Instructions

Trim and season the brisket: Trim excess fat, leaving about 1/4 inch. Mix salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder, then rub evenly on all sides. Let rest for 30–60 minutes.
Smoke the brisket: Preheat smoker to 225°F (107°C). Smoke the brisket point for 4–6 hours until internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C), adding wood chips as needed.
Cube and sauce: Cut the smoked brisket point into 1-inch cubes. Toss cubes with barbecue sauce and optional brown sugar or honey.
Caramelize: Return cubed brisket to the smoker or oven at 225–250°F for 1–2 hours until edges are caramelized and slightly crispy.
Rest and serve: Let burnt ends rest 10–15 minutes. Serve as a main dish, on sandwiches, or with side dishes like mac & cheese.
