Ingredients

wood chips
¼ cup paprika
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup ground cumin
¼ cup cayenne pepper
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup chili powder
¼ cup garlic powder
¼ cup onion powder
¼ cup kosher salt
¼ cup freshly cracked black pepper
10 pounds beef brisket, or more to taste

Steps:

Soak wood chips in a bowl of water, 8 hours to overnight.
Mix paprika, white sugar, cumin, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Rub the spice mixture over the entire brisket; refrigerate for 24 hours.
Preheat smoker to between 220 degrees F (104 degrees C) and 230 degrees F (110 degrees C). Drain wood chips and place in the smoker.
Smoke brisket in the preheated smoker until it has an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 12 1/2 hours. Wrap brisket tightly in butcher paper or heavy-duty aluminum foil and return to smoker.
Continue smoking brisket until an internal temperature of 185 degrees F (85 degrees C) is reached, about 1 hour more.
