For a deeper smoky flavor, consider using a combination of hickory and mesquite wood chips. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your desired level of spiciness. Don't skip the resting period! It allows the juices to redistribute throughout the brisket, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product. If you don't have a smoker, you can adapt this recipe for a slow cooker or oven. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
