Rubs for Brisket?

Mayberry

I'm doing my second brisket flat today, and wanted opinions on what type of rub most people use. I believe I used dizzy pig dizzy dust last time, but I am out of my standard pork rubs right now. I do have some cow lick and some raising the steaks, if that would be good on brisket. Also, with a 5 pound flat, what do you generally expect, about one to 1 1/2 hours per pound ?

I also have something from a friend who is making his own rubs and trying to get them marketed. I tasted it and it seems to be very consistent with a lot of pork rubs only it had an extra bit of cayanne and paprika in it.

I use my own, whatever the favorite is for beef, go with it, or like you have discovered even a pork rub works.

Equal portions salt and pepper mixed with half that amount of garlic powder and onion powder.

+1 on Mighty Quinn's suggestion.  KISS method for beef is always best.  If you are looking for exotic, inject and based with zesty italian dressing.

I have used DP Raising the Steaks before and it was really good.
