Thinking about doing a brisket this weekend.........

[4given]

Thinking of doing a brisket this weekend but I have not bought it yet so I won't have the time to wet age it. Does that really matter that much?

What about a proper rub? Is Jan's Rub OK for this or is there something else I should try? Also, I have Hickory and Apple pucks but no Mesquite.  which would you use?

I'm thinking juicy so I am thinking an IT of 190 and then FTC?

Just gathering some ideas!

IMHO the aging part isn't all that important.  As for a rub I would suggest the Salt Lick clone recipe that our friend Squirtthecat has perfected. For the stronger wood flavor your looking for I would say use the Hickory.  185-195 should be a good place to pull the brisket then double wrap in foil and FTC for 2 hours

What he said (or you can just go with salt, pepper, & granulated garlic).
