Ingredients:

• 1 (4-5 pound) brisket
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup beef broth

Instructions:

1. Combine the paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, brown sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket.
2. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (110°C).
3. Place the brisket in the smoker and smoke for 6-8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 190°F (88°C).
4. While the brisket is smoking, combine the apple cider vinegar and beef broth in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let cook until reduced by half, about 10-15 minutes.
5. When the brisket is done, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing against the grain.
6. Serve the sliced brisket with the reduced vinegar and broth mixture spooned over the top.
