In a large bowl, combine tomato puree, tomato soup, water, chili sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, minced onion, minced garlic, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and liquid smoke to create the barbecue sauce.

Place the beef brisket in a slow cooker or a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven.
-
Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the beef, ensuring it is well coated.
-
Cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the meat is tender and begins to shred easily.
-
Remove the meat from the cooking vessel and place it on a cutting board or large plate.
-
Skim any excess fat from the surface of the sauce in the cooking vessel.
-
Use two forks to shred the beef into small, bite-sized pieces, separating the grain for better texture.

Simmer the meat in the sauce for an additional 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serve the hot shredded beef on toasted sesame seed buns.
