1 cup Barbecue sauce
• 2 cups Coleslaw mix
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sugar

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the rub for the brisket. In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and brown sugar.

Step 2

Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the brisket, ensuring it's well-coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight for best results.

Step 3

Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place the wood chips in the smoker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 4

Place the brisket on the smoker, fat side up, and smoke for about 6-8 hours, or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 195°F (90°C). Replenish wood chips as needed.

Step 5

Once the brisket is fully cooked, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Step 6

While the brisket is resting, prepare the coleslaw. In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 7

Once rested, thinly slice the brisket against the grain.

Step 8

To assemble the sandwiches, place a generous portion of sliced brisket on the bottom half of each burger bun. Top with a spoonful of barbecue sauce and a scoop of coleslaw.

Step 9

Place the top half of the bun over the coleslaw, press gently, and serve immediately.
