For an even deeper smoky flavor, consider searing the brisket in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. If you prefer a sweeter brisket, increase the amount of brown sugar in the rub to your liking. Don't discard the braising liquid! It's packed with flavor and makes an excellent sauce for serving. Feel free to experiment with different types of barbecue sauce to customize the flavor profile.
