Do you apply the brisket rub overnight before the cook, or simply the morning of while you are heating up the BGE?  Or is it just a question of convenience?

    Done it both ways, found no discernable difference, in the rubs I use.

    This.  I also have found no discernible difference.  :)

    I apply the rub right after trimming the brisket.  That happens several hours prior to the start of the cook if an evening lift-off the day prior if a morning launch.   As above, I cannot attribute any duration of rub on the brisket prior to the cook to impact the outcome.  There are too many other variables at play.  I guess you could split a packer length-wise and run a test but that would require too much effort for me.  FWIW-

    I've seen no difference. Doing dry brine with Kosher salt for 24-48 hours makes a huge difference. (Then do rub just before cooking.)

    I do this and it makes a huge difference, especially since my rub is light on salt.
