Trim the cold brisket to a aerodynamic shape, leaving exactly 1/4 inch of fat cap and removing all hard 'deckle' fat.
Mix salt, pepper, and garlic to create a 'Dalmatian rub' and apply generously to all sides, allowing it to sweat at room temperature for 45 minutes.
Preheat your offset smoker to a steady 225°F using post oak; place the brisket fat-side up in the coolest zone of the chamber.
Spritz the edges of the brisket every 90 minutes with a mixture of vinegar, water, and Worcestershire sauce to prevent scorching.
Once the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the bark is set (dark mahogany color), remove from the smoker.
Lay out two overlapping sheets of butcher paper and pour 1 cup of warm liquid tallow over the paper and another cup over the brisket itself.
Wrap the brisket tightly in the tallow-soaked paper, ensuring no air pockets remain, and return to the smoker at 250°F.
Pull the brisket when the thickest part of the flat feels like 'warm butter' (approx. 203°F internal), then rest in a heated cambro or cooler for at least 4 hours before slicing.
