Trim excess fat from brisket point. Season all sides with dry rub.
Place directly on the grill of your smoker and cook until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 165°F, about 2-3 hours.
Remove the meat from the smoker and wrap in aluminum foil. Return the meat to the smoker and cook until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 185°F, about an hour.
Remove the meat from the smoker and cut into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubes in a disposable aluminum pan and cover with BBQ sauce. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place it back in the smoker for another 1-2 hours, or until the meat is very tender. Check after an hour and add more BBQ sauce if necessary.
Remove the meat from the smoker and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with your favorite side dishes. These make a great BBQ sandwich.
