too salty

Old brisket cooks claim all is needed is salt and pepper,with some garlic powder.

Many folks feel that the goal is to balance sweet with salt and heat.

If you like,add an extra ingredient that you like.

Try adding some sugar,until it tastes balanced to your tongue.

Add some black pepper,if you like a little heat.

Add some cayenne,if you like a little more.

Remember the old adage, about tasting at the end and adding salt-if needed.

Hope this helps a little.

Just cut back on the salt. You can't add something to counteract too much salt. Look for some different rubs without a lot of salt.

Too bad CS's new Brisket rub isn't out yet, but I won't give them a shamelss plug until I've tested/tasted it.

David,
one way would be to take say half of the too salty mix and then add other ingredients to taste, this will reduce the salt by half or what ever portion you use. This is the reason I use garlic powder, onion powder and so on, that way I can add more spice with less salt

david,
try this even tho i haven't seen your recipe.
inplace of 1 cup of garlic salt try 1/2 cup garlic powder and 1/4 cup kosher salt. that would still give you the garlic taste but should cut down on your saltiness.
hope it helps some
