Brisket deserves a second act - and this sandwich delivers. Spiceology Smoked Paprika and Cayenne anchor the basting marinade and BBQ sauce for a deeply smoky, layered build that is anything but an afterthought. Stack it high on a toasted bolillo with tangy escabeche and BBQ mayo, and suddenly leftovers are the main event.

      1. Place brisket fat side up with the thicker side closest to the heat source. Wood should be in a separate smoker box or as indirect from the brisket as possible.
      2. We used Charcoal as our base and threw on a mix of mesquite and soaked hickory.
      3. Baste brisket with marinade every hour or so.
      4. Try to maintain 250° F the whole time and remove brisket once the internal meat temperature reaches about 170° F. Wrap in parchment paper and rest.
