Ingredients
Scale

- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

Instructions
- Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).
- In a bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, black pepper, and salt.
- Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket.
- Place the brisket in the smoker and cook for about 6-8 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C).
- While the brisket is smoking, prepare the sweet tomato BBQ sauce by combining tomato sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke in a saucepan over medium heat.

- Once the brisket is done, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for 30 minutes before slicing.

- Letting the brisket rest is crucial for juicy slices.
