brisket rub

[hammy]

Any suggestions on brisket rubs????

[hammy]

also do you mop it with anything during the cook??

[FLBentRider]

I like kosher salt, fresh cracked pepper and a little garlic powder.

I've not mopped.

I've used Zach's, Salt Lick, Salt and pepper, Salt Grass 7 Spice, Angelo's Brisket Rub.

You just gotta see what makes you happy.

If it is your first brisket, I would do what FLBR posted.

Then you can experiment on the second.

I'm with FLBR, white and black flavor crystals and garlic powder.

There are a lot of rubs out there.  The above recommendations are as good as any.  It is up to personal taste preference.  I do recommend a slather, going naked and a mop.   The goal is an interior natural meaty flavor with a flavorful bark to act as a condiment.  Here is some reading material.

I just a kosher salt + pepper rub the other night, with Worcestershire powder mixed in.   Very happy with the results.

For brisket I'm just a salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder kind of guy too.
