  12. (Alternately, prepare a stove-top smoker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Place the unwrapped brisket on the rack over low heat. Close the lid and smoke for 1 hour.

  17. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly before serving.
  18. Essence: Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
