I want to make a bbq beef brisket for Easter. Normally I do a spice rub and let it sit refrigerated for 24 hours, then wrap it up in foil onto my smoker over night. I smoke with mesquite chips. Sometimes I do a sweet brownsugar, salt, pepper, and garlic rub. Sometimes a cajun rub. Sometimes smokey paprika and cumin to really drive the bbq flavor home. I might want to venture out a bit this time. What is your best bbq brisket recipe?
When my husband smokes brisket he uses Big Ron's Original Rub.. It is delicious!! We have a bunch of his rubs but the original is my fav.. We put it on chicken, veggies, whatever... Awesome!

T. if it ain't broke....well, you know.
We do something similar in our home. The recipe for the rub is from Emeril's Texas Rub. Hubs does all the work. Wraps it in plastic wrap tho. Best thing we eat all year long...sometimes two or three times a year. :)
Your marinades sound good but I would suggest not wrapping it in foil. You will get a much better flavor and "smoke ring" if you just put the meat on the grate inside the smoker. Also try using different wood chips. We buy these Jack Daniels wood chips from Cabella's and they make a great smoke. They are made from the wood barrels that they age the whisky in.
I have a brisket mix that you cook in your crock-pot and it only takes four hours to cook..easy as can be. Check it out at homemadegourmet.com/lori5011
Garlic, onions, basil leaves, CLAUDES marinade, salt, pepper, water. You dont even have to marinade overnight. It's best if you have a slow cooker...or one of those portable like crockpot ovens with a temperature gage. Cover, cook on low (like 250) for about 4-6 hours (depending on size). When it's done, place on a cutting board and with 2 large forks, SHRED the brisket. It is delicious....no need for bbq sauce, the juice is so savory.
Just an idea you may wanna try! If you do, let me know what you think!
