I sprinkle (lightly) Hickory Smoked Salt(you buy this in the spice section- its black salt) on the brisket and cook it either in the oven or in the crockpot. Then I make my own barbeque sauce that is: 1 cup catsup, 1 Tablespoon each of the following: sugar, vinegar, liquid smoke, and worscheshire sauce. You can double if you need more.
