Brisket Rub and Mop Sauce

[BlackBark]

Rub:

3 Tbsps Mexene chili powder
1 Tbsp kosher salt
2 tsps black pepper
1 1/2 tsps dark brown sugar
1 1/2 tsps garlic salt
1 1/2 tsps onion powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground oregano
3/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Mop Sauce: Mix until salt and sugar is disolved. I start mopping at the beginning of the 3rd hour and then every hour after.

1 cup distilled white vinegar
1 cup Guiness Draught beer
1 Tbsp garlic salt
1 Tbsp dark brown sugar
1 tsp hot red pepper flakes
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp onion juice

Those look like some finely matched flavor profiles to me.

I got a little tiered up on the "1/2 tsp onion juice". But really I like the way you are headed with your flavors! I haven't done a brisket yet but it is on the to do list.

That looks mighty fine to me also.  The cumin is a nice touch you don't see often.  I like the stout mops.  Ever tried the mop with some fat in it such as margarine or butter? 

[BlackBark]

Nope. Haven't tried with fat. Don't really want to mess with it the way it is. It is a good combo.
