Trim the brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat cap.
Combine salt and pepper in a bowl. Generously coat the brisket on all sides with the mixture, pressing it into the meat.
Prepare your smoker, aiming for a consistent temperature of 225-250°F (107-121°C). Add hickory or oak wood chunks for smoke.
Place the brisket in the smoker, fat-side up. Maintain the smoker temperature and add wood chunks as needed to maintain smoke.
Smoke the brisket for approximately 6-8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165-175°F (74-79°C).
Wrap the brisket tightly in butcher paper or aluminum foil. Add beef broth to the wrap before sealing.
Return the wrapped brisket to the smoker and continue cooking for another 4-6 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 203°F (95°C). The brisket should be probe-tender.
Remove the brisket from the smoker and let it rest, still wrapped, for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours, in a cooler or insulated container.
Unwrap the brisket and slice against the grain. Serve immediately and enjoy!
