brisket rub

[Larry Evers]

So, on a brisket just keep the rub simple? And, how long before I put it on the fire do I add the rub?

Some will apply rub and put meat in the cooker immediately. Others will apply rub and refrigerate overnight. Others choose an interval in between. I like overnight, but I would suggest at least 2 hours.

Rub for a brisket can be as simple as kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Use your imagination, a good recipe (you'll find several in the Recipes Forum), or your favorite commercial rub beyond that.
