Need help with a Brisket Rub

[CHorn]

So i broke down and got a smoker a couple of weeks ago and have been testing it with ribs and chicken. But I am ready to move up to doing a brisket. Any recommedations on a rub and how long to apply it for before cooking it. Any help would be grateful.

I really like the Rudy's rub or the Fiesta Brisket Rub and I apply it about 24 hours beforehand.

I use their Texas Spice on pork products, and their original Texas BBQ Rub on everything else, including brisket. Their Brisket Blend is good, but I am pretty sure I prefer the BBQ Rub on brisket. I regularly test this though!

I like Rudy's rub, too. Any rub can make a mess, so I put the brisket in a roomy plastic bag, pour in the rub, work it in, and leave it in the bag overnight. Transfer it straight from the bag to the smoker and then toss the bag in the trash. No mess, no clean-up.

2 parts salt
1 part black pepper
1 part paprika

Apply 30 minutes to an hour before cooking, and let the meat warm to room temp or close before throwing on the pit

How long and at what temp do you typically cook a brisket?

I'm considering trying one this weekend (for about 5 people); I've only done ribs before.

If you ever buy cases of beer or tea or soda, etc. the cardboard bottom makes for a great container to keep a rub from going all over the place. The top of a banker's box works the same way - it's just usually smaller.

Somebody needs to find the Brisket thread again and bump it to the top. I can't remember what it was called.

And can we just get it tagged at the top?
