I have to say after some feed back on those who ate it they liked it. I personally thought it was a bit dry. Maybe I am to hard on myself.  ???

I didn't put any rub on it, I brine'd it with Mojo, next time I am going to rub it with some new seasoning by buddy brought me from Texas. So we will see how it goes there. I have also heard just hit it with some salt and pepper and let it roll. So I got some things to try. More to come as I do another one.

Notes
  • Second from Top Rack
  • PreHeat the Smoke Generator
  • Dry Rub

Thanks for all the help and feed back Gents.

If you brine/marinade it again in the mojo maybe a rub of salt/pepper/ and goya adobo seasoning.

I know that works for Boston Butts.

Waterkc - congrats on the smoke - It looked mighty tasty to me.  The mojo marinade is interesting.  

However, did not see it cut to comment on the dryness, but a smoked brisket is generally not going to be as moist as a medium rare ribeye.  There's going to be a different texture also - it's never going to be buttery smooth and tender as a tenderloin.  

Salt & Pepper AKA Dalmatian rub is a good thing - the Brisket Belt Way - that and smoked with Oak.

Yeah that is my Texas buddy thoughts also, He enjoy'd it said it was great. I think I need to adjust my expectation, it was not tough or anything so I was just expecting a rare type steak I guess.

The next is going to be the dalmatian as you say. Meet the local butcher yesterday and explained what I was doing, gave him some meat to try and he is very excited to see how things go. Will be setting aside some things for me special. Here in Cali they tend to lean everything out for the health nuts. He will be correcting that for me and setting meat aside. So no more skinny on the fat needed. Next one will be even better I am sure.

Thanks for the all the help and feed back. I got a few smokes under my belt now starting to get into a groove with this thing. Next is the pork butt, Going to start it Thursday night and see how long it takes. Its about 11lbs. So more to come.
