thanks to all I ended up going with the recipe I posted at the last minute I changed my mind on a few things like a little less salt more cumin less hot and I mixed about 1/2C of the mix and mixed it with the yellow mustard , Worcestershire and jalapeño juice to make a paste rub worked well should have put it on the day before will next time.I use my brisket to make my chili but there is never beans involved .
