First Brisket

I smoked my first Brisket today. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out but I might have gone a bit heavy with the rub. I think this might be one of the best things I've cooked on the egg so far.

Looks pretty good!  Hard to go too heavy on the rub!  Too salty?

I could have actually used more salt. When I say heavy i would say it almost seemed like it was caked on in some places. It's possible it was just uneven.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Looks great time and that didn't look like to much rub to me.  I usually use more then that.

Looks great...welcome to the Brisket Club !!

I try to get as much rub as possible on briskets...just my way of doing it, I guess.

The charred rub (bark) tastes good to me !!!

I did warp it in foil so I wonder if it made the outside a bit pasty which is why I though it had too much rub.
