After great success with a PB on the weekend, SWMBO and I smoked our first brisket today. We got a 7.8lb flat from BJ's -- put it on at 6:30am and by 4:30 it was ready. It was one of the tastiest briskets I ever ate. Yum!
I used my own "nuthin' fancy" beef rub which I find cheaper than buying pre-made ones. Here's the rub:
2 Tbs kosher salt
1 Tbs light brown sugar
1 Tbs garlic powder
1 Tbs "seasoned pepper" (McCormick's)
1 Tbs paprika
1/2 Tbs onion powder
This makes just enough for one brisket, and my wife says, "I don't know how you can improve on this -- but keep trying!"
The Prophet
Note: For Pork Butt I add 2 more Tbs of brown sugar. For ribs I use the same pork recipe only tsp's instead of Tbs's.
