Smoked Pork Brisket Recipe

Paul Sidoriak
Pork brisket is something you should be cooking on your smoker but probably aren't.
This dish is easy to make as the heat, smoke, and seasoning rub do the majority of the work.
Your hardest decision will be how many people you invite to sample this delicious and relatively undiscovered cut of meat.
