Quarantine brisket

I've cooked a brisket only once before, many years ago when my smoker was one of the Brinkman leaky barrels.  Yesterday I got around to my second one.

I trimmed much of the fat away, seasoned with salt and pepper, and smoked for about 11 hours in the neighborhood of 240 degrees.  I didn't foil it at all--I think I will next time.


What's your favorite rub/prep/technique for brisket?

    I haven't settled on the optimal rub yet.  I'm still experimenting.  With that said, I recently discovered Chupacabra Steak Rub and I've started to put that stuff on all beef.  I put it on my last brisket as a 2nd layer after a first layer of Bolner's Fiesta Brand Brisket Rub - then I added some fresh ground pepper.  It was money.

    Foghorn, the Chupacabra rubs are AWESOME.  We have most of them, and also have given the Sampler kits out for gifts.  If you have not tried the Chop Haus blend yet, I highly recommend it, as well as the others.
