    Cover the brisket with the slices of bacon, cover with foil& slow cook for 3 hours or until meat is tender.
    Remove from oven& add remaining spice mixture; smoke brisket with the wood chips in a smoker over low flame according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 to 30 minutes.
    OR use your barbecue to smoke the meat- wrap the wood chips loosely with foil paper, poke holes in the foil, add wood chips to the barbecue on medium high heat; when the chips start to smoke, turn the grill to low heat& put the meat on the upper part of grill.
