Start by preparing the brisket. In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to create a dry rub.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the brisket, coating all sides. Let the brisket sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Ensure it's ready for slow smoking using your choice of wood chips or chunks. Hickory or oak are great options.
Place the brisket in the smoker. Smoke the meat for approximately 8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C) and the meat is tender. Baste occasionally with keto-friendly BBQ sauce during the last hour for added flavor.
Once the brisket is done, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Slice the brisket thinly against the grain.
To assemble the sandwich, take two slices of keto bread and spread yellow mustard on one or both slices.
Layer several slices of the smoked brisket on one slice of the bread.
Top the brisket with a leaf of lettuce, a few slices of tomato, and pickle slices.
Finish with the other slice of bread, close the sandwich, and repeat the process for the remaining three sandwiches.
Serve immediately, enjoying your hearty, low-carb smoked brisket sandwich!
