Ingredients

• 3 pounds brisket
• 12 buns slider buns
• 1 cup barbecue sauce
• 1 cup pickles
• 1 medium onions
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup water

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).

2. 2

   In a small bowl, mix together 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder to create a dry rub.

3. 3

   Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch for flavor. Rub the dry mixture evenly over the brisket.

4. 4

   Place the brisket in the smoker and cook for about 1.5 hours per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C). This will take approximately 4.5 hours for a 3-pound brisket.

5. 5

   During the last hour of smoking, mix 1 cup of barbecue sauce with 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and 1 cup of water. Brush this mixture over the brisket for added moisture and flavor.

6. 6

   Once the brisket reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for 30 minutes, covered with foil.

7. 7

   While the brisket is resting, slice the medium onion thinly and prepare the slider buns and pickles.

8. 8

   After resting, slice the brisket against the grain into thin pieces.

9. 9

   Assemble the sliders by placing a slice of brisket on each slider bun, topping with additional barbecue sauce, pickles, and sliced onions.
