Place brisket in a roasting pan or smoker. Pour beef broth into the bottom of the pan. Add BBQ sauce if desired.
07 -
Cook for 6 to 8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 90–96°C. Maintain steady low heat throughout the cooking period.

For added tenderness, wrap the brisket in aluminium foil during the last hour of cooking to retain moisture.

Remove brisket from heat and let it rest uncovered for 30 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
